-### Geo-replication
-#### 1. JSON output for Geo-rep status and config for Glusterd2 integration
-**Notes for users:**
-gsyncd config and status-get commands can now return data in JSON formats.

**Notes for users:**
-Geo-replication config file is enhanced to accept additional fields that contain

+#### 7. Rebalance skips migration of file if it detects writes from application
+**Notes for users:**
+Rebalance process skips migration of file if it detects writes from application.
+To force migration even in the presence of writes from application to file,
+"cluster.force-migration" has to be turned on, which is off by default.
+
+The option to control this behavior is,
+```
+# gluster volume set <volname> cluster.force-migration <on/off>
+```
+
+**Limitations:**
+It is suggested to run remove-brick with cluster.force-migration turned off.
+This results in files which have writes from clients being skipped during
+rebalance. It is suggested to copy these files manually to a Gluster mount post
+remove brick commit is performed.

+Rebalancing files with active write IO to them has a chance of data corruption.
