Changelog

0.2.2 (2013-04-19)

• Allow specifying ‘configure_args’ on cmmi.Build or ‘args’ on cmmi.Configure.

• Fix supervisor’s path lookup for event listeners to support the automatically installed superlance plugins better. This may change again in the future depending on other event listener needs.

0.2.1 (2013-04-18)

• Fix supervisor refactoring: templates contained static paths from my development machine. Event listeners were not formatting the event list correctly.

• Let RunningSupervisor wait (infinitely) long when reloading if the supervisorctl command returns ‘SHUTDOWN_STATE’. This supports large installations with many services more gracefully but might get stuck.

• Fix supervisor’s Nagios check: I removed the bin/py custom interpreter and didn’t notice it was used by the check. Put it back.

0.2 (2013-04-18)

• Lots of stuff that went on unreleased for way too long. Producing a release to allow people to stop running from trunk.

• Buildout component: Allow custom buildout.cfg names and pass the name to bootstrap.

• Improve SSH connection error logging: more readable now and hosts are identifiable. (#12093)

• Do not automatically add missing SSH host keys any longer. (#11606)

• Use python version specific virtualenv, if availble. This helps with ancient Python 2.4 components. For specific virtualenv versions no explicit python executable is passed.

• Internalize download hash handling using hashlib. Allow selection of hash function. (Thanks to Christine Koppelt.)

• Introduce new component modelling approach.

• Start writing documentation.

• Improve error message when download fails due to checksum mismatch.
