|
|
|
:program:`salt-api` 0.8.3 is a small release largely concerning changes and
|
2014-06-19 02:54:47 +00:00
|
|
|
fixes to the :py:mod:`rest_cherrypy <salt.netapi.rest_cherrypy.app>` netapi
|
2013-10-29 06:12:20 +00:00
|
|
|
module.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This release will likely be the final salt-api release as a separate project.
|
|
|
|
|
The Salt team has begun the process of merging this project directly in to the
|
|
|
|
|
main Salt project. What this means for end users is only that there will be one
|
|
|
|
|
fewer package to install. Salt itself will ship with the current ``netapi``
|
|
|
|
|
modules and the API and configuration will remain otherwise unchanged.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The reasoning behind merging the two projects is simply to lower the barrier to
|
|
|
|
|
entry. Having a separate project was useful for experimentation and exploration
|
|
|
|
|
but there was no technical reason for the separation -- salt-api uses the same
|
|
|
|
|
flexible module system that Salt uses and those modules will simply be moved
|
|
|
|
|
into Salt.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Going forward, Salt will ship with the same REST interface that salt-api
|
|
|
|
|
currently provides. This will have the side benefit of not having to coordinate
|
|
|
|
|
incompatible Salt and salt-api releases.

==================================================================
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An HTTP stream of Salt's event bus has been added. This stream conforms to the
|
|
|
|
|
SSE (Server Sent Events) spec and is easily consumed via JavaScript clients.
|
|
|
|
|
This HTTP stream allows a real-time window into a running Salt system. A client
|
|
|
|
|
watching the stream can see as soon as individual minions return data for a
|
|
|
|
|
job, authentication events, and any other events that go through the Salt
|
|
|
|
|
master.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A new configuration option to only allow access to whitelisted IP addresses. Of
|
|
|
|
|
course, IP addresses can be easily spoofed so this feature should be thought of
|
|
|
|
|
as a usability addition and not used for security purposes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An option to disable SSL has been added. Previously SSL could only be disabled
|
|
|
|
|
while running the HTTP server with debugging options enabled. Now each item can
|
|
|
|
|
be enabled or disabled independently of the other.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition, there has been several bug fixes, packaging fixes, and minor code
|
|
|
|
|
simplification.
