Salt Release Notes - Codename Boron
===================================
2015-06-17 18:29:49 +00:00
Backwards-incompatible Changes
==============================
- The default path for the :conf_master:`extension_modules` master config
option has been changed. Prior to this release, the location was a directory
named ``extmods`` in the Salt cachedir. On most platforms, this would put the
:conf_master:`extension_modules` directory in ``/var/cache/salt/extmods``.
It has been moved one directory down, into the master cachedir. On most
platforms, this is ``/var/cache/salt/master/extmods``.

Core Changes
============
- The onchanges requisite now fires if _any_ watched state changes. Refs #19592.
- The ``ext_pillar`` functions **must** now accept a minion ID as the first
argument. This stops the deprecation path started in Salt 0.17.x. Before this
minion ID first argument was introduced, the minion ID could be retrieved
accessing ``__opts__['id']`` loosing the reference to the master ID initially
set in opts. This is no longer the case, ``__opts__['id']`` will be kept as
the master ID.
- Custom types can now be synced to the master using the new :mod:`saltutil
runner <salt.runners.saltutil>`. Before, these needed to manually be placed
under the :conf_master:`extension_modules` directory. This allows custom
modules to easily be synced to the master to make them available when
compiling Pillar data. Just place custom runners into ``salt://_runners``,
custom outputters into ``salt://_output``, etc. and use the functions from
the :mod:`saltutil runner <salt.runners.saltutil>` to sync them.
Cloud Changes
=============
- Refactored the OpenNebula driver and added numerous ``--function``s and
``--action``s to enhance Salt support for image, template, security group,
virtual network and virtual machine management in OpenNebula.
