|
|
|

|
|
|
|
- Extended and cleaned configuration
|
|
|
|
|

|
0.7.0 Fixes the following major bugs:
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
- Repair communication bugs in encryption
|
|
|
|
|
- Numerous fixes in the minion modules
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The next release of Salt should see the following features:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Stabilize the cluster support
|
|
|
|
|
- Introduce a remote client for salt command tiers
|
|
|
|
|
- salt-ftp system for distributed file copies
|
|
|
|
|
- Initial support for "butter"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Coming up next is a higher level management framework for salt called
|
|
|
|
|
Butter. I want salt to stay as a simple and effective communication
|
|
|
|
|
framework, and allow for more complicated executions to be managed via
|
|
|
|
|
Butter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Right now Butter is being developed to act as a cloud controller using salt
|
|
|
|
|
as the communication layer, but features like system monitoring and advanced
|
|
|
|
|
configuration control (a puppet manager) are also in the pipe.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Special thanks to Joseph Hall for the status and network modules, and thanks
|
|
|
|
|
to Matthias Teege for tracking down some configuration bugs!
