Salt 0.10.4 Release Notes
=========================
The latest taste of Salt has come. This release has many fixes and feature
additions. Modifications have been made to make ZeroMQ connections more
reliable, the begining of the ACL system is in place, a new command line
parsing system has been added, dynamic module distribution has become more
environment aware, the new `master_finger` option and many more!
Salt 0.10.4 is a monumental release for the Salt team, with two new module
systems, many additions to allow granular access to Salt, improved platform
support and much more.
This release is also exciting because we have been able to shorten the release
cycle back to under a month. We are working hard to keep up the aggressive pace
and look forward to having releases happen more frequently!
This release also includes a serious security fix and all users are very
strongly recommended to upgrade. As usual, upgrade the master first, and then
the minion to ensure that the process is smooth.

Target by Network
-----------------
A new matcher has been added to the system which allows for minions to be
targeted by network. This new matcher can be called with the `-S` flag on the
command line and is available in all places that the matcher system is
available. Using it is simple:
.. code-block:: bash
$ salt -S '192.168.1.0/24' test.ping
$ salt -S '192.168.1.100' test.ping
Nodegroup Nesting
-----------------
Previously a nodegroup was limited by not being able to include another
nodegroup, this restraint has been lifted and now nodegroups will be expanded
within other nodegroups with the `N@` classifier.
