Jack Kuan has added a substantial new feature. The render pipes system allows

The Salt Key system was originally developed as only a cli interface, but as

Salt Call Enhancements

The ``salt-call`` command has been updated in a few ways. Now, ``salt-call``
can take the --return option to send the data to a returner. Also,
``salt-call`` now reports executions in the minion proc system, this
allows the master to be aware of the operation salt-call is running.
