Running States Without a Master
-------------------------------
The addition of running states without a salt-master running has been added
to 0.9.8. This feature allows for the unmodified salt state tree to be
read locally from a minion. The result is that the UNMODIFIED state tree
has just become portable, allowing minions to have a local copy of states
or to manage states without a master entirely.
This is accomp[lished via the new file client interface in Salt that allows
for the ``salt://`` uri to be redirected to custom interfaces. This means that
there are now two interfaces for the salt file server, calling the master
or looking in a local, minion defined ``file_roots``.
This new feature can be used by modifying the minion config to point to a
local ``file_roots`` and setting the ``file_client`` option to ``local``.

New File Client

This will eventually allow for running salt's configuration management via
``salt-call state.highstate`` to run without a salt-minion daemon running.
