Salt 2014.7.2 Release Notes
===========================

:release: 2015-02-09

Version 2014.7.2 is a bugfix release for :ref:`2014.7.0 <release-2014-7-0>`.

The changes include:

- Fix erroneous warnings for systemd service enabled check (:issue:`19606`)
- Fix FreeBSD kernel module loading, listing, and persistence
  :mod:`kmod <salt.modules.freebsdkmod>` (:issue:`197151`, :issue:`19682`)
- Allow case-sensitive npm package names in the :py:mod:`npm state
  <salt.states.npm>`.  This may break behavior for people expecting the state
  to lowercase their npm package names for them.  The :py:mod:`npm module
  <salt.modules.npm>` was never affected by mandatory lowercasing.
  (:issue:`20329`)
- Deprecate the ``activate`` parameter for pip.install for both the
  :py:mod:`module <salt.modules.pip>` and the :py:mod:`state <salt.state.pip>`.
  If ``bin_env`` is given and points to a virtualenv, there is no need to
  activate that virtualenv in a shell for pip to install to the virtualenv.
- Fix a file-locking bug in gitfs (:issue:`18839`)
- Deprecated ``archive_user`` in favor of standardized ``user`` parameter in
  :py:mod:`state <salt.state.archive>` and added ``group`` parameter.
