Salt Release Notes - Codename Beryllium
=======================================
Core Changes
============
- Add system version info to ``versions_report``, which appears in both ``salt
--versions-report`` and ``salt '*' test.versions_report``. Also added is an
alias ``test.versions`` to ``test.versions_report``. (:issue:`21906`)
- Add colorized console logging support. This is activated by using
``%(colorlevel)s``, ``%(colorname)s``, ``%(colorprocess)s``, ``%(colormsg)s``
in ``log_fmt_console`` in the config file for any of ``salt-master``,
``salt-minion``, and ``salt-cloud``.
Salt Cloud Changes
==================
- Modified the Linode Salt Cloud driver to use Linode's native API instead of
depending on apache-libcloud or linode-python.
- When querying for VMs in ``ditigal_ocean.py``, the number of VMs to include in
a page was changed from 20 (default) to 200 to reduce the number of API calls
to Digital Ocean.
JBoss 7 State
=============
Remove unused argument ``timeout`` in jboss7.status.
Pkgrepo State
=============
Deprecate ``enabled`` argument in ``pkgrepo.managed`` in favor of ``disabled``.
Archive Module
==============
In the ``archive.tar`` and ``archive.cmd_unzip`` module functions, remove the
arbitrary prefixing of the options string with ``-``. An options string
beginning with a ``--long-option``, would have uncharacteristically needed its
first ``-`` removed under the former scheme.
Also, tar will parse its options differently if short options are used with or
without a preceding ``-``, so it is better to not confuse the user into
thinking they're using the non- ``-`` format, when really they are using the
with- ``-`` format.
Win System Module
=================
The unit of the ``timeout`` parameter in the ``system.halt``,
``system.poweroff``, ``system.reboot``, and ``system.shutdown`` functions has
been changed from seconds to minutes in order to be consistent with the linux
timeout setting. (:issue:`24411`) Optionally, the unit can be reverted to
seconds by specifying ``in_seconds=True``.
Deprecations
============
- The ``digital_ocean.py`` Salt Cloud driver was removed in favor of the
``digital_ocean_v2.py`` driver as DigitalOcean has removed support for APIv1.
The ``digital_ocean_v2.py`` was renamed to ``digital_ocean.py`` and supports
DigitalOcean's APIv2.
- The ``vsphere.py`` Salt Cloud driver has been deprecated in favor of the
``vmware.py`` driver.
- The ``openstack.py`` Salt Cloud driver has been deprecated in favor of the
``nova.py`` driver.
- The use of ``provider`` in Salt Cloud provider files to define cloud drivers
has been deprecated in favor of useing ``driver``. Both terms will work until
the Nitrogen release of Salt. Example provider file:
.. code-block:: yaml
my-ec2-cloud-config:
id: 'HJGRYCILJLKJYG'
key: 'kdjgfsgm;woormgl/aserigjksjdhasdfgn'
private_key: /etc/salt/my_test_key.pem
keyname: my_test_key
securitygroup: default
driver: ec2
- The use of ``lock`` has been deprecated and from ``salt.utils.fopen``.
``salt.utils.flopen`` should be used instead.
- The following args have been deprecated from the ``rabbitmq_vhost.present``
state: ``user``, ``owner``, ``conf``, ``write``, ``read``, and ``runas``.
- The use of ``runas`` has been deprecated from the ``rabbitmq_vhost.absent``
state.
- Support for ``output`` in ``mine.get`` was removed. ``--out`` should be used
instead.
- The use of ``delim`` was removed from the following functions in the ``match``
execution module: ``pillar_pcre``, ``pillar``, ``grain_pcre``,
