Aneesh Agrawal ba63920874 Support states returning a list for ret['comment'] 
Some states are complicated and multiple subparts,
or maybe cross-call into __states__ if they manage subresources.
In these cases, they will have multiple comments.
Make this more ergonomic by supporting a list of strings as the
value for ret['comment'] in state returns and documenting this.
By joining comments on newlines, it is possible to combine
single-line and multi-line comments cleanly, as opposed to e.g. commas.

The driving impetus for this is some of the boto modules.
An update to the boto_sqs module is included as an example.

Add a check that outgoing state return data has the right shape,
and add a testcase as well.
Fix the NPM state tests and the saltmod runner & wheel state functions
to comply with the prescribed format.

====================================
Salt Release Notes - Codename Oxygen
====================================
Comparison Operators in Package Installation
--------------------------------------------
Salt now supports using comparison operators (e.g. ``>=1.2.3``) when installing
packages on minions which use :mod:`yum/dnf <salt.modules.yumpkg>` or :mod:`apt
<salt.modules.aptpkg>`. This is supported both in the :py:func:`pkg.installed
<salt.states.pkg.installed>` state and in the ``pkg.install`` remote execution
function.
:ref:`Master Tops <master-tops-system>` Changes
-----------------------------------------------
When both :ref:`Master Tops <master-tops-system>` and a :ref:`Top File
<states-top>` produce SLS matches for a given minion, the matches were being
merged in an unpredictable manner which did not preserve ordering. This has
been changed. The top file matches now execute in the expected order, followed
by any master tops matches that are not matched via a top file.
To make master tops matches execute first, followed by top file matches, set
the new :conf_minion:`master_tops_first` minion config option to ``True``.
LDAP via External Authentication Changes
----------------------------------------
In this release of Salt, if LDAP Bind Credentials are supplied, then
these credentials will be used for all LDAP access except the first
authentication when a job is submitted. The first authentication will
use the user's credentials as passed on the CLI. This behavior is to
accommodate certain two-factor authentication schemes where the authentication
token can only be used once.
In previous releases the bind credentials would only be used to determine
the LDAP user's existence and group membership. The user's LDAP credentials
were used from then on.
Stormpath External Authentication Removed
-----------------------------------------
Per Stormpath's announcement, their API will be shutting down on 8/17/2017 at
noon PST so the Stormpath external authentication module has been removed.

New NaCl Renderer
-----------------
A new renderer has been added for encrypted data.
New GitFS Features
------------------
Two new features which affect how GitFS maps branches/tags to fileserver
environments (i.e. ``saltenvs``) have been added:
1. It is now possible to completely turn off Salt's default mapping logic
(aside from the mapping of the ``base`` saltenv). This can be triggered
using the new :conf_master:`gitfs_disable_saltenv_mapping` config option.
.. note::
When this is disabled, only the ``base`` saltenv and any configured
using :ref:`per-saltenv configuration parameters
<gitfs-per-saltenv-config>` will be available.
2. The types of refs which Salt will use as saltenvs can now be controlled. In
previous releases, branches and tags were both mapped as environments, and
individual commit SHAs could be specified as saltenvs in states (and when
caching files using :py:func:`cp.cache_file <salt.modules.cp.cache_file>`).
Using the new :conf_master:`gitfs_ref_types` config option, the types of
refs which are used as saltenvs can be restricted. This makes it possible to
ignore all tags and use branches only, and also to keep SHAs from being made
available as saltenvs.
Salt Cloud Features
-------------------
Pre-Flight Commands
===================
Support has been added for specified "preflight commands" to run on a VM before
the deploy script is run. These must be defined as a list in a cloud configuration
file. For example:
.. code-block:: yaml
my-cloud-profile:
provider: linode-config
image: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
size: Linode 2048
preflight_cmds:
- whoami
- echo 'hello world!'
These commands will run in sequence **before** the bootstrap script is executed.
Newer PyWinRM Versions
----------------------
Versions of ``pywinrm>=0.2.1`` are finally able to disable validation of self
signed certificates. :ref:`Here<new-pywinrm>` for more information.
Solaris Logical Domains In Virtual Grain
----------------------------------------
Support has been added to the ``virtual`` grain for detecting Solaris LDOMs
running on T-Series SPARC hardware. The ``virtual_subtype`` grain is
populated as a list of domain roles.
Lists of comments in state returns
----------------------------------
State functions can now return a list of strings for the ``comment`` field,
as opposed to only a single string.
This is meant to ease writing states with multiple or multi-part comments.
Beacon configuration changes
----------------------------------------
In order to remain consistent and to align with other Salt components such as states,
support for configuring beacons using dictionary based configuration has been deprecated
in favor of list based configuration. All beacons have a validation function which will
check the configuration for the correct format and only load if the validation passes.

---------------

pillar key, ``minion_blackout`` set to ``True`` and an optional pillar key
``minion_blackout_whitelist`` to specify additional functions that are permitted
during blackout. This release adds support for using this feature in the grains
as well, by using special grains keys ``minion_blackout`` and
``minion_blackout_whitelist``.
