These dates were pulled out of the Git commit for the tag (with a Vim macro). I didn't go back before we started tagging releases with annotated tags since that would take some mailing list archaeology. Also there might be a couple instances where the tag came plus or minus a day or two from the announcement. Closes #9426

Salt 0.13.0 Release Notes
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
:release: 2013-02-12
|
|
|
|
The lucky number 13 has turned the corner! From CLI notifications when quitting
|
|
a salt command, to substantial improvements on Windows, Salt 0.13.0 has
|
|
arrived!
|
|
|
|
Major Features
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
Improved file.recurse Performance
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The file.recurse system has been deployed and used in a vast array of
|
|
situations. Fixes to the file state and module have led towards opening up
|
|
new ways of running file.recurse to make it faster. Now the file.recurse
|
|
state will download fewer files and will run substantially faster.
|
|
|
|
Windows Improvements
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Minion stability on Windows has improved. Many file operations, including
|
|
file.recurse, have been fixed and improved. The network module works better, to
|
|
include network.interfaces. Both 32bit and 64bit installers are now available.
|
|
|
|
Nodegroup Targeting in Peer System
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
In the past, nodegroups were not available for targeting via the peer system.
|
|
This has been fixed, allowing the new nodegroup expr_form argument for the
|
|
publish.publish function:
|
|
|
|
salt-call publish.publish group1 test.ping expr_form=nodegroup
|
|
|
|
Blacklist Additions
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Additions allowing more granular blacklisting are available in 0.13.0. The
|
|
ability to blacklist users and functions in client_acl have been added, as
|
|
well as the ability to exclude state formulas from the command line.
|
|
|
|
Command Line Pillar Embedding
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
Pillar data can now be embedded on the command line when calling ``state.sls``
|
|
and ``state.highstate``. This allows for on the fly changes or settings to
|
|
pillar and makes parameterizing state formulas even easier. This is done via
|
|
the keyword argument:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
salt '*' state.highstate pillar='{"cheese": "spam"}'
|
|
|
|
The above example will extend the existing pillar to hold the ``cheese`` key
|
|
with a value of ``spam``. If the ``cheese`` key is already specified in the
|
|
minion's pillar then it will be overwritten.
|
|
|
|
CLI Notifications
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
In the past hitting ctrl-C and quitting from the ``salt`` command would just
|
|
drop to a shell prompt, this caused confusion with users who expected the
|
|
remote executions to also quit. Now a message is displayed showing what
|
|
command can be used to track the execution and what the job id is for the
|
|
execution.
|
|
|
|
Version Specification in Multiple-Package States
|
|
------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Versions can now be specified within multiple-package :mod:`pkg.installed
|
|
<salt.states.pkg.installed>` states. An example can be found below:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
mypkgs:
|
|
pkg.installed:
|
|
- pkgs:
|
|
- foo
|
|
- bar: 1.2.3-4
|
|
- baz
|
|
|
|
Noteworthy Changes
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
The configuration subsystem in Salt has been overhauled to make the ``opts``
|
|
dict used by Salt applications more portable, the problem is that this is an
|
|
incompatible change with salt-cloud, and salt-cloud will need to be updated
|
|
to the latest git to work with Salt 0.13.0. Salt Cloud 0.8.5 will also require
|
|
Salt 0.13.0 or later to function.
|
|
|
|
The SaltStack team is sorry for the inconvenience here, we work hard to make
|
|
sure these sorts of things do not happen, but sometimes hard changes get in.
