Recent releases


Release Notes: There are many bugfixes.


Release Notes: The main issues solved are on the topic of compatibility with newer LVM releases: fixed parsing of the "lv_attr" field, and adapted to new "vgreduce --removemissing" behaviour where sometimes the "--force" flag is needed. Also on the topic of compatibility, "tools/lvmstrap" has been changed to accept kernel 3.x too (was hard-coded to 2.6.*). A regression present in 2.5.0 that broke handling (in the gnt-* scripts) of hook results and that also made display of other errors suboptimal was fixed; the code behaves now like 2.4 and earlier.


Release Notes: Many bugs were fixed regarding KVM, DRBD, job-queue, bash-completion, and more. A few minor ehancements were made, such as no-remember mode to start or stop an instance and OS search path display. The usual documentation improvements were done.


Release Notes: For impexpd, OpenSSL compression is disable in socat if possible. The unittest coverage report was changed to exclude test scripts. A script to check version format was added.


Release Notes: Many bugfixes and documentation updates. Extended RAPI. Additional OS parameters are supported. Instance import/export has been switched from SSH to SSL. The internal RPC mechanism between Ganeti nodes has changed from using a home-grown HTTP library (based on the Python base libraries) to use the PycURL library. Support for intra-cluster instance moves was added.
