- ========================
- Salt 0.9.6 Release Notes
- ========================
- :release: 2012-01-21
- Salt 0.9.6 is a release targeting a few bugs and changes. This is primarily
- targeting an issue found in the names declaration in the state system. But a
- few other bugs were also repaired, like missing support for grains in extmods.
- Due to a conflict in distribution packaging msgpack will no longer be bundled
- with Salt, and is required as a dependency.
- New Features
- ============
- HTTP and ftp support in files.managed
- -------------------------------------
- Now under the source option in the file.managed state a HTTP or ftp address
- can be used instead of a file located on the salt master.
- Allow Multiple Returners
- ------------------------
- Now the returner interface can define multiple returners, and will also return
- data back to the master, making the process less ambiguous.
- Minion Memory Improvements
- --------------------------
- A number of modules have been taken out of the minion if the underlying
- systems required by said modules are not present on the minion system.
- A number of other modules need to be stripped out in this same way which
- should continue to make the minion more efficient.
- Minions Can Locally Cache Return Data
- -------------------------------------
- A new option, cache_jobs, has been added to the minion to allow for all of the
- historically run jobs to cache on the minion, allowing for looking up historic
- returns. By default cache_jobs is set to False.
- Pure Python Template Support For file.managed
- ---------------------------------------------
- Templates in the file.managed state can now be defined in a Python script.
- This script needs to have a run function that returns the string that needs to
- be in the named file.
