  2. salt-api 0.5.0
  3. ==============
  4. :program:`salt-api` is gearing up for the initial public release with 0.5.0.
  5. Although this release ships with working basic functionality it is awaiting the
  6. authentication backend that will be introduced in Salt 0.10.4 before it can be
  7. considered ready for testing at large.
  8. REST API
  9. ========
  10. This release presents the flagship netapi module which provides a RESTful
  11. interface to a running Salt system. It allows for viewing minions, runners, and
  12. jobs as well as running execution modules and runners of a running Salt system
  13. through a REST API that returns JSON.
  14. Participation
  15. =============
  16. :program:`salt-api` is just getting off the ground so feedback, questions, and
  17. ideas are critical as we solidify how this project fits into the overall Salt
  18. infrastructure management stack. Please get involved by `filing issues`__ on
  19. GitHub, `discussing on the mailing list`__, and chatting in ``#salt`` on
  20. Freenode.
