- ========================
- Salt 0.9.2 Release Notes
- ========================
- :release: 2011-09-17
- Salt 0.9.2 has arrived! 0.9.2 is primarily a bugfix release, the exciting
- component in 0.9.2 is greatly improved support for salt states. All of the
- salt states interfaces have been more thoroughly tested and the new salt-states
- git repo is growing with example of how to use states.
- This release introduces salt states for early developers and testers to start
- helping us clean up the states interface and make it ready for the world!
- 0.9.2 also fixes a number of bugs found on Python 2.6.
- Download!
- ---------
- The Salt source can be downloaded from PyPI:
- https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/salt/salt-0.9.2.tar.gz
- For instructions on how to set up Salt please see the :ref:`installation`
- instructions.
- New Features
- ------------
- Salt-Call Additions
- ````````````````````
- The salt-call command has received an overhaul, it now hooks into the outputter
- system so command output looks clean, and the logging system has been hooked
- into salt-call, so the -l option allows the logging output from salt minion
- functions to be displayed.
- The end result is that the salt-call command can execute the state system and
- return clean output:
- .. code-block:: bash
- # salt-call state.highstate
- State System Fixes
- ```````````````````
- The state system has been tested and better refined. As of this release the
- state system is ready for early testers to start playing with. If you are
- interested in working with the state system please check out the (still very
- small) salt-states GitHub repo:
- https://github.com/saltstack/salt-states
- This git repo is the active development branch for determining how a clean
- salt-state database should look and act. Since the salt state system is still
- very young a lot of help is still needed here. Please fork the salt-states
- repo and help us develop a truly large and scalable system for configuration
- management!
- Notable Bug Fixes
- -----------------
- Python 2.6 String Formatting
- ````````````````````````````
- Python 2.6 does not support format strings without an index identifier, all of
- them have been repaired.
- Cython Loading Disabled by Default
- ``````````````````````````````````
- Cython loading requires a development tool chain to be installed on the minion,
- requiring this by default can cause problems for most Salt deployments. If
- Cython auto loading is desired it will need to be turned on in the minion
- config.
