- ========================
- Salt 0.7.0 release notes
- ========================
- I am pleased to announce the release of Salt 0.7.0!
- This release marks what is the first stable release of salt, 0.7.0 should be
- suitable for general use.
- 0.7.0 Brings the following new features to Salt:
- - Integration with Facter data from puppet labs
- - Allow for matching minions from the salt client via Facter information
- - Minion job threading, many jobs can be executed from the master at once
- - Preview of master clustering support - Still experimental
- - Introduce new minion modules for stats, virtualization, service management and more
- - Add extensive logging to the master and minion daemons
- - Add sys.reload_functions for dynamic function reloading
- - Greatly improve authentication
- - Introduce the saltkey command for managing public keys
- - Begin backend development preparatory to introducing butter
- - Addition of man pages for the core commands
- - Extended and cleaned configuration
- 0.7.0 Fixes the following major bugs:
- - Fix crash in minions when matching failed
- - Fix configuration file lookups for the local client
- - Repair communication bugs in encryption
- - Numerous fixes in the minion modules
- The next release of Salt should see the following features:
- - Stabilize the cluster support
- - Introduce a remote client for salt command tiers
- - salt-ftp system for distributed file copies
- - Initial support for "butter"
- Coming up next is a higher level management framework for salt called
- Butter. I want salt to stay as a simple and effective communication
- framework, and allow for more complicated executions to be managed via
- Butter.
- Right now Butter is being developed to act as a cloud controller using salt
- as the communication layer, but features like system monitoring and advanced
- configuration control (a puppet manager) are also in the pipe.
- Special thanks to Joseph Hall for the status and network modules, and thanks
- to Matthias Teege for tracking down some configuration bugs!
- Salt can be downloaded from the following locations;
- Arch Linux Package:
