*(unreleased)*
-- DRBD 8.4 support. Depending on the installed DRBD version, Ganeti now uses
- the correct command syntax. It is possible to use different DRBD versions
- on different nodes as long as they are compatible to each other. This
- enables rolling upgrades of DRBD with no downtime. As permanent operation
- of different DRBD versions within a node group is discouraged,
- ``gnt-cluster verify`` will emit a warning if it detects such a situation.
+Incompatible/important changes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
- hroller now also plans for capacity to move non-redundant instances off
any node to be rebooted; the old behavior of completely ignoring any
non-redundant instances can be restored by adding the --ignore-non-redundant
- On instance creation, disk templates no longer need to be specified
with '-t'. The default disk template will be taken from the list of
enabled disk templates.
+- The monitoring daemon is now running as root, in order to be able to collect
+ information only available to root (such as the state of Xen instances).
+- The ConfD client is now IPv6 compatible.
+- File and shared file storage is no longer dis/enabled at configure time,
+ but using the option '--enabled-disk-templates' at cluster initialization and
+ modification.
+- The default directories for file and shared file storage are not anymore
+ specified at configure time, but taken from the cluster's configuration.
+ They can be set at cluster initialization and modification with
+ '--file-storage-dir' and '--shared-file-storage-dir'.
+- Cluster verification now includes stricter checks regarding the
+ default file and shared file storage directories. It now checks that
+ the directories are explicitely allowed in the 'file-storage-paths' file and
+ that the directories exist on all nodes.
+- The list of allowed disk templates in the instance policy and the list
+ of cluster-wide enabled disk templates is now checked for consistency
+ on cluster or group modification. On cluster initialization, the ipolicy
+ disk templates are ensured to be a subset of the cluster-wide enabled
+ disk templates.

-Version 2.8.0 beta1
--------------------
+- DRBD 8.4 support. Depending on the installed DRBD version, Ganeti now uses
+ the correct command syntax. It is possible to use different DRBD versions
+ on different nodes as long as they are compatible to each other. This
+ enables rolling upgrades of DRBD with no downtime. As permanent operation
+ of different DRBD versions within a node group is discouraged,
+ ``gnt-cluster verify`` will emit a warning if it detects such a situation.
+- New "inst-status-xen" data collector for the monitoring daemon, providing
+ information about the state of the xen instances on the nodes.
+- New "lv" data collector for the monitoring daemon, collecting data about the
+ logical volumes on the nodes, and pairing them with the name of the instances
+ they belong to.
+- New "diskstats" data collector, collecting the data from /proc/diskstats and
+ presenting them over the monitoring daemon interface.
+- The ConfD client is now IPv6 compatible.
-*(Released Mon, 24 Jun 2013)*
+New dependencies
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The following new dependencies have been added.
+
+Python
+
+- ``python-mock`` (http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/mock/) is now a required
+ for the unit tests (and only used for testing).
+
+
+Version 2.8.0 rc1
+-----------------
+
+*(Released Fri, 2 Aug 2013)*
Incompatible/important changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- hail now honors network restrictions when allocating nodes. This led to an
update of the IAllocator protocol. See the IAllocator documentation for
details.
+- confd now only answers static configuration request over the network. luxid
+ was extracted, listens on the local LUXI socket and responds to live queries.
+ This allows finer grained permissions if using separate users.
New features
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- New command ``show-ispecs-cmd`` for ``gnt-cluster`` and ``gnt-group``.
It prints the command line to set the current policies, to ease
changing them.
+- Add the ``vnet_hdr`` HV parameter for KVM, to control whether the tap
+ devices for KVM virtio-net interfaces will get created with VNET_HDR
+ (IFF_VNET_HDR) support. If set to false, it disables offloading on the
+ virtio-net interfaces, which prevents host kernel tainting and log
+ flooding, when dealing with broken or malicious virtio-net drivers.
+ It's set to true by default.
+- Instance failover now supports a ``--cleanup`` parameter for fixing previous
+ failures.
New dependencies
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The minimum Python version needed to run Ganeti is now 2.6.
- ``yaml`` library (only for running the QA).
+Since 2.8.0 beta1
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Fix upgrading/downgrading from 2.7
+- Increase maximum RAPI message size
+- Documentation updates
+- Split ``confd`` between ``luxid`` and ``confd``
+- Merge 2.7 series up to the 2.7.1 release
+- Allow the ``modify_etc_hosts`` option to be changed
+- Add better debugging for ``luxid`` queries
+- Expose bulk parameter for GetJobs in RAPI client
+- Expose missing ``network`` fields in RAPI
+- Add some ``cluster verify`` tests
+- Some unittest fixes
+- Fix a malfunction in ``hspace``'s tiered allocation
+- Fix query compatibility between haskell and python implementations
+- Add the ``vnet_hdr`` HV parameter for KVM
+- Add ``--cleanup`` to instance failover
+- Change the connected groups format in ``gnt-network info`` output; it
+ was previously displayed as a raw list by mistake. (Merged from 2.7)
