-1.2b2:
- * Change configuration file format from Python's Pickle to JSON.
+Version 1.2.1
+ - experimental HVM support, read the install document, section
+ "Initializing the cluster"
+ - allow for the PVM hypervisor per-instance kernel and initrd paths
+ - add a new command ‘gnt-cluster verify-disks’ which uses a new
+ algorithm to improve the reconnection of the DRBD pairs if the
+ device on the secondary node has gone away
+ - make logical volume code auto-activate LVs at disk activation time
+ - slightly improve the speed of activating disks
+ - allow specification of the MAC address at instance creation time,
+ and changing it later via ‘gnt-instance modify’
+ - fix handling of external commands that generate lots of output on
+ stderr
+ - update documentation with regard to minimum version of DRBD8
+ supported
+
+Version 1.2.0
+ - Log the ‘xm create’ output to the node daemon log on failure (to
+ help diagnosing the error)
+ - In debug mode, log all external commands output if failed to the
+ logs
+ - Change parsing of lvm commands to ignore stderr
+
+Version 1.2b3
+ - Another round of updates to the DRBD 8 code to deal with more
+ failures in the replace secondary node operation
+ - Some more logging of failures in disk operations (lvm, drbd)
+ - A few documentation updates
+ - QA updates
+
+Version 1.2b2
+ - Change configuration file format from Python's Pickle to JSON.
Upgrading is possible using the cfgupgrade utility.
+ - Add support for DRBD 8.0 (new disk template `drbd`) which allows for
+ faster replace disks and is more stable (DRBD 8 has many
+ improvements compared to DRBD 0.7)
+ - Added command line tags support (see man pages for gnt-instance,
+ gnt-node, gnt-cluster)
+ - Added instance rename support
+ - Added multi-instance startup/shutdown
+ - Added cluster rename support
+ - Added `gnt-node evacuate` to simplify some node operations
+ - Added instance reboot operation that can speedup reboot as compared
+ to stop and start
+ - Soften the requirement that hostnames are in FQDN format
+ - The ganeti-watcher now activates drbd pairs after secondary node
+ reboots
+ - Removed dependency on debian's patched fping that uses the
+ non-standard -S option
+ - Now the OS definitions are searched for in multiple, configurable
+ paths (easier for distros to package)
+ - Some changes to the hooks infrastructure (especially the new
+ post-configuration update hook)
+ - Other small bugfixes
