Version 2.6.2
-------------
-*(unreleased)*
-
-Behaviour change: hbal won't rebalance anymore instances which have the
-'auto_balance' attribute set to false. This was the intention all along,
-but until now it only skipped those from the N+1 memory reservation
-(DRBD-specific).
-
-Besides that, a number of bugfixes:
-
-- Disk adoption interaction with ipolicy checks has been fixed.
-- Tap device's MAC prefix is now forcibly set to "fe" (issue 217).
-- Option to force master-failover without voting added (issue 282).
-- Removal of storage directory on shared file storage was fixed (issue
- 262).
-- Validation of LVM volume group name in OpClusterSetParams
- (``gnt-cluster modify``) was corrected (issue 285).
+*(Released Fri, 21 Dec 2012)*
+
+Important behaviour change: hbal won't rebalance anymore instances which
+have the ``auto_balance`` attribute set to false. This was the intention
+all along, but until now it only skipped those from the N+1 memory
+reservation (DRBD-specific).
+
+A significant number of bug fixes in this release:
+
+- Fixed disk adoption interaction with ipolicy checks.
+- Fixed networking issues when instances are started, stopped or
+ migrated, by forcing the tap device's MAC prefix to "fe" (issue 217).
+- Fixed the warning in cluster verify for shared storage instances not
+ being redundant.
+- Fixed removal of storage directory on shared file storage (issue 262).
+- Fixed validation of LVM volume group name in OpClusterSetParams
+ (``gnt-cluster modify``) (issue 285).
+- Fixed runtime memory increases (``gnt-instance modify -m``).
+- Fixed live migration under Xen's ``xl`` mode.
+- Fixed ``gnt-instance console`` with ``xl``.
+- Fixed building with newer Haskell compiler/libraries.
+- Fixed PID file writing in Haskell daemons (confd); this prevents
+ restart issues if confd was launched manually (outside of
+ ``daemon-util``) while another copy of it was running
+- Fixed a type error when doing live migrations with KVM (issue 297) and
+ the error messages for failing migrations have been improved.
+- Fixed opcode validation for the out-of-band commands (``gnt-node
+ power``).
+- Fixed a type error when unsetting OS hypervisor parameters (issue
+ 311); now it's possible to unset all OS-specific hypervisor
+ parameters.
+- Fixed the ``dry-run`` mode for many operations: verification of
+ results was over-zealous but didn't take into account the ``dry-run``
+ operation, resulting in "wrong" failures.
+- Fixed bash completion in ``gnt-job list`` when the job queue has
+ hundreds of entries; especially with older ``bash`` versions, this
+ results in significant CPU usage.
+
+And lastly, a few other improvements have been made:
+
+- Added option to force master-failover without voting (issue 282).
- Clarified error message on lock conflict (issue 287).
- Logging of newly submitted jobs has been improved (issue 290).
- Hostname checks have been made uniform between instance rename and
processing jobs waiting for locks; instead, those jobs will be started
once again after the master daemon is started the next time (issue
296).
-- Support for Xen's ``xl`` program has been improved.
-- A type error when doing live migrations with KVM has been fixed (issue
- 297) and error messages for failing migrations have been improved.
-- Another type error when unsetting OS parameters has been fixed (issue
- 311).
+- Support for Xen's ``xl`` program has been improved (besides the fixes
+ above).
+- Reduced logging noise in the Haskell confd daemon (only show one log
+ entry for each config reload, instead of two).
- Several man page updates and typo fixes.
