-Version 2.6.0 beta1
--------------------
+Version 2.6.2
+-------------
+
+*(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
+ create (issue 291).
+- The ``--submit`` option is now supported by ``gnt-debug delay``.
+- Shutting down the master daemon by sending SIGTERM now stops it from
+ 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 (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.
+
+
+Version 2.6.1
+-------------
+
+*(Released Fri, 12 Oct 2012)*
+
+A small bugfix release. Among the bugs fixed:
+
+- Fixed double use of ``PRIORITY_OPT`` in ``gnt-node migrate``, that
+ made the command unusable.
+- Commands that issue many jobs don't fail anymore just because some jobs
+ take so long that other jobs are archived.
+- Failures during ``gnt-instance reinstall`` are reflected by the exit
+ status.
+- Issue 190 fixed. Check for DRBD in cluster verify is enabled only when
+ DRBD is enabled.
+- When ``always_failover`` is set, ``--allow-failover`` is not required
+ in migrate commands anymore.
+- ``bash_completion`` works even if extglob is disabled.
+- Fixed bug with locks that made failover for RDB-based instances fail.
+- Fixed bug in non-mirrored instance allocation that made Ganeti choose
+ a random node instead of one based on the allocator metric.
+- Support for newer versions of pylint and pep8.
+- Hail doesn't fail anymore when trying to add an instance of type
+ ``file``, ``sharedfile`` or ``rbd``.
+- Added new Makefile target to rebuild the whole distribution, so that
+ all files are included.
+
+
+Version 2.6.0
+-------------
+
+*(Released Fri, 27 Jul 2012)*
+
+
+.. attention:: The ``LUXI`` protocol has been made more consistent
+ regarding its handling of command arguments. This, however, leads to
+ incompatibility issues with previous versions. Please ensure that you
+ restart Ganeti daemons soon after the upgrade, otherwise most
+ ``LUXI`` calls (job submission, setting/resetting the drain flag,
+ pausing/resuming the watcher, cancelling and archiving jobs, querying
+ the cluster configuration) will fail.
-*(Released Wed, 23 Mar 2011)*
New features
~~~~~~~~~~~~
welcome feedback on the Haskell version which might become the default
in future versions.
+If you want to use ``gnt-node list-drbd`` you need to have the Haskell
+daemon running. The Python version doesn't implement the new call.
+
User interface changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
more safe since two runs in absolute mode will be idempotent, and
sometimes it's also easier to specify the desired size directly.
+Also the handling of instances with regard to offline secondaries has
+been improved. Instance operations should not fail because one of it's
+secondary nodes is offline, even though it's safe to proceed.
+
+A new command ``list-drbd`` has been added to the ``gnt-node`` script to
+support debugging of DRBD issues on nodes. It provides a mapping of DRBD
+minors to instance name.
+
API changes
~~~~~~~~~~~
whether to still support Python 2.4 or move to Python 2.6 as minimum
required version.
+Support for Fedora has been slightly improved; the provided example
+init.d script should work better on it and the INSTALL file should
+document the needed dependencies.
+
Internal changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
import-export.
+Version 2.6.0 rc4
+-----------------
+
+*(Released Thu, 19 Jul 2012)*
+
+Very few changes from rc4 to the final release, only bugfixes:
+
+- integrated fixes from release 2.5.2 (fix general boot flag for KVM
+ instance, fix CDROM booting for KVM instances)
+- fixed node group modification of node parameters
+- fixed issue in LUClusterVerifyGroup with multi-group clusters
+- fixed generation of bash completion to ensure a stable ordering
+- fixed a few typos
+
+
+Version 2.6.0 rc3
+-----------------
+
+*(Released Fri, 13 Jul 2012)*
+
+Third release candidate for 2.6. The following changes were done from
+rc3 to rc4:
+
+- Fixed ``UpgradeConfig`` w.r.t. to disk parameters on disk objects.
+- Fixed an inconsistency in the LUXI protocol with the provided
+ arguments (NOT backwards compatible)
+- Fixed a bug with node groups ipolicy where ``min`` was greater than
+ the cluster ``std`` value
+- Implemented a new ``gnt-node list-drbd`` call to list DRBD minors for
+ easier instance debugging on nodes (requires ``hconfd`` to work)
+
+
+Version 2.6.0 rc2
+-----------------
+
+*(Released Tue, 03 Jul 2012)*
+
+Second release candidate for 2.6. The following changes were done from

+ master candidates
+- Fixed a RAPI regression on missing beparams/memory
+- Fixed redistribution of files on offline nodes
+- Added possibility to run activate-disks even though secondaries are
+ offline. With this change it relaxes also the strictness on some other
+ commands which use activate disks internally:
+ * ``gnt-instance start|reboot|rename|backup|export``
+- Made it possible to remove safely an instance if its secondaries are
+ offline
+- Made it possible to reinstall even though secondaries are offline
+
+
+Version 2.6.0 rc1

+
+
+Version 2.6.0 beta2
+-------------------
+

+- KVM live migration when using a custom keymap
+
+
+Version 2.5.2
+-------------
+
+*(Released Tue, 24 Jul 2012)*

+
+- fixed bash-isms in kvm-ifup, for compatibility with systems which use a
+ different default shell (e.g. Debian, Ubuntu)
+- fixed KVM startup and live migration with a custom keymap (fixes Issue
+ 243 and Debian bug #650664)
+- fixed compatibility with KVM versions that don't support multiple boot
+ devices (fixes Issue 230 and Debian bug #624256)
+
