*(unreleased)*
-- Deprecated ``admin_up`` field. Instead, ``admin_state`` is introduced,
- with 3 possible values -- ``up``, ``down`` and ``offline``.
+- Deprecated ``admin_up`` instance field. Instead, ``admin_state`` is
+ introduced, with 3 possible values -- ``up``, ``down`` and
+ ``offline``.
+- Replaced ``--disks`` option of ``gnt-instance replace-disks`` with a
+ more flexible ``--disk`` option. Now disk size and mode can be changed
+ upon recreation.
+- Removed deprecated ``QueryLocks`` LUXI request. Use
+ ``Query(what=QR_LOCK, ...)`` instead.
+- The LUXI requests :pyeval:`luxi.REQ_QUERY_JOBS`,
+ :pyeval:`luxi.REQ_QUERY_INSTANCES`, :pyeval:`luxi.REQ_QUERY_NODES`,
+ :pyeval:`luxi.REQ_QUERY_GROUPS`, :pyeval:`luxi.REQ_QUERY_EXPORTS` and
+ :pyeval:`luxi.REQ_QUERY_TAGS` are deprecated and will be removed in a
+ future version. :pyeval:`luxi.REQ_QUERY` should be used instead.
+- RAPI client: ``CertificateError`` now derives from ``GanetiApiError``
+- Deprecation warnings due to PyCrypto/paramiko import in
+ ``tools/setup-ssh`` have been silenced, as usually they are safe;
+ please make sure to run an up-to-date paramiko version
+- The QA scripts now depend on Python 2.5 or above
+
+
+Version 2.5.1
+-------------
+*(Released Fri, 11 May 2012)*
-Version 2.5.0 rc5
------------------
+A small bugfix release.
-*(unreleased)*
+The main issues solved are on the topic of compatibility with newer LVM
+releases:
-Improvements and bugfixes
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+- fixed parsing of ``lv_attr`` field
+- adapted to new ``vgreduce --removemissing`` behaviour where sometimes
+ the ``--force`` flag is needed
-- Support for kvm version 1.0, that changed the version reporting format
- (from 3 to 2 digits).
+Also on the topic of compatibility, ``tools/lvmstrap`` has been changed
+to accept kernel 3.x too (was hardcoded to 2.6.*).
+A regression present in 2.5.0 that broke handling (in the gnt-* scripts)
+of hook results and that also made display of other errors suboptimal
+was fixed; the code behaves now like 2.4 and earlier.
-Version 2.5.0 rc4
------------------
+Another change in 2.5, the cleanup of the OS scripts environment, is too
+aggressive: it removed even the ``PATH`` variable, which requires the OS
+scripts to *always* need to export it. Since this is a bit too strict,
+we now export a minimal PATH, the same that we export for hooks.
-*(Released Thu, 27 Oct 2011)*
+The fix for issue 201 (Preserve bridge MTU in KVM ifup script) was
+integrated into this release.
+
+Finally, a few other miscellaneous changes were done (no new features,
+just small improvements):
+
+- Fix ``gnt-group --help`` display
+- Fix hardcoded Xen kernel path
+- Fix grow-disk handling of invalid units
+- Update synopsis for ``gnt-cluster repair-disk-sizes``
+- Accept both PUT and POST in noded (makes future upgrade to 2.6 easier)
+
