-Version 2.10.0 alpha1
----------------------
+Version 2.10.0 rc1
+------------------
-*(unreleased)*
+*(Released Tue, 17 Dec 2013)*
Incompatible/important changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the module 'ganeti' is no longer in the python search path.
- On instance allocation, the iallocator now considers non-LVM storage
properly. In particular, actual file storage space information is used
- when allocating space for a file/sharedfile instance.
+ when allocating space for a file/sharedfile instance.
+- When disabling disk templates cluster-wide, the cluster now first
+ checks whether there are instances still using those templates.
+- 'gnt-node list-storage' now also reports storage information about
+ file-based storage types.
+- In case of non drbd instances, export \*_SECONDARY environment variables
+ as empty strings (and not "None") during 'instance-migrate' related hooks.
New features
~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
- KVM hypervisors can now access RBD storage directly without having to
go through a block device.
+- A new command 'gnt-cluster upgrade' was added that automates the upgrade
+ procedure between two Ganeti versions that are both 2.10 or higher.
+- The move-instance command can now change disk templates when moving
+ instances, and does not require any node placement options to be
+ specified if the destination cluster has a default iallocator.
+- Users can now change the soundhw and cpuid settings for XEN hypervisors.
+- Hail and hbal now have the (optional) capability of accessing average CPU
+ load information through the monitoring deamon, and to use it to dynamically
+ adapt the allocation of instances.
+- Hotplug support. Introduce new option '--hotplug' to ``gnt-instance modify``
+ so that disk and NIC modifications take effect without the need of actual
+ reboot. There are a couple of constrains currently for this feature:
+
+ - only KVM hypervisor (versions >= 1.0) supports it,
+ - one can not (yet) hotplug a disk using userspace access mode for RBD
+ - in case of a downgrade instances should suffer a reboot in order to
+ be migratable (due to core change of runtime files)
+Misc changes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Version 2.9.0 rc1
------------------
+- A new test framework for logical units was introduced and the test
+ coverage for logical units was improved significantly.
+- Opcodes are entirely generated from Haskell using the tool 'hs2py' and
+ the module 'src/Ganeti/OpCodes.hs'.
+- Constants are also generated from Haskell using the tool
+ 'hs2py-constants' and the module 'src/Ganeti/Constants.hs', with the
+ exception of socket related constants, which require changing the
+ cluster configuration file, and HVS related constants, because they
+ are part of a port of instance queries to Haskell. As a result, these
+ changes will be part of the next release of Ganeti.

+New dependencies
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following new dependencies have been added/updated.
+
+Python
+
+- The version requirements for ``python-mock`` have increased to at least
+ version 1.0.1. It is still used for testing only.
+
+Since 2.10.0 beta1
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- All known issues in 2.10.0 beta1 have been resolved (see changes from
+ the 2.8 branch).
+- Improve handling of KVM runtime files from earlier Ganeti versions
+- Documentation fixes
+
+Inherited from the 2.9 branch:
+
+- use custom KVM path if set for version checking
+- SingleNotifyPipeCondition: don't share pollers
+
+Inherited from the 2.8 branch:
+
+- Fixed Luxi daemon socket permissions after master-failover
+- Improve IP version detection code directly checking for colons rather than
+ passing the family from the cluster object

+ opportunistically anymore (Issue 622)
+- Allow link local IPv6 gateways (Issue 624)
+- Fix error printing (Issue 616)
+- Fix a bug in InstanceSetParams concerning names: in case no name is passed in
+ disk modifications, keep the old one. If name=none then set disk name to
+ None.
+- Update build_chroot script to work with the latest hackage packages
+- Add a packet number limit to "fping" in master-ip-setup (Issue 630)
+- Fix evacuation out of drained node (Issue 615)

+- SetDiskID() before accepting an instance (Issue 633)
+- Allow the ext template disks to receive arbitrary parameters, both at creation
+ time and while being modified
+- Xen handle domain shutdown (future proofing cherry-pick)
+- Refactor reading live data in htools (future proofing cherry-pick)
