Version 1.2.3

  - more tweaks to the disk activation code (especially helpful for DRBD)

  - change the default ‘gnt-instance list’ output format, now there is

    one combined status field (see the manpage for the exact values this

    field will have)

  - some more fixes for the mac export to hooks change

  - make Ganeti not break with DRBD 8.2.x (which changed the version

    format in /proc/drbd) (issue 24)

  - add an upgrade tool from ‘remote_raid1’ disk template to ‘drbd’ disk

    template, allowing migration from DRBD0.7+MD to DRBD8

Version 1.2.2

  - fix ‘gnt-instance modify’ breakage introduced in 1.2.1 with the HVM

    support (issue 23)

  - add command aliases infrastructure and a few aliases

  - allow listing of VCPUs in the gnt-instance list and improve the man

    pages and the --help option of gnt-node/gnt-instance list

  - fix gnt-backup list with down nodes (issue 21)

  - change the tools location (move from $pkgdatadir to

    $pkglibdir/tools)

  - fix the dist archive and add a check for including svn/git files in

    the future

  - some developer-related changes: improve the burnin and the QA

    suite, add an upload script for testing during development

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
