Version 0.2.0 (Tue, 10 Nov 2009)

--------------------------------

A significant release, with a few new major features:

- Added direct execution of the hbal solution when using the Luxi

  backend; the steps for each instance moves are submitted as a single

  jobs, and the different jobs are submitted as groups in order to

  parallelise the execution of moves

- Added support for balancing based on dynamic utilisation data for

  instances, fed in via a text file; by default, all instances are

  considered equal and this change also improves the equalisation of

  secondary instances per node

- Added support for tiered capacity calculation in hspace, where we

  start from a maximum instance spec and decrease the spec when we run

  out of resources; this should give a better measure of available

  capacity on 'fragmented' clusters; this is done separately from the

  current fixed-mode computation

Also there have been many minor improvements:

- Added option for showing instances (“--print-instances”), similar to

  the print nodes option

- Added support for customising the node list via an argument to the

  print nodes option in the form of a comma-separated list of field

  names; currently the field names are not documented, expecting further

  changes in a next release

- Enhanced the error reporting in the Luxi and Rapi backends

- Changed the handling of drained nodes, now being treated the same as

  offline nodes, for Ganeti 2.0.4+ compatibility

- A number of internal changes, simplifying code and merging some

  disparate functions

- Simplify the build system in relation to creation of archives
