Synnefo-wide |
30 |
------------ |
31 |
|
32 |
* Create 'snf_django' Python package to hold common code for all Synnefo |
33 |
components. |
34 |
|
35 |
* Create a JSON-exportable definition document for each Synnefo Components |
36 |
(Astakos, Cyclades, Pithos, etc.) that consolidates APIs (services), |
37 |
resources, and other standardized properties (e.g. default URL prefixes). |
38 |
|
39 |
* Standardize URLs for Synnefo Components, impose structure and naming |
40 |
conventions to related settings. Make each component deployable under |
41 |
a user-configurable <COMPONENT>_BASE_URL. Each API (compute, image, etc.) |
42 |
is deployable under a developer-configurable prefix beneath BASE_URL. |
43 |
|
44 |
* Deprecate CLOUDBAR_ACTIVE_SERVICE setting from all apps. |
45 |
|
46 |
* Common synnefo 404/500 templates (located in snf-webproject) |
47 |
|
48 |
Astakos |
49 |
------- |
50 |
|
51 |
* Redesign of the accounting system (quotaholder) and integration into |
52 |
Astakos. |
53 |
|
54 |
* Simplified the quotaholder model; removed tables Entity and Policy; now |
55 |
table Holding contains limit and usage for every holding. |
56 |
* Extended table Holding, so that we can keep track of quota for every |
57 |
valid combination of holder (e.g. user), resource, and source (e.g. the |
58 |
default system or some specific project). |
59 |
* Refactored code for issuing and resolving commissions for robustness; |
60 |
added a 'force' option to bypass the upper limit check when issuing a |
61 |
commission. |
62 |
* Simplified syncing to the quotaholder; removed fields from models |
63 |
Project and ProjectMembership, previously needed for syncing; removed |
64 |
state PROJECT_DEACTIVATED from ProjectMembership. |
65 |
* Removed settings ASTAKOS_QUOTAHOLDER_URL, ASTAKOS_QUOTAHOLDER_TOKEN, |
66 |
and ASTAKOS_QUOTAHOLDER_POOLSIZE. |
67 |
|
68 |
* API-related changes: |
69 |
|
70 |
* Implemented API calls for quota, resources, and commissions. |
71 |
* Moved all API calls under '/account/v1.0'. |
72 |
* Implemented the keystone API call POST /tokens under '/identity/v2.0'. |
73 |
|
74 |
* Service and resource specification and handling: |
75 |
|
76 |
* Specified a format for defining services along with the API endpoints |
77 |
and the resources they expose. Migrated internal resource name by |
78 |
prefixing it with service name (e.g. 'vm' becomes 'cyclades.vm'); |
79 |
renamed registered service 'pithos+' to 'pithos'. |
80 |
* Specified a procedure to register a Synnefo component, its services and |
81 |
their resources in astakos and set the resources' default base quota |
82 |
limit. Removed resource definitions from settings. |
83 |
* Moved service and resource presentation data out of the respective db |
84 |
models into a separate file of UI constants. |
85 |
|
86 |
* Converted the limit on pending applications from a setting to a quotable |
87 |
resource. Converted the related user setting to a user-specific base quota |
88 |
limit. Deprecated model UserSetting; removed setting |
89 |
ASTAKOS_PENDING_APPLICATION_LIMIT. |
90 |
|
91 |
* Changes in locking strategy: |
92 |
|
93 |
* Lock only project's chain for all project operations; lock user before |
94 |
syncing to quotaholder. |
95 |
* When locking multiple rows (e.g. users or holdings) include an ORDER BY |
96 |
clause in the query to impose ordering on locking. |
97 |
|
98 |
* Changes in views: |
99 |
|
100 |
* Replaced custom transaction context with a simple decorator for managing |
101 |
transactions and a context 'ExceptionHandler', which logs and suppresses |
102 |
exceptions |
103 |
|
104 |
* Added fine grain user auth provider's policies. |
105 |
|
106 |
* Administrator can override default auth provider policies to a specific |
107 |
user or group of users. |
108 |
* Optionally a user can be assigned to a list of groups, based on the |
109 |
authentication method he choosed to signup. |
110 |
|
111 |
* Removed explicit handling of SMTP errors on each email delivery. Exceptions |
112 |
are now propagated to base django exception handler. |
113 |
|
114 |
* Email used in html/email tempaltes which prompt user to contact for service |
115 |
support prompts is now defined in ``CONTACT_EMAIL`` setting introduced in |
116 |
snf-common settings. |
117 |
|
118 |
* Improvements in user activation flow |
119 |
|
120 |
* User moderation now takes place after the user has verified his email |
121 |
address. |
122 |
* User model enriched with additional user state fields |
123 |
* Split activation email from moderation process. Administrator is required |
124 |
to moderate user explicitly using the `user-modify --accept` or |
125 |
`user-modify --reject` commands. |
126 |
* Improved logging throught out user activation procedures. |
127 |
|
128 |
* Remove deprecated AstakosUser model fields: `provider`, |
129 |
`third_party_identifier` |
130 |
|
131 |
* Allow override of authentication provider messages using the following |
132 |
format in setting names: ``ASTAKOS_<PROVIDER_MODULE>_<MSGID>_MSG`` |
133 |
|
134 |
* Cloudbar automatically tries to identify the active service based on window |
135 |
location. |
136 |
|
137 |
* Removing authentication provider view is now CSRF protected. |
138 |
|
139 |
* New `API access` view, containing useful information to users on how to |
140 |
access available Synnefo services API's. |
141 |
|
142 |
* Remove of ASTAKOS_*_EMAIL_SUBJECT settings. All email subjects are now |
143 |
defined in astakos.im.messages module. Overriding default values can be |
144 |
achieved using custom gettext files or using astakos messages settings:: |
145 |
|
146 |
#change of greeting email subject |
147 |
ASTAKOS_GREETING_EMAIL_SUBJECT_MESSAGE = 'Welcome to my cloud' |
148 |
|
149 |
* Remove ``ASTAKOS_ACTIVATION_REDIRECT_URL`` and ``ASTAKOS_LOGIN_SUCCESS_URL`` |
