109
Synnefo-wide
110
------------
111

    
112
* Create 'snf_django' Python package to hold common code for all Synnefo
113
  components.
114

    
115
* Create a JSON-exportable definition document for each Synnefo Components
116
  (Astakos, Cyclades, Pithos, etc.) that consolidates APIs (services),
117
  resources, and other standardized properties (e.g. default URL prefixes).
118

    
119
* Standardize URLs for Synnefo Components, impose structure and naming
120
  conventions to related settings. Make each component deployable under
121
  a user-configurable <COMPONENT>_BASE_URL. Each API (compute, image, etc.)
122
  is deployable under a developer-configurable prefix beneath BASE_URL.
123

    
124
* Deprecate CLOUDBAR_ACTIVE_SERVICE setting from all apps. 
125

    
126
* Common synnefo 404/500 templates (located in snf-webproject)

128
Astakos
129
-------
130

    
131
* Redesign of the accounting system (quotaholder) and integration into
132
  Astakos.
133

    
134
  * Simplified the quotaholder model; removed tables Entity and Policy; now
135
    table Holding contains limit and usage for every holding.
136
  * Extended table Holding, so that we can keep track of quota for every
137
    valid combination of holder (e.g. user), resource, and source (e.g. the
138
    default system or some specific project).
139
  * Refactored code for issuing and resolving commissions for robustness;
140
    added a 'force' option to bypass the upper limit check when issuing a
141
    commission.
142
  * Simplified syncing to the quotaholder; removed fields from models
143
    Project and ProjectMembership, previously needed for syncing; removed
144
    state PROJECT_DEACTIVATED from ProjectMembership.
145
  * Removed settings ASTAKOS_QUOTAHOLDER_URL, ASTAKOS_QUOTAHOLDER_TOKEN,
146
    and ASTAKOS_QUOTAHOLDER_POOLSIZE.
147

    
148
* API-related changes:
149

    
150
  * Implemented API calls for quota, resources, and commissions.
151
  * Moved all API calls under '/account/v1.0'.
152
  * Implemented the keystone API call POST /tokens under '/identity/v2.0'.
153

    
154
* Service and resource specification and handling:
155

    
156
  * Specified a format for defining services along with the API endpoints
157
    and the resources they expose. Migrated internal resource name by
158
    prefixing it with service name (e.g. 'vm' becomes 'cyclades.vm');
159
    renamed registered service 'pithos+' to 'pithos'.
160
  * Specified a procedure to register a Synnefo component, its services and
161
    their resources in astakos and set the resources' default base quota
162
    limit. Removed resource definitions from settings.
163
  * Moved service and resource presentation data out of the respective db
164
    models into a separate file of UI constants.
165

    
166
* Converted the limit on pending applications from a setting to a quotable
167
  resource. Converted the related user setting to a user-specific base quota
168
  limit. Deprecated model UserSetting; removed setting
169
  ASTAKOS_PENDING_APPLICATION_LIMIT.
170

    
171
* Changes in locking strategy:
172

    
173
  * Lock only project's chain for all project operations; lock user before
174
    syncing to quotaholder.
175
  * When locking multiple rows (e.g. users or holdings) include an ORDER BY
176
    clause in the query to impose ordering on locking.
177

    
178
* Changes in views:
179

    
180
  * Replaced custom transaction context with a simple decorator for managing
181
    transactions and a context 'ExceptionHandler', which logs and suppresses
182
    exceptions
183

    
184
* Added fine grain user auth provider's policies.
185

    
186
  * Administrator can override default auth provider policies to a specific 
187
    user or group of users.
188
  * Optionally a user can be assigned to a list of groups, based on the
189
    authentication method he choosed to signup.
190

    
191
* Removed explicit handling of SMTP errors on each email delivery. Exceptions 
192
  are now propagated to base django exception handler.
193

    
194
* Email used in html/email tempaltes which prompt user to contact for service 
195
  support prompts is now defined in ``CONTACT_EMAIL`` setting introduced in 
196
  snf-common settings.
197

    
198
* Improvements in user activation flow
199

    
200
  * User moderation now takes place after the user has verified his email
201
    address.
202
  * User model enriched with additional user state fields
203
  * Split activation email from moderation process. Administrator is required 
204
    to moderate user explicitly using the `user-modify --accept` or
205
    `user-modify --reject` commands.
206
  * Improved logging throught out user activation procedures.
207

    
208
* Remove deprecated AstakosUser model fields: `provider`,
209
  `third_party_identifier`
210

    
211
* Allow override of authentication provider messages using the following 
212
  format in setting names: ``ASTAKOS_<PROVIDER_MODULE>_<MSGID>_MSG``
213

    
214
* Cloudbar automatically tries to identify the active service based on window 
215
  location.

221

    
222
* Remove of ASTAKOS_*_EMAIL_SUBJECT settings. All email subjects are now 
223
  defined in astakos.im.messages module. Overriding default values can be 
224
  achieved using custom gettext files or using astakos messages settings::
225
	
226
	#change of greeting email subject
227
  	ASTAKOS_GREETING_EMAIL_SUBJECT_MESSAGE = 'Welcome to my cloud'
228

    
229
