Synnefo-wide
76
------------
77
* Standardize URLs for Synnefo Components:
78

    
79
  * impose structure and naming conventions to all URL related settings. Make
80
    each component deployable under a user-configurable <COMPONENT>_BASE_URL.
81
    Each API (compute, image, etc.) is deployable under a
82
    developer-configurable prefix beneath BASE_URL.
83

    
84
* Branding customization support across synnefo frontend components:
85

    
86
  * ability to adapt the Astakos, Pithos and Cyclades Web UI to a company’s
87
    visual identity. This is possible using the snf-branding component, which
88
    is automatically installed on the nodes running the API servers for
89
    Astakos, Pithos and Cyclades.
90

    
91

    
92
* Create a JSON-exportable definition document for each Synnefo Components
93
  (Astakos, Cyclades, Pithos, etc.) that consolidates APIs (services),
94
  resources, and other standardized properties (e.g. default URL prefixes).
95
* Implement common client for communication with Astakos and proper error
96
  handling.
97

    
98
Astakos
99
-------
100
* Redesign of the accounting system (quotaholder) and integration into
101
  Astakos.
102
* Implemented the keystone API call POST /tokens
103

    
104
  * Specified the API call allong with a procedure to register a Synnefo
105
    component (e.g. cyclades) along with the services it provides (e.g.
106
    compute, plankton) and the resources it handles (e.g. vm, cpu).
107

    
108
* All API calls are moved under '/account/v1.0'.
109
* Support API calls for quotas, commissions and resources.
110
* Improved user activation process
111
* Improve limit of pending applications by making it a quotable resource.
112
* Added fine grain user auth provider's policies.
113
* Overhauling of Astakos management commands for usability and uniformity.
114

    
115
Cyclades

--------
117
* Speed up private network creation, by creating a network to a Ganeti backend
118
  only when a server connects to that network.

* Rename management commands for commissions and resources for uniformity with
120
  other services.
121
* Synchronize Cyclades API with Openstack Compute v2.0 API.
