Synnefo-wide
48
------------
49
* Standardize URLs for Synnefo Components:
50

    
51
  * impose structure and naming conventions to all URL related settings. Make
52
    each component deployable under a user-configurable <COMPONENT>_BASE_URL.
53
    Each API (compute, image, etc.) is deployable under a
54
    developer-configurable prefix beneath BASE_URL.
55

    
56
* Branding customization support across synnefo frontend components:
57

    
58
  * ability to adapt the Astakos, Pithos and Cyclades Web UI to a company’s
59
    visual identity. This is possible using the snf-branding component, which
60
    is automatically installed on the nodes running the API servers for
61
    Astakos, Pithos and Cyclades.
62

    
63

    
64
* Create a JSON-exportable definition document for each Synnefo Components
65
  (Astakos, Cyclades, Pithos, etc.) that consolidates APIs (services),
66
  resources, and other standardized properties (e.g. default URL prefixes).
67
* Implement common client for communication with Astakos and proper error
68
  handling.
69

    
70
Astakos
71
-------
72
* Redesign of the accounting system (quotaholder) and integration into
73
  Astakos.
74
* Implemented the keystone API call POST /tokens
75

    
76
  * Specified the API call allong with a procedure to register a Synnefo
77
    component (e.g. cyclades) along with the services it provides (e.g.
78
    compute, plankton) and the resources it handles (e.g. vm, cpu).
79

    
80
* All API calls are moved under '/account/v1.0'.
81
* Support API calls for quotas, commissions and resources.
82
* Improved user activation process
83
* Improve limit of pending applications by making it a quotable resource.
84
* Added fine grain user auth provider's policies.
85
* Overhauling of Astakos management commands for usability and uniformity.
86

    
87
Cyclades
88
--------
89
* Speed up private network creation, by creating a network to a Ganeti backend
90
  only when a server connects to that network.
91
* Rename management commands for commissions and resources for uniformity with
92
  other services.
93
* Synchronize Cyclades API with Openstack Compute v2.0 API.
