Released: UNRELEASED |
16 |
|
17 |
Synnefo-wide |
18 |
------------ |
19 |
|
20 |
* Create 'snf_django' Python package to hold common code for all Synnefo |
21 |
components. |
22 |
|
23 |
* Create a JSON-exportable definition document for each Synnefo Components |
24 |
(Astakos, Cyclades, Pithos, etc.) that consolidates APIs (services), |
25 |
resources, and other standardized properties (e.g. default URL prefixes). |
26 |
|
27 |
* Standardize URLs for Synnefo Components, impose structure and naming |
28 |
conventions to related settings. Make each component deployable under |
29 |
a user-configurable <COMPONENT>_BASE_URL. Each API (compute, image, etc.) |
30 |
is deployable under a developer-configurable prefix beneath BASE_URL. |
31 |
|
32 |
Astakos |
33 |
------- |
34 |
|
35 |
* Redesign of the accounting system (quotaholder) and integration into |
36 |
Astakos. |
37 |
|
38 |
* Simplified the quotaholder model; removed tables Entity and Policy; now |
39 |
table Holding contains limit and usage for every holding. |
40 |
* Extended table Holding, so that we can keep track of quota for every |
41 |
valid combination of holder (e.g. user), resource, and source (e.g. the |
42 |
default system or some specific project). |
43 |
* Refactored code for issuing and resolving commissions for robustness; |
44 |
added a 'force' option to bypass the upper limit check when issuing a |
45 |
commission. |
46 |
* Simplified syncing to the quotaholder; removed fields from models |
47 |
Project and ProjectMembership, previously needed for syncing; removed |
48 |
state PROJECT_DEACTIVATED from ProjectMembership. |
49 |
* Removed settings ASTAKOS_QUOTAHOLDER_URL, ASTAKOS_QUOTAHOLDER_TOKEN, |
50 |
and ASTAKOS_QUOTAHOLDER_POOLSIZE. |
51 |
|
52 |
* API-related changes: |
53 |
|
54 |
* Implemented API calls for quota, resources, and commissions. |
55 |
* Moved all API calls under '/account/v1.0'. |
56 |
* Implemented the keystone API call POST /tokens under '/identity/v2.0'. |
57 |
|
58 |
* Service and resource specification and handling: |
59 |
|
60 |
* Specified a format for defining services along with the API endpoints |
61 |
and the resources they expose. Migrated internal resource name by |
62 |
prefixing it with service name (e.g. 'vm' becomes 'cyclades.vm'); |
63 |
renamed registered service 'pithos+' to 'pithos'. |
64 |
* Specified a procedure to register a Synnefo component, its services and |
65 |
their resources in astakos and set the resources' default base quota |
66 |
limit. Removed resource definitions from settings. |
67 |
* Moved service and resource presentation data out of the respective db |
68 |
models into a separate file of UI constants. |
69 |
|
70 |
* Converted the limit on pending applications from a setting to a quotable |
71 |
resource. Converted the related user setting to a user-specific base quota |
72 |
limit. Deprecated model UserSetting; removed setting |
73 |
ASTAKOS_PENDING_APPLICATION_LIMIT. |
74 |
|
75 |
* Changes in locking strategy: |
76 |
|
77 |
* Lock only project's chain for all project operations; lock user before |
78 |
syncing to quotaholder. |
79 |
* When locking multiple rows (e.g. users or holdings) include an ORDER BY |
80 |
clause in the query to impose ordering on locking. |
81 |
|
82 |
* Changes in views: |
83 |
|
84 |
* Replaced custom transaction context with a simple decorator for managing |
85 |
transactions and a context 'ExceptionHandler', which logs and suppresses |
86 |
exceptions |
87 |
|
88 |
* Added fine grain user auth provider's policies. |
89 |
|
90 |
* Administrator can override default auth provider policies to a specific |
91 |
user or group of users. |
92 |
* Optionally a user can be assigned to a list of groups, based on the |
93 |
authentication method he choosed to signup. |
94 |
|
95 |
* Removed explicit handling of SMTP errors on each email delivery. Exceptions |
96 |
are now propagated to base django exception handler. |
97 |
|
98 |
* Improvements in user activation flow |
99 |
|
100 |
* User moderation now takes place after the user has verified his email |
101 |
address. |
102 |
* User model enriched with additional user state fields |
103 |
* Split activation email from moderation process. Administrator is required |
104 |
to moderate user explicitly using the `user-modify --accept` or |
105 |
`user-modify --reject` commands. |
106 |
* Improved logging throught out user activation procedures. |

148 |
