Synnefo-wide
30
------------
31
* Standardize URLs for Synnefo Components:
32

    
33
  * impose structure and naming conventions to all URL related settings. Make
34
    each component deployable under a user-configurable <COMPONENT>_BASE_URL.
35
    Each API (compute, image, etc.) is deployable under a
36
    developer-configurable prefix beneath BASE_URL.
37

    
38
* Branding customization support across synnefo frontend components:
39

    
40
  * ability to adapt the Astakos, Pithos and Cyclades Web UI to a company’s
41
    visual identity. This is possible using the snf-branding component, which
42
    is automatically installed on the nodes running the API servers for
43
    Astakos, Pithos and Cyclades.
44

    
45

    
46
* Create a JSON-exportable definition document for each Synnefo Components
47
  (Astakos, Cyclades, Pithos, etc.) that consolidates APIs (services),
48
  resources, and other standardized properties (e.g. default URL prefixes).
49
* Implement common client for communication with Astakos and proper error
50
  handling.
51

    
52
Astakos
53
-------
54
* Redesign of the accounting system (quotaholder) and integration into
55
  Astakos.
56
* Implemented the keystone API call POST /tokens
57

    
58
  * Specified the API call allong with a procedure to register a Synnefo
59
    component (e.g. cyclades) along with the services it provides (e.g.
60
    compute, plankton) and the resources it handles (e.g. vm, cpu).
61

    
62
* All API calls are moved under '/account/v1.0'.
63
* Support API calls for quotas, commissions and resources.
64
* Improved user activation process
65
* Improve limit of pending applications by making it a quotable resource.
66
* Added fine grain user auth provider's policies.
67
* Overhauling of Astakos management commands for usability and uniformity.
68

    
69
Cyclades
70
--------
71
* Speed up private network creation, by creating a network to a Ganeti backend
72
  only when a server connects to that network.
73
* Rename management commands for commissions and resources for uniformity with
74
  other services.
75
* Synchronize Cyclades API with Openstack Compute v2.0 API.
