========= |

15 |
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 |
Astakos |
24 |
------- |
25 |
|
26 |
* Redesign of the accounting system (quotaholder) and integration into |
27 |
Astakos. |
28 |
|
29 |
* Simplified the quotaholder model; removed tables Entity and Policy; now |
30 |
table Holding contains limit and usage for every holding. |
31 |
* Extended table Holding, so that we can keep track of quota for every |
32 |
valid combination of holder (e.g. user), resource, and source (e.g. the |
33 |
default system or some specific project). |
34 |
* Refactored code for issuing and resolving commissions for robustness; |
35 |
added a 'force' option to bypass the upper limit check when issuing a |
36 |
commission. |
37 |
* Simplified syncing to the quotaholder; removed fields from models |
38 |
Project and ProjectMembership, previously needed for syncing; removed |
39 |
state PROJECT_DEACTIVATED from ProjectMembership. |
40 |
* Removed settings ASTAKOS_QUOTAHOLDER_URL, ASTAKOS_QUOTAHOLDER_TOKEN, |
41 |
and ASTAKOS_QUOTAHOLDER_POOLSIZE. |
42 |
|
43 |
* Service and resource specification and handling: |
44 |
|
45 |
* Specified a format for defining resources a service exposes. Migrated |
46 |
internal resource name by prefixing it with service name (e.g. 'vm' |
47 |
becomes 'cyclades.vm'); renamed registered service 'pithos+' to |
48 |
'pithos'. |
49 |
* Specified a procedure to register a service's resources in astakos and |
50 |
set their respective default base quota limit. Removed resource |
51 |
definitions from settings. |
52 |
* Moved service and resource presentation data out of the respective db |
53 |
models into a separate file of UI constants. |
54 |
|
55 |
* Converted the limit on pending applications from a setting to a quotable |
56 |
resource. Converted the related user setting to a user-specific base quota |
57 |
limit. Deprecated model UserSetting; removed setting |
58 |
ASTAKOS_PENDING_APPLICATION_LIMIT. |
59 |
|
60 |
* Changes in locking strategy: |
61 |
|
62 |
* Lock only project's chain for all project operations; lock user before |
63 |
syncing to quotaholder. |
64 |
* When locking multiple rows (e.g. users or holdings) include an ORDER BY |
65 |
clause in the query to impose ordering on locking. |
66 |
|
67 |
* API-related changes: |
68 |
|
69 |
* Implemented API calls for quota, resources, and commissions. |
70 |
* Moved all API calls under '/account/v1.0'. Kept also previous locations |
71 |
for backwards compatibility. |
72 |
|
73 |
* Changes in views: |
74 |
|
75 |
* Replaced custom transaction context with a simple decorator for managing |
76 |
transactions and a context 'ExceptionHandler', which logs and suppresses |
77 |
exceptions |
78 |
|
79 |
* Added fine grain user auth provider's policies. |
80 |
|
81 |
* Administrator can override default auth provider policies to a specific |
82 |
user or group of users. |
83 |
* Optionally a user can be assigned to a list of groups, based on the |
84 |
authentication method he choosed to signup. |
85 |
|
86 |
* Removed explicit handling of SMTP errors on each email delivery. Exceptions |
87 |
are now propagated to base django exception handler. |
88 |
|
89 |
* Improvements in user activation flow |
90 |
|
91 |
* User moderation now takes place after the user has verified his email |
92 |
address. |
93 |
* User model enriched with additional user state fields |
94 |
* Split activation email from moderation process. Administrator is required |
95 |
to moderate user explicitly using the `user-modify --accept` or |
96 |
`user-modify --reject` commands. |
97 |
* Improved logging throught out user activation procedures. |
98 |
|
99 |
* Management commands: |
100 |
|
101 |
* Renamed command astakos-quota to quota; user-update to user-modify. |
102 |
* Removed user-set-initial-quota; integrated its functionality in |
103 |
user-modify and quota. |
104 |
* Added quota and project-related information in user-show command; added |
105 |
membership information in project-show. |
106 |
* New commands introduced |
107 |
|
108 |
* user-group-{add, list} |
109 |
* user-auth-policy-{add, list, remove, set, show} |
110 |
|
111 |
Cyclades |
112 |
-------- |
113 |
|
114 |
* Make 'type' attribute required for network create API request. |
115 |
* Networks not created to all Ganeti backends upon creation, they are instead |
116 |
created to a backend only when a VM connects to the network. |
117 |
* Add 'ASTAKOS_POOLSIZE' setting which tunes the size of the http connection |
118 |
pool to astakos. |
119 |
* Remove 'CYCLADES_USER_CATALOG_URL' and 'CYCLADES_USER_FEEDBACK_URL' settings |
120 |
* Remove CYCLADES_USE_QUOTAHOLDER, CYCLADES_QUOTAHOLDER_TOKEN, |
121 |
CYCLADES_QUOTAHOLDER_URL, CYCLADES_QUOTAHOLDER_POOLSIZE settings |
122 |
* Rename 'cyclades-usage-verify' management command to |
123 |
'reconcile-resources-cyclades'. Also, remove 'cyclades-usage-reset' command, |
124 |
which is equivalent to 'reconcile-resources-cyclades --fix'. |
125 |
* Rename 'cyclades-reconcile-commissions' management command to |
126 |
'reconcile-commissions-cyclades'. |
127 |
* Remove obsolete 'MAX_VMS_PER_USER', 'MAX_NETWORKS_PER_USER', |
128 |
"VMS_USER_QUOTA" and "NETWORKS_USER_QUOTA" settings, since their usage |
129 |
is covered by Quotaholder. |
