Change History¶

1.3 - unreleased¶

• Add Sphinx documentation with API docs. Publish on RTD.
• Convert CHANGES.md to RST to make them nicely embeddable in the docs.
• Replace the old README.md with a new README.rst that points to the documentation on RTD.
• Add a long_description to setup.py to provide more info on PyPI.

1.2 - 2013-05-02¶

• Major refactor of underlying data model:
  • Autogenerated env tasks to use with fab
  • definitions.py replaces model.py and resolve.py
  • Provides a simpler object and iteration model for navigation confab settings.
  • Moves host and role iteration out of main.py into iterconffiles function.
• No prevents multiple roles/components from defining the same template on the same host.
• Allows multiple loading of data from identically named files in different directories.
• Ensures that role data may override component data.
• Supports customized module_as_dict conversion.

1.1 - 2013-03-25¶

• Allows roles to have components: components may have templates and may be reused across different roles, with customization defined in role configuration data.
• Abstracts template and data loading into callable objects to allow ConfFiles to load templates and data for specific components.
• Allows data modules to be templates (*.py_tmpl) as well as Python files (*.py).
• Adds output verbosity control and more verbose output.
• Instead of enforcing that all hosts have the same role when invoking the confab CLI, “does the right thing.”
• Changes uses of run() to sudo() and always uses use_sudo when calling put().
• Switches merge resolution order to respect environment configuration before role or component configuration.
