Hi Tim,

The issue affects new deployments using existing tooling which references the 
original api parameter of xentrafficlabel.

It will also affect any tooling which may update the labels, although this is a 
rare occurance.

The main issue is backwards compatibility, but also a concern that there may be 
other areas where the api parameters have changed from xen to xenserver.

Anyone who has developed a custom UI may run into issues.

Is there a list of all the API changes that have been made?

Regards

Geoff Higginbottom

Rohit,  how does the issue manifest itself?  I ask because I thought I'd taken 
care of every scenario during upgrade.

Hi Tim,

Geoff found a issue today that breaks backward compatibility for
XenServer users.

Until 4.4, XenServer traffic label was xennetworklabel but in 4.5/master
it is xenservernetworklabel. To keep backward compatibility I'm
reverting such changes introduced in
a8212d9ef458dd7ac64b021e6fa33fcf64b3cce0 (xenserver plugin refactoring).
When in future we'll have a separate xen project plugin (based on
libvirt or what have you) we should add a new label like
xenprojectnetworklabel but let's keep the old one for backward
compatibility's sake.

It could be valid change, if so please advise any other way to maintain
backward compatibility? Please comment if this is okay?

The issue has been fixed on 4.5/master now:
