As a consequence, it's not possible to partially change + or override instance specs. Bounding specs (min and max) can be specified as a + whole using the new option ``--ipolicy-bounds-specs``, while standard + specs use the new option ``--ipolicy-std-specs``. +- Disk templates in group ipolicy can be restored to the default value. +- The output of the info command of gnt-cluster, gnt-group, gnt-node, + gnt-instance is a valid YAML object. +- Initial support for diskless instances and virtual clusters in QA. +- More QA and unit tests for instance policies. +- Every opcode now contains a reason trail (visible through ``gnt-job info``) + describing why the opcode itself was executed. +- The monitoring daemon is now available. It allows users to query the cluster + for obtaining information about the status of the system. The daemon is only + responsible for providing the information over the network: the actual data + gathering is performed by data collectors (currently, only the DRBD status + collector is available). +- In order to help developers work on Ganeti, a new script + (``devel/build_chroot``) is provided, for building a chroot that contains all + the required development libraries and tools for compiling ganeti for a Debian + Squeeze system. +- A new tool, ``harep``, for performing self-repair and recreation of instances + in Ganeti was added. +- Split queries are enabled for network and export. + +New dependencies +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The following new dependencies have been added: + +For Haskell: +- The ``curl`` library is not optional anymore for compiling the Haskell code. +- ``snap-server`` library (if monitoring is enabled). + +For Python: +- The minimum Python version needed to run Ganeti is now 2.6. +- ``yaml`` library.
