Salt 0.9.6 Release Notes
| release: | 2012-01-21 |
|---|
Salt 0.9.6 is a release targeting a few bugs and changes. This is primarily targeting an issue found in the names declaration in the state system. But a few other bugs were also repaired, like missing support for grains in extmods.
Due to a conflict in distribution packaging msgpack will no longer be bundled with Salt, and is required as a dependency.
New Features
HTTP and ftp support in files.managed
Now under the source option in the file.managed state a HTTP or ftp address can be used instead of a file located on the salt master.
Allow Multiple Returners
Now the returner interface can define multiple returners, and will also return data back to the master, making the process less ambiguous.
Minion Memory Improvements
A number of modules have been taken out of the minion if the underlying systems required by said modules are not present on the minion system. A number of other modules need to be stripped out in this same way which should continue to make the minion more efficient.
