Packages are available from our yum repository, both the RPMs and the repository metadata are signed with my GPG key.
As always, many thanks to everyone who contributed! We merged 118 pull requests and resolved 77 issues.
The next release should be 15.6 (theoretcially only three weeks away), take a look at the backlog to see what we’re working on.
Main New Features and Fixes
We are now building client and repository RPMs to allow existing hosts, VM images etc. to be payloaded more easily.
ncm-systemdhas been added to provide support for controlling systemd units.ncm-opennebulahas been added to deploy and manage OpenNebula clouds.ncm-metaconfighas deprecated thedaemonlist in favour of the more usefuldaemonsstructure - users are encouraged to update their configuration.
Backwards Incompatible Changes
ncm-metaconfig
Type changed from string to list of strings.
ncm-opennebula
Removed type from opennebula_vnet type definition as it was already deprecated and it not in later versions of OpenNebula.
This should not be a problem for most users as this is the first release featuring this component.
