Release v3.4

• New features:

  • The 'resalloc-maint' command got a new sub-command 'foreach-resource'
    that can be used for programatic way of executing commands for each
    running resource.

• Bugfixes:

  • We fixed a bug in calculation of "preallocated" resources; previously
    released resources were counted as free-to-use by anyone - thus also
    pre-allocated. But these are not useable by anyone, and shouldn't be
    taken as preallocated.

  • We re-added the "host" config option, which is just for backward
    compatibility. Users still should use 'hostname' preferably.

Release v3.3

• Bugfixes:

  • Large stdout output from cmd_new command is properly trimmed, without
    traceback and leftover always-STARTING instance.

  • Better (fixed) logging from AllocWorker.

Release v3.2

New in 3.2:

• Enhancements:

  • Configurable command cmd_release to be run before we mark the
    resource as reusable again.

  • After server restart, schedule all inconsistent resources to be
    terminated. (mitigates issue#41)

  • Systemd serrver service is restarted upon failure (just in case).

Release v3.1

New in 3.1:

• Enhancements:

  • Resource Watcher thread doesn't directly terminate resources, but only
    checks periodically for liveness. The termination task is given to
    Manager thread to avoid races.

  • The Watcher thread has a new environment variable
    RESALLOC_RESOURCE_DATA with base64 encoded output from 'cmd_new'.

Release v3.0

• New features:

  • Resource "re-using" mechanism was added. Resources are newly put to
    sandboxes (per ticket sandbox flag), and when the resource is released
    from ticket the resource can be assigned to other (subsequent) ticket
    with the same sandbox flag.

  • Python API; The resalloc.client.Connection constructor now accepts
    'request_survives_server_restart'. When set to True (default False),
    each XML request network failure is ignored and the request is retried
    till it succeeds. This allows administrator to do resalloc server
    maintenance, restart it and clients survive without noticing.

Release 2.6

Don't assign resources to closed tickets.

v2.5

• don't mangle os.environ in threads

Fix inter-thread problems with resource termination

• using thread local data where appropriate
• simplified/enhanced testsuite
• shorted critical sections while working with sql transactions

provide resalloc-server.1 man page

logrotate also hooks/ directory

This requires custom scripting to merge the small files into one
log file, which is actually rotated.

Fix release tarball to contain argparse-manpage

Bump version to v2.2

Basically because I created a bad release before.
