v5.1 (2020-01-08)

This minor release does not add new features but only minor maintenance updates.

v5.0 (2019-09-06)

This release adds many new features to the 5GTANGO tng-sdk-project tool. The highlights are:

• Support for descriptor generation
• Service mode with REST API

New Features

Descriptor Generation

• Improved descriptor generation architecture with modular generation plugins
• Integrated descriptor generation into project management
  • When creating a new project, additional CLI arguments can be passed to specify which descriptors should be generated inside the new project
  • Example: tng-project -p new-project --author 5gtango --vnfs 3
  • --empty creates an empty project without any descriptors

Service Mode with REST API

• Introduced tng-sdk-project service mode, exposing a REST API
  • Similar functionality as the CLI version:
    • Add/remove/modify projects
    • Use the descriptor generator to generate initial descriptors in new projects
  • API specification with Swagger (generated by flask-restplus)
  • API testing with Tavern
• Endpoint for statically serving generated projects and descriptors
• Endpoint for automatic packaging (incl. validation) if 5GTANGO packager and validator are installed

Other

• Added project UUID for quick and easy identification of projects
• Support for MIME type detection and handling of descriptors of tests, SLAs, policies, and slices (in addition to VNFs and NS)
• Support for adding (zip) files containing a large number of files (e.g., Charms) that need to be handled together

v4.0 (2018-07-31)

First release of 5GTANGO's new workspace and project management tool, extending the seed code from SONATA's son-cli tool. The tool provides a simple CLI that allows:

• Workspace management:
  • Create new 5GTANGO workspaces (e.g., with configuration files)
  • Used by other SDK tools, e.g., to determine the MIME type of 5GTANGO descriptors
• Project management:
  • Create new NFV projects containing arbitrary artifacts, e.g., descriptors or VNF images
  • Automatically generates a corresponding project manifest (project.yml), which states project information and lists all involved files
  • Project files can easily be added or removed with --add and --remove, supporting wildcards (similar to the well-known git CLI)
  • The project status (--status) provides a quick overview of the project information and involved files
  • A translation functionality (--translate) automatically translates old SONATA projects to the new v4.0 format
• Descriptor generation CLI:
  • Complementary to the simple descriptor generation GUI
  • Quick generation of descriptors for experienced users, preferring a CLI
  • To be integrated with the project management in the future (e.g., to automatically generate suitable descriptors when creating a new project)
