We would like to request a Feature Freeze for MAAS 1.7.
In Utopic, we successfully released MAAS 1.7 Beta 1. That release included a preview of some of the new upcoming features. It is important to have this new release, because apart from having various bug fixes for 1.7beta1, in includes the completion of the various features in 1.7.
MAAS 1.7 Final release will include:
- Finish base support for IPv6.
* Allow machines to be deploying with IPv6 addresses.
* MAAS runs its own DHCPv6.
- Finish Robustness.
* This includes the re-definition of the machine lifecycle in MAAS.
(MAAS now tracks when a machine is owned, installing, installed or
failed install).
* Robust power actions (MAAS no longer fires and forgets)
* Power status tracking (MAAS now tracks the power status of a machine
regardless of the state it is in)
* Disk wiping (can wipe the disks if the user wishes so)
- Finish removal of the usage of Celery in favor of using twisted RPC.
* Completely uses Twisted RPC instead of Celery for communication
between Region/Cluster and performing actions.
* Reduces the dependencies. We no longer depend on Celery, Rabbitmq,
txlonpoll.
* Reduces the amount of MAAS daemons.
- Finish new Image Store and Syncing.
* MAAS Region can now sync images and spread them over to the clusters.
* Allow's offline operation.
* Allow's uploading custom images or other OS images.
- Finish support for Third Party OS.
* Supports other OS's (CentOS/Windows).
* Support custom Images/OS.
Can I get a diff here for review? The changelog is helpful, but I'd like to see the general impact before I say "yes".
