Version 2.0.3
- Added “--ignore-size” to the “gnt-instance activate-disks” command
to allow using the pre-2.0.2 behaviour in activation, if any
existing instances have mismatched disk sizes in the configuration
- Added “gnt-cluster repair-disk-sizes” command to check and update
any configuration mismatches for disk sizes
- Added “gnt-master cluste-failover --no-voting” to allow master
failover to work on two-node clusters
- Fixed the ‘--net’ option of “gnt-backup import”, which was unusable
- Fixed detection of OS script errors in “gnt-backup export”
- Fixed exit code of “gnt-backup export”

- Fixed detection of OS script errors in ``gnt-backup export``
- Fixed exit code of ``gnt-backup export``
Version 2.0.2
- Added experimental support for stripped logical volumes; this should
enhance performance but comes with a higher complexity in the block
device handling; stripping is only enabled when passing
--with-lvm-stripecount=N to configure, but codepaths are affected
even in the non-stripped mode
- Improved resiliency against transient failures at the end of DRBD
resyncs, and in general of DRBD resync checks
- Fixed a couple of issues with exports and snapshot errors
- Fixed a couple of issues in instance listing
- Added display of the disk size in “gnt-instance info”
- Fixed checking for valid OSes in instance creation
- Fixed handling of the ‘vcpus’ parameter in instance listing and in
general of invalid parameters
- Fixed http server library, and thus RAPI, to handle invalid
username/password combinations correctly; this means that now they
report unauthorized for queries too, not only for modifications,
allowing earlier detect of configuration problems
- Added a new ‘role’ node list field, equivalent to the master/master
candidate/drained/offline flags combinations
- Fixed cluster modify and changes of candidate pool size
- Fixed cluster verify error messages for wrong files on regular nodes
- Fixed a couple of issues with node demotion from master candidate
role
- Fixed node readd issues
- Added non-interactive mode for “ganeti-masterd --no-voting” startup
- Added a new ‘--no-voting’ option for masterfailover to fix failover
on two-nodes clusters when the former master node is unreachable
- Added instance reinstall over RAPI

Version 2.0.1
- added -H/-B startup parameters to gnt-instance, which will allow
re-adding the start in single-user option (regression from 1.2)
- the watcher writes the instance status to a file, to allow
monitoring to report the instance status (from the master) based on
cached results of the watcher's queries; while this can get stale if
the watcher is being locked due to other work on the cluster, this
is still an improvement
- the watcher now also restarts the node daemon and the rapi daemon if
they died
- fixed the watcher to handle full and drained queue cases
- hooks export more instance data in the environment, which helps if
hook scripts need to take action based on the instance's properties
(no longer need to query back into ganeti)
- instance failovers when the instance is stopped do not check for
free RAM, so that failing over a stopped instance is possible in low
memory situations
- rapi uses queries for tags instead of jobs (for less job traffic),
and for cluster tags it won't talk to masterd at all but read them
from ssconf
- a couple of error handling fixes in RAPI
- drbd handling: improved the error handling of inconsistent disks
after resync to reduce the frequency of "there are some degraded
disks for this instance" message
- fixed a bug in live migration when DRBD doesn't want to reconnect
(the error handling path called a wrong function name)

Version 2.0 release candidate 4
- change the OS list to not require locks; this helps with big
clusters
- fix gnt-cluster verify and gnt-cluster verify-disks when the volume
group is broken
- “gnt-instance info”, without any arguments, doesn't run for all

root disk to the first partition on the first drive, instead of the
whole drive; this means that the OS installation scripts must be
changed accordingly
- Man pages have been updated

functions should all work correctly
- RAPI v1 has been removed
- Many improvements to the KVM hypervisor

Version 2.0 beta 1
- Version 2 is a general rewrite of the code and therefore the
differences are too many to list, see the design document for 2.0 in
the doc/ subdirectory for more details
- In this beta version there is not yet a migration path from 1.2
(there will be one in the final 2.0 release)
- A few significant changes are:
- all commands are executed by a daemon (ganeti-masterd) and the
various gnt-* commands are just front-ends to it
- all the commands are entered into, and executed from a job queue,
see gnt-job(8)
- the RAPI daemon supports read-write operations, secured by basic
HTTP authentication on top of HTTPS
- DRBD version 0.7 support has been removed, DRBD 8 is the only
supported version (when migrating from Ganeti 1.2 to 2.0, you need
to migrate to DRBD 8 first while still running Ganeti 1.2)
- DRBD devices are using statically allocated minor numbers, which
will be assigned to existing instances during the migration
process
- there is support for both Xen PVM and Xen HVM instances running on
the same cluster
- KVM virtualization is supported too
- file-based storage has been implemented, which means that it is
possible to run the cluster without LVM and DRBD storage, for
example using a shared filesystem exported from shared storage
(and still have live migration)

Version 1.2.6
- new --hvm-nic-type and --hvm-disk-type flags to control the type of disk
exported to fully virtualized instances.
- provide access to the serial console of HVM instances
- instance auto_balance flag, set by default. If turned off it will avoid
warnings on cluster verify if there is not enough memory to fail over an
instance. in the future it will prevent automatically failing it over when
we will support that.
- batcher tool for instance creation, see /tools/README.batcher
- gnt-instance reinstall --select-os to interactively select a new operating
system when reinstalling an instance.
- when changing the memory amount on instance modify a check has been added
that the instance will be able to start. also warnings are emitted if the
instance will not be able to fail over, if auto_balance is true.
- documentation fixes
- sync fields between instance list/modify/add/import
- fix a race condition in drbd when the sync speed was set after giving the
device a remote peer.

Version 1.2.4
- Experimental readonly, REST-based remote API implementation; automatically
started on master node, TCP port 5080, if enabled by --enable-rapi
parameter to configure script.
- Instance allocator support. Add and import instance accept a --iallocator
parameter, and call that instance allocator to decide which node to use for
the instance. The iallocator document describes what's expected from an
allocator script.
- gnt-cluster verify N+1 memory redundancy checks: Unless passed the
--no-nplus1-mem option gnt-cluster verify now checks that if a node is lost
there is still enough memory to fail over the instances that reside on it.
- gnt-cluster verify hooks: it is now possible to add post-hooks to
gnt-cluster verify, to check for site-specific compliance. All the hooks
will run, and their output, if any, will be displayed. Any failing hook
will make the verification return an error value.
- gnt-cluster verify now checks that its peers are reachable on the primary
and secondary interfaces
- gnt-node add now supports the --readd option, to readd a node that is still
declared as part of the cluster and has failed.
- gnt-* list commands now accept a new -o +field way of specifying output
fields, that just adds the chosen fields to the default ones.
- gnt-backup now has a new "remove" command to delete an existing export from
the filesystem.
- New per-instance parameters hvm_acpi, hvm_pae and hvm_cdrom_image_path have
been added. Using them you can enable/disable acpi and pae support, and
specify a path for a cd image to be exported to the instance. These
parameters as the name suggest only work on HVM clusters.
- When upgrading an HVM cluster to Ganeti 1.2.4, the values for ACPI and PAE
support will be set to the previously hardcoded values, but the (previously
hardcoded) path to the CDROM ISO image will be unset and if required, needs
to be set manually with gnt-instance modify after the upgrade..
- The address to which an instance's VNC console is bound is now selectable
per-instance, rather than being cluster wide. Of course this only applies
to instances controlled via VNC, so currently just applies to HVM clusters.
