Changes in version 1.0
This page lists all changes made to Fabric in its 1.0.0 release.
Highlights
* #7: run/sudo now allow full interactivity with the remote end. You can
interact with remote prompts and similar interfaces, making certain tasks much
easier, and freeing you from the need to find noninteractive solutions if you
don't want to. See Interaction with remote programs for more on these changes.
* put and get received many updates, including but not limited to: recursion,
globbing, inline sudo capability, and increased control over local file paths.
See the individual ticket line-items below for details. Erich Heine (sophacles
on IRC) played a large part in implementing and/or collecting these changes and
deserves much of the credit.
* Added functionality for loading fabfiles which are Python packages
(directories) instead of just modules (single files). This allows for easier
organization of nontrivial fabfiles and paves the way for task namespacing in
the near future. See Fabfile discovery for details.
* #185: Mostly of interest to those contributing to Fabric itself, Fabric
now leverages Paramiko to provide a stub SSH and SFTP server for use during runs
of our test suite. This makes quick, configurable full-stack testing of Fabric
(and, to an extent, user fabfiles) possible.
Backwards-incompatible changes
The below changes are backwards incompatible and have the potential to break
your 0.9.x based fabfiles!
* contains and append previously had the filename argument in the second
position, whereas all other functions in the contrib.files module had filename
as the first argument. These two functions have been brought in line with the
rest of the module.
* sed now escapes single-quotes and parentheses in addition to forward
slashes, in its before and after kwargs. Related to, but not entirely contained
within, #159.
* The user and pty kwargs in sudo's signature have had their order swapped
around to more closely match run.
* As part of the changes made in #7, run and sudo have had the default value
of their pty kwargs changed from False to True. This, plus the addition of the
combine_stderr kwarg/env var, may result in significant behavioral changes in
remote programs which operate differently when attached to a tty.
* #61: put and get now honor the remote current-working-directory changes
applied by cd. Previously they would always treat relative remote paths as being
relative to the remote home directory.
* #79: get now allows increased control over local filenames when downloading
single or multiple files. This is backwards incompatible because the default
path/filename for downloaded files has changed. Thanks to Juha Mustonen, Erich
Heine and Max Arnold for brainstorming solutions.
* #88: local has changed the default value of its capture kwarg, from True
to False. This was changed in order to be more intuitive, at the cost of no
longer defaulting to the same rich return value as in run/sudo (which is still
available by specifying capture=True.)
* #121: put will no longer automatically attempt to mirror local file modes.
Instead, you?ll need to specify mirror_local_mode=True to get this behavior.
Thanks to Paul Smith for a patch covering part of this change.
* #172: append has changed the default value of its partial kwarg from True
to False in order to be safer/more intuitive.
* #221: runs_once now memoizes the wrapped task's return value and returns
that value on subsequent invocations, instead of returning None. Thanks to Jacob
Kaplan-Moss and Travis Swicegood for catch + patch.
Feature additions
* Prerelease versions of Fabric (starting with the 1.0 prereleases) will now
print the Git SHA1 hash of the current checkout, if the user is working off of a
Git clone of the Fabric source code repository.
* Added path context manager for modifying commands? effective $PATH.
* Added convenience .succeeded attribute to the return values of
run/sudo/local which is simply the opposite of the .failed attribute. (This
addition has also been backported to Fabric's 0.9 series.)
* Refactored SSH disconnection code out of the main fab loop into
disconnect_all, allowing library users to avoid problems with non-fabfile Python
scripts hanging after execution finishes.
* #2: Added use_sudo kwarg to put to allow uploading of files to privileged
locations. Thanks to Erich Heine and IRC user npmap for suggestions and patches.
* #23: Added prefix context manager for easier management of persistent state
across commands.
* #27: Added environment variable (always_use_pty) and command-line flag
(--no-pty) for global control over the run/sudo pty argument.
* #28: Allow shell-style globbing in get. Thanks to Erich Heine and Max Arnold.
* #55: run, sudo and local now provide access to their standard error (stderr)
as an attribute on the return value, alongside e.g. .failed.
* #148: local now returns the same 'rich' string object as run/sudo do, so
that it is a string containing the command's stdout (if capture=True) or the
empty string (if capture=False) which exposes the .failed and .return_code
attributes, and so forth.
* #151: Added a puts utility function, which allows greater control over
fabfile-generated (as opposed to Fabric-generated) output. Also added fastprint,
an alias to puts allowing for convenient unbuffered, non-newline-terminated
printing.
* #192: Added per-user/host password cache to assist in multi-connection
scenarios.
* #193: When requesting a remote pseudo-terminal, use the invoking terminal's
dimensions instead of going with the default.
* #217: get/put now accept file-like objects as well as local file paths for
their local_path arguments.
* #245: Added the lcd context manager for controlling local's current working
directory and put/get's local working directories.
* #274: put/get now have return values which may be iterated over to access
the paths of files uploaded remotely or downloaded locally, respectively. These
return values also allow access to .failed and .succeeded attributes, just like
run and friends. (In this case, .failed is actually a list itself containing any
paths which failed to transfer, which naturally acts as a boolean as well.)
Bugfixes
* N/A
Documentation updates
* API, tutorial and usage docs updated with the above new features.
* README now makes the Python 2.5+ requirement up front and explicit; some
folks were still assuming it would run on Python 2.4.
* Added a link to Python?s documentation for string interpolation in
upload_template's docstring.
Changes in version 0.9.5
The following changes were implemented in Fabric 0.9.5:
Bugfixes
* #264: Fix edge case in reboot by gracefully clearing connection cache.
* #268: Allow for @ symbols in usernames, which is valid on some systems.
Fabric's host-string parser now splits username and hostname at the last @
found instead of the first.
Very minor release.
pkgsrc changes:
- switch MASTER_SITES to pypi.python.org
upstream changes:
* Added documentation for using Fabric as a library.
* Mentioned our Twitter account on the main docs page.
* #290: Added escape kwarg to append to allow control over previously automatic single-quote escaping.
"Support for SMBIOS 2.6.1 and 2.7 was added. This includes new enumerated values
for recent hardware, as well as support for large memory modules and arrays, and
a new entry type for management controller host interfaces. Additionally, many
minor bugs were fixed."
per maintainer update request by PR#44548.
Changes in pkgsrc:
* Added LICENSE.
Changes:
* Versions of ipa_{ac,db,st}_mod APIs were changed to 2.
* Optimized and simplified source code of IPA.
* New parameter "ictl" in ipa.conf.
* New parameter "ctl_query_max_size" in ipa.conf.
* New parameter "value_units" in ipa.conf and ipastat.conf.
* Now "restart" and "expire" parameters are optional in ipa.conf.
* Now "limit" and "threshold" parameters in ipa.conf can be
equal to zero.
* Now ipactl can create and delete dynamic rules.
* Now ipactl accepts commands "set limit ... counter ..."
and "set threshold ... counter ...".
* If a limit or a threshold uses "null" database and if it was
initialized, then next time during initialization (when some time
related problem occurred) imitate its old state from its current
state.
* Allow to use '_' characters in macro variables names.
* Added support for ipactl's messages credentials checking for NetBSD.
* Give limitation on the depth of included files (macro variable
INCLUDE_DEPTH_MAX with default value 100).
* configure.ac was optimized.
* All manual pages were reformatted to follow traditional
typographic style.
* Now all debug messages in ipa and ipastat are written with
the "DEBUG: " prefix.
* Check correctness of names of dynamic rules and names in
received control commands.
* Check correctness of names in ipa, ipastat and ipactl
options arguments.
* Now ipa does not use SIGALRM in timeout implementation for
control socket.
* Now ipactl does not use SIGALRM in timeout implementation.
* Now non-standard function mem_vasprintf() exported to modules
returns number of characters in allocated buffer.
* Now if some configuration error occurred in included file,
then ipa and ipastat log include history, that allows much
easy identify point of failure.
* Now ipactl does not have limits on lengths of rules, limits,
thresholds names.
* In some places where EWOULDBLOCK is checked, checks for EAGAIN
were added, as it is documented in SUSv3.
* On some systems there is no strtoull(3) function, which
is part of SUSv3, check it in the configure script and
use own version if it is absent.
so much it's borderline not funny anymore.
(tested on a similar patch to libpciaccess 0.10.8, since my X still
refuses to start with libpciaccess 0.11)
from jmcneill
* In order for pftop to be built successfully with newer PF
versions (> 4.1), additional patches are necessary which were taken
from OpenBSD's ports as seen in PR pkg/44339
* Pftop compiled for another PF version will not work (properly),
so to avoid any problems we must depend on the OS version

nvramtool is a utility for reading/writing coreboot parameters and
displaying information from the coreboot table in CMOS.
The program works only on x86-based systems that use coreboot.
Some urgent patches to 3.1.3.
Class validation parse bug fixed.
Global zone handling error for solaris fixed.
Package architectures handled correctly (bug #456).
Reading and writing of key name "root-.pub" eliminated (bug #442, #453).
cf-serverd crash because of race condition on SERVER_KEYSEEN fixed.
Lock purging to avoid remnant complexity explosion (bug #430).
Some copyright notices added that got lost.
3.1.3 (Stability release)
Major memory leaks in cf-monitord, cf-execd, cf-serverd fixed (bug #427).
The daemons now show no growth even with very complex policies.
cf-serverd crash due to race condition in DeleteScope() fixed (bug #406).
Added 30 second timeout on recv() on Linux.
package_noverify_returncode implemented (bug #256).
A flexible mechanism for setting classes based on return codes of
commands has been introduced. Allows for setting promise kept,
repaired or failed based on any return codes. This is currently
implemented for commands-promises, package-manager commands and
transformer in files. In classes body, see attributes
kept_returncodes, repaired_returncodes, failed_returncodes (bug
#248, #329).
New function ip2host - reverse DNS lookup (bug #146).
3.1.2 (Scalability/efficiency release)
Big efficiency improvements by caching output from
cf-promises. Can also be used for much more efficent policy
deployment (only pull if changed).
Caching state of ps command for greater efficiency. Reloaded for each bundle.
Index class lookup improves efficiency of class evaluation for huge configurations.
Fixed issue where certain promiser strings got corrupted.
Minor memory access issues fixed.
Iterator bug introduced in 3.1.0 fixed
3.1.1 (Bugfix release)
Memory leaks in server tracked down and fixed.
List expansion bug (one list items not executed) fixed.
Security issue introduced by change of runcommand shell policy fixed.
If users defined a runcommand for cf-runagent/cf-serverd communication,
possible to execute commands.
cf-key -s command for showing key hash/IP address identity pairs
3.1.0
Change in storage of public keys. Cfengine now hashes the public key and uses this
as the keyname. Keys will be converted automatically.
The old dynamic addresses lists are deprecated.
Caching of dns and key information for greater server speed.
Change in last-seen format reflects the public key usage.
New package policy addupdate - installs package if not there and
updates it otherwise.
Support for package_changes => "bulk" in file repository as well.
New special function readstringarrayidx, similar to readstringarray,
but uses integer indeces. Very useful if first row elements are
not good identifiers (e.g. contains spaces, non-unique, etc.).
Change two log formats to use time() instead of date()
- filechanges
- total compliance
Change from using md5 to sha256 as default digest for commercial version,
community retains md5 for compat.
Commands not returning 0 in commands-promises are flagged
as repair_failed.
Adjustable timeout on connect(). Defaults to 10 seconds, adjustable
with default_timeout in agent control.
Redesign of the knowledge map infrastructure.
Now possible to use variables to call methods, e.g
methods:
"name $(list)" usebundle => $(list)("abc");
See reference manual notes
Changes to normal ordering to optimize execution.
Increased stability by always initializing Attribute and Promise
structures.
When running cf-promises in dry-run mode (-n), the user does not need
to put binaries in WORKDIR/bin. For example, non-privileged users can verify root
policies.
Source control revision added in version string if run in verbose mode
(e.g. "cf-promises -vV"). This needs some refining, uses revision of a header now.
New semantics in return values of list functions. Null values are now allowed
and there is no iteration over empty lists. The value "cf_null" is reserved for
use as a null iterator.
3.0.5p1
Showing paths allowed/denied access to when cf-serverd is run in verbose mode.
Bug in server fixed for dynamic addresses.
File handle closure bugfix - too many open databases.
Seg fault in mount files fix.
Twin used in cf-execd without checking.
Check_root set wrong directory permissions at source not destination.
Error message degraded in body definition.
Undefined body not warned as error.
Various build enahncements.
Package_list_update called only once per manager, and fixed crash.
Version number bug in packages.
3.0.5
Encryption problems fixed - client key buffer was uninitialized.
Classes-promisers are now automatically canonified when class
strings are defined, to simplifying the use of variables in classes.
New scalars sys.cf_version and sys.nova_version that hold Cfengine version information.
Attribute package_delete_convention added, to allow customizable
package name in delete command during update.
package_list_update_ifelapsed limit added.
Private variable $(firstrepo) is available in package_name_convention
and package_delete_convention in order to expand the full path to
a package, which is required by some managers.
Some of the threading code is rewritten and made more robust. This includes
synchronizing access to the lastseen database from the server.
Bad initialization of BSD flags fixed
Multiple variable expansion issues in control fixed for server and agent
Allow ignore_missing_bundles to affect methods: bundles too
Run agent trust dialogue fixed
Bug in CPU monitoring, increasing time scale caused linear decay
of CPU measurement.
Bug in Setuid log storage, fix.
Hooks added for new Nova virtualization promises.
Multithreading mutex failed to collide during cfservd leading to dropped authentication under heavy load.
3.0.4
Class cancellation in promises to create better class feedback,
allows emulation of switch/case semantics etc
Value of SA measurement promises
Special function getenv() which returns the contents of an
environment variable (on all platforms).
New function translatepath for generic Windows
New function escape() to escape literals as regular expressions (like SQL)
New function host2ip for caching IP address lookup
New function regextract for setting variables with backreferences
New variables for the components $(sys.cf_agent), $(sys.cf_know) etc
pointing to the binaries.
More robust integrated database implementation; closing all
handles when receiving signals, self-healing on corruption.
Package installation on localhost without a manager like yum completed,
multiple repositories searched, and universal methods.
Numerous bugfixes
3.0.3
sha256 .. new hashes in openssl included in syntax tree.
End of line autocropping in readfile (hopefully intelligent)
hashmatch function incorrectly implemented -
old debugging code left behind. Fix.
sys.crontab variable
Unknown user is now interpretated as "same user",
so that we give cfengine a chance to fix
Unregistered addresses no longer report "(Non registered IP)",
but return as the address itself when doing reverse lookups.
(Sorry for the long commit message)
A handy shell-like interface for browsing LDAP servers and editing their
content. It keeps command history, has sane autocompletes, credential caching,
site-wide and individual configs, and it's fun to say.
