3.15.1:
- `cf-check diagnose --test-write` can now be used to test writing into LMDB files
(ENT-4484)
- Added cf-postgres requirement to cf-apache and cf-hub systemd units
(ENT-5125)
- Added new binary version macros:
- `@if maximum_version(x)`
- `@else`
- `@if between_versions(x, y)`
- `@if before_version(x)`
- `@if at_version(x)`
- `@if after_version(x)`
(CFE-3198)
- Added warning if CSV parser parses nothing from a non-empty file
(CFE-3256)
- Fixed an issue causing duplicate entries in sys.interfaces, and
sys.hardware (CFE-3046)
- Fixed crashes and memory leaks in JSON and mustache code
- Fixed memory leak in handling of inline JSON in policy evaluation
- Made classfiltercsv() fail properly on invalid class expression index
- Measurements promises with no match no longer produce errors
(ENT-5171)
- Moved error reading file in countlinesmatching() from verbose to error
(CFE-3234)
- Removed (USE AT YOUR OWN RISK) from cf-key help menu for -x
(ENT-5090)
- Variable references with nested parentheses no longer
cause errors (CFE-3242)
- Version macros now accept single digits (CFE-3198)
- cf-agent: report purged dirs and files as repaired in 'files' promises (CFE-3260)
- cf-check: Added a more user friendly message when trying to print unknown binary data
(ENT-5234)
- cf-check: Added data validation for cf_lastseen.lmdb (CFE-2988)
- cf-check: Added nice printing for nova_agent_executions.lmdb
(ENT-5234)
- cf-check: Added validation for timestamps in cf_lock.lmdb (CFE-2988)
- cf-check: Added validation for timestamps in lastseen.lmdb (CFE-2988)
- cf-check: Fixed issue causing repair to target the wrong database file
(ENT-5309)
- cf-check: Symlinked LMDB databases are now preserved in repair
Performs diagnosis and repair on symlink target instead of symlink.
Repaired files / copies are placed alongside symlink target.
In some cases, the symlink target is deleted to repair a corrupt
database, and the symlink is left as a broken symlink. This is
handled gracefully by the agent, it will be recreated. Broken
symlinks are now detected as an acceptable condition in diagnose,
it won't try to repair them or delete them.
(ENT-5162)
- Fixed selection of standard_services by default when used from non-default namespace (ENT-5406)
3.15.0:
- New policy function basename() added (CFE-3196)
- Added read_module_protocol() policy function
This function reads module protocol from a file, and can be used
for caching the results of commands modules. (CFE-2973)
- The @ character is now allowed in the key of classic arrays defined
by the module protocol (CFE-3099)
- nth() policy function now supports negative indices (CFE-3194)
- Fixed .xy floating point numbers parsing in eval() (CFE-2762)
- Added inform constraint to commands promises, to allow suppression of
INFO log messages (CFE-2973)
- Changed unless constraint to be more consistent with if
For any situation where if would NOT skip a promise, unless
will cause the promise to be skipped. When there are
unresolved variables / function calls, if will skip, unless
will NOT skip. (CFE-3160)
- Default minimum allowed TLS version is now 1.1 (ENT-4616)
- Network protocol version 2 is now called "tls"
"tls" or "2" can be used in places where you specify network
protocol. Log messages were altered, to show "tls" instead of
"latest". (ENT-4406)
- Introduced protocol version 3 - "cookie"
This protocol is identical to version 2 ("tls"),
except it allows the enterprise reporting hub to send
the COOKIE command to enterprise hosts. This command is used for
detecting hosts using duplicate identities. Protocol version "latest"
now points to version 3. For community installations, it should not
make a difference, policy servers will not send this command. The only
visible difference is the new version number (in logs and policy).
(ENT-4406)
- Package modules now hit network when package cache is first initialized
(CFE-3094)
- Fixed promise skipping bug in unless (CFE-2689)
- Fixed error message for unexpanded variables in function calls in unless
(CFE-2689)
- Prevented buffer overflow when policy variable names are longer than
1024 bytes
- Zero bytes in class guards no longer cause crashes (CFE-3028)
- Fixed bug in ps parsing on OpenBSD / NetBSD causing bootstrap to fail
- Fixed crash in policy/JSON parsing of numbers with too many decimal
points (CFE-3138)
- copy_from without preserve now respects destination mode (ENT-4016)
- Removed stime_range and ttime_range constraints from promise hash
(ENT-4921)
- Fixed promise result when using process_stop in processes type promises
(ENT-4988)
- cf-execd now sends SIGKILL to the agent process in case of
agent_expireafter, after attempting SIGINT and SIGTERM (CFE-2664)
- cf-serverd now tries to accept connection multiple times (CFE-3066)
- Fixed multiple measurements tracking growth of same file (ENT-4814)
- Set create permissions of monitord files in state directory to 0600
0600 matches the permissions enforced by policy.
Affected files:
* state/cf_incoming.*
* state/cf_outgoing.*
* state/cf_users
* state/env_data
(ENT-4863)
- Clarified descriptions of io_writtendata and io_readdata (ENT-5127)
- Clarified log message about process_count and restart_class being used
concurrently (CFE-208)
- Agent runs that hit abortclasses now record results (ENT-2471)
- An ID of rhel in os-release file will now define both rhel and redhat
classes (CFE-3140)
- Version specific distro classes are now collected by default in
Enterprise (ENT-4752)
- redhat_8 and redhat_8_0 are now defined on RHEL 8 (CFE-3140)
- Added derived-from-file tag to hard classes based on /etc/redhat-release
(CFE-3140)
- Added sys.bootstrap_id policy variable containing the ID from
/var/cfengine/bootstrap_id.dat, if present (CFE-2977)
- sys.interfaces now contains interfaces even when they only have
IPv6 addresses (ENT-4858)
- IPv6-only interfaces added to sys.hardware_(addresses,mac) (CFE-3164)
- IPv6 addresses are now added to policy variable sys.ip_addresses
(CFE-682)
- IPv6 addresses now respect ignored_interfaces.rx (CFE-3156)
- hostname now allowed in bindtoaddress (CFE-3190)
- Fixed issue when removing comments from files in various policy functions
This also fixes many erroneous occurences of the error message
mentioning:
[...] because it legally matches nothing
(A warning can still appear if a comment regex actually matches nothing).
Also made this comment removing logic faster.
Affected functions include:
* readstringlist()
* readintlist()
* readreallist()
* peers()
* peerleader()
* peerleaders()
* data_readstringarray()
* data_readstringarrayidx()
* data_expand()
* readstringarray()
* readstringarrayidx()
* readintarray()
* readrealarray()
* parsestringarray()
* parsestringarrayidx()
* parseintarray()
* parserealarray()
(CFE-3188, ENT-5019)
- Fixed memory leak in JSON / env file parsing (CFE-3210)
- Fixed memory leak in handling of nfs / fstab (CFE-3210)
- Fixed memory leak in string_replace() and regex_replace() (CFE-3210)
- Fixed memory leak when using with constraint (CFE-3210)
- Fixed minor memory leak in policy evaluation (CFE-3210)
- Fixed small memory leak in SQL database promises (CFE-3210)
- Received SIGBUS now triggers a repair of local DBs (CFE-3127)
- Corrupted LMDB files are now automatically repaired (CFE-3127)
- Keys in the lock database, cf_lock.lmdb, are now human-readable
(CFE-2596)
- Local databases now use synchronous access on AIX and Solaris (ENT-4002)
- Report corrupted local database with a critical log message (CFE-2469)
- Local DB errors are now logged with the particular DB file path (CFE-2469)
- cf-check: repair now preserves readable data in corrupted LMDB files
(CFE-3127)
- cf-check: --dump option was added to the backup command
- cf-check: Added --no-fork to diagnose command (CFE-3145)
- cf-check: Added -M manpage option and other common options (CFE-3082)
- cf-check: No DB files in state dir now causes errors
- cf-check: dump command now dumps DB contents to JSON5 (CFE-3126)
- cf-check: help command can now take a topic as argument
3.14.0:
- A bootstrap_id.dat file is now generated on every bootstrap
(CFE-2977)
- Added options to cf-net to set minimum TLS version and ciphers
(ENT-4617)
- Added --no-truncate option to cf-key
This option, when used with --show-hosts changes the formatting
of the output. Instead of padding and truncating each of the
fields, they are printed, in full, with no padding, and separated
by a single tab character. The output is not as pretty, but should
be more useful for parsing by other scripts / tooling. (CFE-3036)
- Added a new option --skip-db-check to agent and execd
This option allows you to enable/disable database (LMDB) consistency
checks. Initially it is disabled by default, but this will likely
change. (CFE-2893)
- Added a new utility to contrib: cf-remote
cf-remote is a python + fabric tool to log in to remote hosts
you have ssh access to. It can be used to download, transfer,
and install cfengine packages as well as bootstrapping etc.
At this point, cf-remote is not packaged with CFEngine, but can be
installed separately from:
https://github.com/cfengine/core/tree/master/contrib/cf-remote
(CFE-2889)
- Added derived-from-file tags to hard classes based on /etc/debian_version and /etc/issue
- Added a function to filter CSV-files by classes (CFE-2768)
- Forward slash is now an allowed character in module protocol commands
(CFE-2478)
- Augments files can now handle class expressions by appending '::'
A condition in an augments file is treated as a class expression
if it ends in ::. Otherwise it is treated as a regular
expression. (CFE-2954)
- Internal ps command can now handle longer usernames (CFE-2951)
- Made copylink_pattern honor '/../' in copy source (CFE-2960)
- CSV parser now supports CRLF inside double quotes (ENT-4504)
- Added an error when a function defining a variables still fails at
pass 3 (CFE-2983)
- Documented cf-execd and cf-serverd response to SIGHUP in manpage
(CFE-2853)
- Stopped trimming leading zeroes in ubuntu minor version class
The old version detection logic (using /etc/debian_version) was
converting the minor version part to an integer, defining
ubuntu_18_4 instead of ubuntu_18_04. The new platform detection
(based on /etc/os-release) defines ubuntu_18_04. Since both old
and new methods are running to maximize compatibility, both
ubuntu_18_04 and ubuntu_18_4 were defined.
This commit ensures that the old detection logic treats the
minor version (the 04 part) as a string, not an integer. The
change is specific to Ubuntu, and should affect Ubuntu 18.04,
16.04, 14.04, etc. (CFE-2882)
- SUID log permissions are now properly enforced (CFE-2919)
- Agent log file names are now always lowercase
- Extended module with file protocol for data (CFE-3050)
- Fixed a segfault in 'cf-promises -p json-full' (CFE-3019)
- Added cf-key help output to indicate ability to delete by key digest
(CFE-2997)
- Fixed disabling TLS 1.0 (CFE-3068)
- Fixed growing memory footprint of daemons (CFE-3032)
- Fixed the log message about setting collect_window (ENT-4238)
- Fixed the log message when parsing TIME in 'ps' output fails
- Fixed parsing of YAML values starting with numbers (CFE-2033)
- Fixed sys.flavor on AIX (ENT-3970)
- Fixed 6 cases where promises could get the wrong outcome
All cases were related to error handling and detected using
static code analysis (LGTM). They were limited to cf-monitord
and cf-agent (guest_environments and files promise types). Due
to a programming mistake, promise results would sometimes be
overwritten with 'skipped' outcome. Keeping the previous
value or making the promises 'not kept' is expected behavior.
Added a query to our CI (LGTM) to make sure we catch this error
on new contributions.
- Fixed an issue while parsing ps output on AIX (ENT-4295)
- Fixed a memory leak in filesexist function (ENT-4313)
- Fixed a memory leak in mustache rendering (ENT-4313)
- Fixed a memory leak in: differences(), intersection(), unique()
(ENT-4586)
- Fixed a segfault in policy parser (ENT-4022)
- Connection cache is now global (CFE-2678)
- Increased verbosity of AcquireLock permission error (ENT-4395)
- Message about invalid class characters from module protocol moved to VERBOSE
(CFE-2887, CFE-3008)
- Prevented buffer overflows in cf-monitord data parsing
- Private keys generated by cf-key are no longer encrypted
Private key files encrypted with a broken cipher and default
hard coded passphrase provide no real security, and is only an
inconvenience. Maybe it was intended to add a password prompt
later, but it's been 10 years now, and the cipher and passphrase
remain untouched. The function which reads keys still supports
both encrypted and unencrypted keys, it will decrypt if necessary.
- Reduce SSL/TLS shutdowns on bad networks (CFE-3023)
- Removed programming error in handling of process_count body
Previously, having a failing function call inside in_range_define
or out_of_range_define would cause a programming error when
trying to define that as a class. Fixed it by detecting the
case, printing a normal error, and skipping defining the class. (CFE-2067)
- Set policy->release_id to "failsafe"/"bootstrap" when running failsafe.cf
(CFE-3031)
- Switched permissions of various temporary files in state to 0600
These files were created with 0644 permissions, and then
repaired in policy. However, since they are deleted / recreated
periodically, it causes INFO noise. Safer and better user
experience to create them with restricted permissions to
begin with.
Affected files:
* $(sys.statedir)/cf_procs
* $(sys.statedir)/cf_rootprocs
* $(sys.statedir)/cf_otherprocs
(ENT-4601)
- string_split segments are now truncated to 1024 bytes instead of
crashing (CFE-3047)
- Unresolved function calls in process_select body are now skipped
Function calls which always fail, like getuid("nosuchuser"), are
never resolved. Previously this would cause a programming error,
since the body is expected to have a list of strings, not
unresolved function calls.
The function calls are silently skipped (with a verbose message)
as this matches the behavior of calling the functions in a vars
promise, and using that as a body parameter.
(CFE-1968)
- cf-check directories can now be controlled from ENV vars (CFE-2994)
- cf-check: Added backup command
This command copies lmdb files to a timestamped backup directory.
(ENT-4064)
- cf-check: diagnose and backup now use state directory by default
(ENT-4064)
3.13.0:
- Add support for TLS 1.3 and its ciphersuites
- Add 'feature' hard classes for supported TLS versions
Different versions of TLS are supported depending on what version
of OpenSSL CFEngine was compiled and linked with. Newly added
feature hard classes bring that information to the
policy. Classes like these are now defined (for supported
versions of TLS):
feature_tls source=agent,hardclass
feature_tls_1 source=agent,hardclass
feature_tls_1_0 source=agent,hardclass
feature_tls_1_1 source=agent,hardclass
feature_tls_1_2 source=agent,hardclass
feature_tls_1_3 source=agent,hardclass
- Add a new variable $(sys.default_policy_path)
A new sys variable that provides the path of the default policy
file evaluated when no file is specified with the '-f' option.
- Add an option to skip the initial policy run on bootstrap
In some cases it may not be desired to run the policy as the last
step of the bootstrap. This can be done with the new
'--skip-bootstrap-policy-run' option for cf-agent. (CFE-2826)
- Trigger promises.cf as the last step of bootstrap (CFE-2826)
- Add support for overriding the package module's path (CFE-2103)
- Add support for setting package module interpreter (CFE-2880)
- Added --log-level option to all components
This allows you to specify any log level (info, verbose, debug etc.).
It is also less strict, allowing different spelling. As an example,
--log-level i, --log-level INFO, --log-level inform are all the same.
- Added a new binary: cf-check
Corrupt local databases (LMDB) continues to be a problem.
cf-check will be used to diagnose and remediate problems
with corrupt databases. It is a standalone binary, which
doesn't evaluate policy or use the local databases, thus
it can be used in situations where the other binaries
like cf-agent would hang.
cf-check replaces our lmdb database dumper, lmdump.
cf-check lmdump or symlinking / renaming it to lmdump
will make cf-check have the exact same behavior as lmdump.
cf-check will include much more functionality in the future
and some of the code will be added to other binaries,
for example to do health checks of databases on startup.
Ticket: (ENT-4064)
- Added function string_replace. (CFE-2850)
- Allow dots in variable identifiers with no such bundle
As described and discussed in CFE-1915, defining remote variables
(injecting variables into remote bundles) is dangerous and must
be blocked. However, using a dot-separated common prefix for
variables raises no security concerns and can be considered
valid. (CFE-1915)
- Allow requiring TLS 1.3 as the minimum version
- Apply augments after vars, classes and inputs in def.json
(CFE-2741, CFE-2844)
- Bundle name is now part of the log message when aborting a bundle
(CFE-2793)
- Class names set by module protocol are automatically canonified
(CFE-2877, CFE-2887)
- Classes failsafe_fallback and bootstrap_mode are now reported by default
- Correct log level for data_readstringarray* (CFE-2922)
- Do not iterate over JSON objects' properties in mustache (CFE-2125)
- Do not render templates when passed invalid data (CFE-2194)
- Eliminated error messages caused by attempting to kill expired processes
(CFE-2824)
- Fix cf-runalerts systemd unit conditions so the service will run
(ENT-3929)
- Fix the off-by-one error in cf-runagent background process spawning
(CFE-2873)
- Fixed OOB read / heap buffer overflow in evaluator (ENT-4136)
- Fixed a memory leak which occured when reloading RSA keys from disk
(CFE-2857)
- Fixed a memory leak which occured while loading augments files
(CFE-2913)
- Fixed an issue with splay time in cf-execd (CFE-2931)
- Fixed error handling and memory leak in cf-key (CFE-2918)
- Fixed memory leak in JSON to policy conversion (ENT-4136)
- Fixed memory leak in lmdb cleanup (CFE-2918)
- Fixed memory leaks in cf-agent during bootstrap (CFE-2918)
- Fixed memory leaks in variablesmatching() and findfiles() (CFE-2918)
- Fixed missing class with mustache templates in warn_only mode
(CFE-2600)
- Fixed small memory leak in cf-serverd (CFE-2918)
- Fixed small memory leak in cf-upgrade (ENT-4136)
- Fixed small memory leaks of environment variable strings (CFE-2918)
- LMDB database dumper, lmdump, no longer creates empty databases
(ENT-4064)
- Made variablesmatching functions treat args regexes more correctly
variablesmatching() and variablesmatching_as_data() no longer
use string comparison to find matches. The documentation is clear;
arguments should be regexes (so you have to escape special
characters).
bundle agent main
{
vars:
"myvar"
string => "example",
meta => {"os[linux]"};
"matches"
slist => variablesmatching(".*", "os\[linux\]");
reports:
"Match: $(matches)";
}
The above example is correct. If you don't escape the brackets
like above, it will no longer work. (You probably shouldn't use
brackets in tags anyway).
- Prevent the init script from managing processes inside containers
(ENT-3800)
- Read mustache-rendered files in text mode when comparing digest
(ENT-2526)
- Reload persistent classes on config reload in cf-execd and cf-serverd
(CFE-2857)
- Fixed issue with @if macro failing when it is on the first line.
(CFE-2817)
- Fixed issue with cf-agent intermittently hanging on windows
sometimes (ENT-3756)
- change GIT_BRANCH to GIT_REFSPEC and remove Design Center vars
(ENT-4023)
- os-release file is now used for hard classes and sys.flavor on all linuxes
This will improve platform detection on newer operating systems where
/etc/os-release (or /usr/lib/os-release) is present.
A hard class will be set for the value of the ID key (canonified with
underscores), if it exists. If both ID and VERSION_ID exist, multiple
hard classes will be set for all parts of the version number. The
special variable sys.flavor will also be set by determining major
version from VERSION_ID.
Example os-release file:
ID=coreos
VERSION_ID=1185.3.0
For the example above, sys.flavor will be coreos_1185 and 4 hard
classes will be set; coreos_1185_3_0, coreos_1185_3, coreos_1185,
and coreos.
For backwards compatibility, older distribution specific logic is still
executed and may overwrite sys.flavor and define hard classes as before.
- refactor use of atexit to use custom cleanup function instead. On Windows
atexit() unloads DLLs before and/or during atexit functions being called
which causes bad behavior. (ENT-3756)
3.12.0b1:
New Features:
- Add a --key-type option to specify RSA key size to cf-key
- New hash_to_int policy function (CFE-2733)
- Issue a warning on ignored locking attributes (CFE-2748)
- Add IPv6 hard classes with the "ipv6_" prefix (CFE-2310)
- Introduce "missing_ok" attribute in body copy_from
This allows to ignore missing sources in file copy operations (CFE-2365)
- Enable Xen hypervisor detection on all x86 platforms (CFE-2203)
- Add sys.policy_entry variables (CFE-2572)
- Added inline_mustache template method (CFE-1846)
- New component cf-net (cf-net is a CLI for the CFEngine network protocol,
useful for debugging, testing etc) and accompanying policy variable
sys.cf_net containing path to cf-net binary
Changes:
- Load augments at the end of context discovery
This means that classes defined as part of the context discovery
(e.g. 'am_policy_hub' and 'policy_server') can be used in the
augments (CFE-2482)
- Open measurements promise type from enterprise cf-monitord
- Transform filesexist() into a collecting function (CFE-2744)
- Load process table when actually needed for a processes promise (ENT-2536)
- Ignore commented out entries in fstab when edit_fstab is true (CFE-2198)
- Do not move obstructions in warn policy mode (CFE-2740)
- Made the max bytes parameter to file reading functions optional (CFE-2656)
- Do not tag large volatile variables for inventory
sys.interfaces_data, sys.inet and sys.inet6 are commonly larger than the
maximum data size allowed to be collected by cf-hub. Data larger than 1k
is truncated. Instead of reporting truncated data this change stops
tagging the variable so that it will not be collected to the Enterprise
hub and will not be available in Mission Portal. (ENT-3483)
- cf-execd now re-parses augments on policy reload (CFE-2406)
- Improve misleading verbose message
For constraints if/ifvarclass/unless, we now print the whole rval of the constraint.
Previously the message was just "skipping variable because ifvarclass is not defined" while the variable itself was defined.
Old message example:
verbose: Skipping promise 'mailto' because 'if'/'ifvarclass' is not defined
Changed to:
verbose: Skipping promise 'mailto' because 'ifvarclass => not(isvariable("mailto"))' is not defined
(CFE-2697)
- Promise comments for file changes moved to verbose (ENT-3414)
- Suppress output from systemctl based restart of services in
bootstrap/failsafe (CFE-1459)
- Parser can now handle larger inbut buffers (CFE-1886)
- Improve logging of ACL errors (ENT-3455)
- cf-execd systemd service now only kills cf-execd itself (ENT-3395)
- Load multiple augments from "augments" string array in def.json
(CFE-2084)
- Improve support for Alpine Linux
- Set the exit value when running cf-key
When running cf-key to generate new keys, set the exit value of the
program to be 0 on success and 1 on failure. This makes it easier to
catch errors during setup of a new machine.
Change the default behavior of the program to not write anything to stdout,
opting to use the Log() function which can write to stdout and will also
allow output to be sent to syslog.
Add a --inform option to set the global log level to LOG_LEVEL_INFO.
Change the permissions of the randseed file to 600 and catch the exception
if the chmod call fails.
- Properly reverse-resolve DNS names longer than 63 chars (ENT-3379)
- Properly redirect init script to systemd on debian systems (ENT-3326)
Bug fixes:
- Disallow modifications of variables from a remote bundle (CFE-1915)
- Speedup evalution by not copying variables table when expanding a promise
(CFE-2524)
- Resolve subkey conflicts when converting to JSON
Whenever there is a conflict of array variable definitions prefer
the container subkeys over simple values when converting to JSON
(CFE-2536)
- Do not ignore meta promises in server bundles (CFE-2066)
- Add a debug log for computed class in splayclass
- Don't error when calling isexecutable on broken link (CFE-741)
- Fix segfault when no show-evaluated-vars/classes is specified
- Fix memory leak in cf-execd, triggered when sending email failed (CFE-2712)
- Fix IPv6 parsing to be un-reversed (CFE-2580)
- Fix bug preventing permission changes on Unix sockets (CFE-1782)
- Fix storage mount promise when existing mountpoint has a similar path
(CFE-1960)
- Fix segfault when cf-promises -p is called against a file with syntax
errors (CFE-2696)
- Fix rare cf-execd hang (CFE-2719)
- Fix mergedata segfault when called on a non-container (CFE-2704)
- Do not segfault if policy_server.dat only contains whitespaces and/or line breaks
- Fix segfault on JSON policy files with no bundles and bodies (CFE-2754)
3.11.0:
New Features:
- Allow function calls in promiser using universal "with" attribute
(CFE-1092)
- Add example of with attribute (CFE-1092)
- Detect Amazon Linux and set "AmazonLinux" hard class and
sys.flavour variable
- New sysctlvalue() and data_sysctlvalues() functions from /proc/sys
(CFE-2513)
- readdata() also auto-detects .yml files as YAML
- Added support for ENV and CSV file parsing (CFE-1881)
- Added vars and classes for CoreOS (ENT-3043)
- cf-agent: implement --show-evaluated-vars and --show-evaluated-classes
- Support for custom ports and host names as policy hub (CFE-953)
- cf-promises: allows --show-vars and --show-classes to take an optional filter
- Added a new tool: cf-net. cf-net is a CLI for the CFEngine
network protocol, useful for debugging, testing etc (CFE-2493)
- New policy variable: sys.cf_net contains path to cf-net binary
- Read /etc/os-release into sys.os_release (CFE-1881)
Changes:
- readintlist() now prints an error if the
file contains real numbers, not integers, and aborts; previously it was
printing an info-level error message, was half-reading an integer out of
the real, and was continuing successfully.
- "make tar-package" should create a tarball with the contents of
"make install" (ENT-3041)
- Allow opening symlinks owned by root or by the current user
(CFE-2516)

Bugfix: getvalues() now behaves correctly for old CFEngine
arrays of depth 1
Behaviour change: it always returns a list now. Even when v is a simple
string (i.e. not an iterable) it will return an slist with one element:
the value of the string variable.
Known issues: getvalues() still misbehaves with double-indexed arrays
(see CFE-2504, CFE-2536)

example to enable all log modules, run:
cf-agent -d --log-modules=all
- Add: edit_line contains_literal_string to stdlib

- Add class to enable post transfer verification during policy updates
- Add ability to append to bundlesequnece with def.json (CFE-2460)
- policy_server.dat now appends a newline and supports host & port
Changes:
- Rewrite iteration engine to avoid combinatorial explosion with nested variable expansions.
This speeds up enormously the execution of policies that included long
slists or JSON containers, that in the past didn't even terminate.
Change: "cf_null" string literal was changed to not be something
special, and it's now a string that can be used anywhere, like
in slists or part of bundlesequence etc.
NOTE: Old policy should be grep'ed for "cf_null" and in case such
occurences were handled specially, they should be reworked.
Change: "--empty-list--" is now never printed by format(),
an empty list is now printed as "{ }".
Change: Order of pre-evaluation was slightly changed, A new "vars" pass
at the beginning of pre-evaluation was added. It used to be
classes-vars, but it was changed to vars-classes-vars. As a
result some classes or variables might be evaluated at a
different time than before. As always try to write policy code that works no matter what the
order of execution is.
One way is to always *guard* the execution of functions to avoid
bogus function results. For example the following will avoid
running execresult() bevore the file has been created:
execresult("cmd /path/to/filename") if => fileexists("/path/to/filename");
C internals: NULL Rlist is now perfectly valid, in fact it is the only
way to denote an empty Rlist.
C internals: Since a slist variable can be NULL, API of
EvalContextVariableGet() changed: The way to detect if a
variable is found, is not to check return value for NULL,
but to check returned *type* for CF_DATA_TYPE_NONE.
Fixed what I could find as wrong API uses. (CFE-2162)
- Allow arbitrary service policies (CFE-2402)

bundles set_config_values() and set_line_based() are appending a
trailing space when inserting a configuration option with empty value.
(CFE-2466)
- Behaviour change: getvalues() always returns a list now. Even when v is a simple
string (i.e. not an iterable) it will return an slist with one element:
the value of the string variable.
- Behaviour change: readintlist() now prints an error if the
file contains real numbers, not integers, and aborts; previously it was
printing an info-level error message, was half-reading an integer out of

- sys.ip2iface: new reverse mapping variable from IP to interface name
- Namespaced classes can now be specified on the command line.
- namespaces can now be passed to cf-runagent -D and --remote-bundles
(Redmine #7856)
- Add 'cf-full' and 'json-full' to cf-promises '-p' option.
They generate output based on the entire policy. The existing 'cf'
already behaved this way, and it has now been changed to generate
output only for a single file, which the existing 'json' option
already does.
- New language functions: processexists() and findprocesses()
(Redmine #7633)
- Implement new regex_replace() function. (Redmine #7346)
- Add log rotation policy for state/classes.jsonl log. (Redmine #7951)

(Redmine #7951)
- Add standard_services service_method allowing for explicit usage
- cf-promises --show-vars can now show JSON variables.
- Add json_pipe mode to mapdata(), which allows piping a
JSON container to an external program for manipulation and receiving
JSON back. The jq tool is a good example where this mode can be
useful. A corresponding $(def.jq) variable has also been added with
a default path to this tool. See documentation for mapdata() for
more information and examples. (Jira CFE-2071)
- behaviour change: "true" is always defined and "false" is never defined in a context expression.
- Add: nimclient package module for AIX
This module provides basic functionality for using nimclient as a means
to ensure packages are either present or absent. It does not support
listing package updates available or provide any special caching.

- New feature: Emails sent by cf-execd can be filtered to get
rid of emails for unwanted log messages. The attributes
mailfilter_include and mailfilter_exclude in body executor
control control what to include. See documentation for cf-execd for
more information. (Jira CFE-2283)
- Add: file_make_mustache bundle to render mustache templates
- Add '-n' flag to cf-key to avoid host name lookups.

(Redmine #7581)
- Add commands promise arglist attribute, augmenting args attribute.
- It's now possible to reference variables in inline JSON,
for example: mergedata('[ thing, { "mykey": otherthing[123] } ]').
thing and otherthing[123] will be resolved as variables, since
they are unquoted. See the documentation for more details.
(Redmine #7871)
- Allow inline JSON to be used in the following function
calls:
- data_expand()
- difference()
- every()
- filter()

For example: mergedata('[ "thing", { "mykey": "myvalue" } ]')
See the documentation for more details. (Jira CFE-2253)
- Add: edit_line contains_literal_string to stdlib
- Add body agent control select_end_match_eof option. (Jira CFE-2390)
Changes:
- Change: classesmatching(): order of classes changed
- Change: getindices(), getvalues(), variablesmatching(), maparray():
order of variables returned has changed
- Change: set_quoted_values uses bundle scoped classes
- Change: set_config_values uses bundle scoped classes
- Change: set_variable_values uses bundle scoped classes
- Change: set_config_values_matching uses bundle scoped classes
- Change: manage_variable_values_ini uses bundle scoped classes
- Change: set_line_based should use bundle scoped classes
(Jira CFE-1959)
- getvalues() will now return a list also for data containers,
and will descend recursively into the containers. (Redmine #7116)
- Change: Improve git drop user support
- Use new package promise as default package promise
implementation. (Jira CFE-2332)
- Don't follow symbolic links when copying extended attributes.
- When a bodydefault:<promise_type>_<body_type> body is
defined, it will be used by all promises of type <promise_type>
unless another body is explicitly used.
- cf-serverd no longer appends "-I -Dcfruncommand" to
cfruncommand, this has to be done manually in masterfiles
body server control. (Redmine #7732)
- eval() function arguments mode and options are now
optional.
- sort() function argument mode is now optional.
- Change: returnszero() no longer outputs the output of a command.
The output can be seen by enabling info mode (-I).
- cfruncommand is not executed under shell. (Redmine #7409)
- Remove: Apache CGI module
- Change: Make maxbytes arg of readjson() and readyaml() optional
- Classes matching agent control's abortclasses are
now printed before exit, even if they are defined in common bundles.
Previously the regex (in abortclasses) that matched the class was
printed if the class was defined in a common bundle, but the class
itself was printed if it was defined in an agent bundle. With this
change, the defined class that caused the abort is always printed.
- Remove: Support for email settings from augments_file (Redmine #7682)
- Change: set_variable_values_ini uses bundle scoped classes
- findfiles() now skips relative paths. (Redmine #7981)
- Clients connections using non TLS protocol are rejected
by default. . (Jira CFE-2339)
- Change: Policy files specified in the "inputs" section of
def.json will no longer be auto-loaded. One has to refer to the
which are using the "inputs" field inside def.json. (Redmine #7961)
- Change: Separate binary details from policy update (Redmine #7662)
- Add guard for binary upgrade during bootstrap (Redmine #7861)
- Change: Modernize pkg module and package_method
- Remove: Userdir apache module
- filestat(path, "linktarget") now follows non-absolute links and returns full path of target.
This introduces a change in behaviour. Here is an example:
$ ls -l /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jun 4 2015 /bin/sh -> dash
Previously the filestat function would return "dash", and would also log
an error that the file can not be read. Now it will return "/bin/dash"
(or the final destination if it happens that /bin/dash is also a
symlink).
You can still get the previous behaviour by using
filestat(path, "linktarget_shallow"). (Redmine #7404)
- Define (bootstrap|failsafe)_mode during update.cf when triggerd from failsafe.cf
(Redmine #7861)
- Behavior change: The promise string of a processes
promise now matches just the command line of each process instead of
the line that is output by ps. This was done to reduce fragmentation
between platforms, since ps is a very nonstandardized tool.
(Jira CFE-2161)
- Allowed namespace names made more strict, to disallow
namespaces that cannot be reached. (Redmine #7903)
- Behavior change: When using readintlist(), readreallist()
or readstringlist(), parsing an empty file will no longer result in a
failed function call, but instead an empty list. Failure to open the
file will still result in a failed function call.
- insert_lines is no longer implicitly matching EOF as
end of the region if 'select_end' pattern is not matched .
(Jira CFE-2263)
- EOF is matched as an end of the region in edit_line
promises only if 'select_end_match_eof' parameter is true.
(Jira CFE-2263)
