v1.6

A small release with a few features and fixes. Future development will utilise smaller, more regular releases to avoid long gaps waiting on feature X to be complete.

This release also changes the git branching model to use current for anything non-breaking, and the next branch now targets the next major version. This should avoid unncessary confusion for the wonderful contributors to pyinfra.

Operations:

• Make it possible to load relative (to CWD) templates (includes/bases/etc) (@themanifold)
• Add apt.dist_update operation (@bauen1)
• Fix files.Link fact & files.link operation where path pre-exists and is not a link

Connectors:

• Support setting shell_executable=None to pass raw commands to the target (@KuxaBeast)
• Fix handling of SSH proxy jump config
• Only load SSH host keys once
• Make it possible to specify a SSH config file via host.data.ssh_config_file

v1.5

This release includes a huge number of improvements, major highlights:

Automatic sudo password prompting - at last! pyinfra can now detect when a sudo password is required and will prompt the user.

Global config object - there is now a pyinfra.config object that should be used to set config variables:

from pyinfra import config
config.SUDO = True

This replaces the old style of setting SUDO = True at the top of files which was extracted via the AST. This new object means config variables can be set to anything (including the results of functions) and work across multiple deploy files.
