v1.1

This is a big release with some major additions & improvements on v1.

Highlights:

• Start modifying facts during fact gathering phase, resolving common issues with interdependent operations, expand documentation on this (docs)
• Implement state callback classes dramatically improving the API experience (see examples/api_deploy.py)
• Add @dockerssh connector that enables pyinfra to build Docker containers on remote machines over SSH (@charles-l)
• Add global precondition and postcondition operation arguments
• Fix using su_user on BSD/MacOS systems
• Rework verbosity flags and add noop logging (ie package X is already installed) (docs)

Notable change:

The yum.packages and dnf.packages operations have changed their "version join" string value - both package managers use - to join name + version while allowing - in the name. This leads to ambiguous behaviour for packages containing dashes, as such the version join value has been changed to = - meaning it can now actually be used! This means to specify a specific version of a yum/dnf package you should use <name>=<version> rather than <name>-<version>.

Smaller bits:

• Add REQUIRE_PYINFRA_VERSION config option (& deprecate MIN_PYINFRA_VERSION)
• Validate existing files in file.download with checksum arguments (@sysadmin75)
• Stop stripping fact output (fixes command fact, @sysadmin75)

v1.0

The first 1.x release!

This release deprecates a lot of old/legacy pyinfra code and brings fourth a new, stable API. So long as you see no warnings when executing pyinfra, upgrading should require no chanages.

What's new:

• Add new global name argument to name operations (deprecate set as the first argument)
• Improve unexpected fact error handling, bad exit codes will be treated as errors unless the fact explicitly expects this could happen (system package managers for example)
• [CLI] write progress/user info/logs to stderr only
• [API] Consistent ordering when add_op and add_deploy functions
• [API] Return a dictionary of host -> OperationMeta when using add_op
• Enable passing a list of modules to server.modprobe (@FooBarQuaxx)
• Support Path objects in files.[file|directory|link] operations
• Support shasum (MacOS) in sha1_file fact

Breaking changes:

• Deprecate using set as the first/name argument for operations
• Rename files.* arguments (name -> path, destination -> dest)
• Rename server.* arguments (name -> user|group|cron_name|key|path, filename -> src)
• Rename mysql.* + postgresql.* arguments (name -> user|database|role)
• Rename init.* arguments (name -> service)
• Rename lxd.container argument name -> id
• Rename git.repo argumenets source -> src & target -> dest
• Rename iptables.chain argument name -> chain
• Rename python.call argument func -> function
• Rename size -> mask_bits inside network_devices fact
• Change default of interpolate_variables from True -> False
• Remove deprecatedhosts/when/op global operation arguments
• Rename reprecated Config.TIMEOUT -> Config.CONNECT_TIMEOUT
• Remove deprecated use_ssh_user argument from git.repo operation
• Remove deprecated python.execute operation

• Remove deprecated add_limited_op function
• Remove deprecated legacy CLI support
