We're happy to announce the release of openATTIC version 2.0.11. One of the highlights of this release is, that we've made further progress regarding the Ceph-related development:

In addition to the pool list of our last release, it is now possible to list placement groups and view the Ceph cluster status. Besides the ability to display a list of OSDs, we have added a drop-down menu to be able to select the current Ceph cluster in the WebUI on all Ceph pages. Once a cluster has been selected, the GUI will keep the selection when switching between Ceph-pages.

Furthermore, the functionality to add a volume in the GUI has been extended. It now offers all supported volume types to the user, depending on the selected pool. When selecting a volume type, the WebUI will offer a description text which also links to an external article with additional information about the selected type. This should make the decision easier for the user when considering which one would be best for the user's purpose.

As requested by a customer, we have added the possibility to openATTIC to grow the size of Btrfs pools.

Also, we fixed a bunch of bugs, extended and updated the documentation and took care of quality assurance as well.

Please note that 2.0.11 is still a beta version. As usual, handle with care and make sure to create backups of your data!

We would like to thank everyone who contributed to this release! Special thanks to the folks from SUSE for their feedback and support.
