openATTIC 2.0.19 is now available. This is a minor release, backwards compatible, where we deliver on our promise to make openATTIC easy to use, faster and with a great GUI.

On the frontend, we improved the feedback given to the user with a better error handling, useful toasty notifications, and loading spinners. We also added the DRBD support to the graphical user interface.

Since it's spring time, we also did a bit of house cleaning! On the backend side, we removed some obsolete modules such as peering, IPMI and mdraid. We also extracted the XML RPC daemon and its related API because they have been replaced by our REST API some time ago.

Besides that, the backend offered even more room for improvement and fixes like the creation of erasure coded Ceph pools.

We believe that documentation is as important as code. That's why we made many documentation improvements for this release. For instance, we restructured and improved the format of our CHANGELOG inspired by the Keep a Changelog project.

This release also contains two external contributions submitted by Uros Lates and David Díaz. Thank you, much appreciated!

We're happy to announce that this is also the last release built from our Mercurial repository, because we have moved to... GIT! We also updated the "developer" documentation section to reflect the mercurial to git workflow changes.

During this release we moved our hardware to a new infrastructure which delayed the announcement of this version, we apologize for the inconvenience.

Please note that 2.0.19 is still a beta version. As usual, handle with care and make sure to create backups of your data!
