We're happy to announce that openATTIC version 2.0.3 beta has now been
released!
We're trying to stick to the core mantra of Open Source, by releasing early
and often. We intend to establish a cadence of publishing a new release build
roughly every 5-6 weeks. For the impatient, we also provide nightly builds
that contain all changes that have been committed into the development branch
and have passed the test suites.
One notable highlight in the 2.0.3 release is the inclusion of some additional
Ceph support in the Web UI: it is now possible to review the `CRUSH map
`_ and perform
some basic editing of the Ceph cluster layout (replication rules, placements)
this way. We're very eager on receiving feedback on this functionality, as
it's currently still under development.
We've also made some progress in adding DRBD support to the openATTIC RESTful
API - it's now possible to create and delete mirrored volumes. However, web
UI support and a method to resize existing mirrored volumes is still in the
works - we hope to deliver these missing pieces with the next release.
In addition to these new features, we fixed several bugs and usability issues.
We also added numerous additional tests to the API and UI test suites.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release!
