1.4.0 - 2017-10-02

• Let plugins add type of lists to show with the list command. [fschulze]

• Use server and instance consistently. [fschulze]

• Always make instances accessible by their full name in the form of “[master_id]-[instance_id]”. Only if there is no conflict, the short version with just “[instance_id]” is also available for convenience. [fschulze]

• Catch socket errors in init_ssh_key of plain instances to print additional info for debugging. [fschulze]

• Delay setting of config file path to expose too early use of config in plugins. Refs #29 [fschulze]

1.0rc4 - 2014-05-21

• Copy massagers in ConfigSection.copy, so overrides in startup script work correctly. [fschulze]

1.0rc3 - 2014-05-15

• Fetch fingerprints only when necessary. This speeds up connections when the fingerprint in known_hosts is still valid. [fschulze]

1.0rc2 - 2014-05-14

• Moved setuptools-git from setup.py to .travis.yml, it’s only needed for releases and testing. [fschulze]

• More tests. [fschulze]

• Add option to ask for manual fingerprint validation for plain instances. [fschulze]

0.12 - 2013-09-11

• There is no need to add the AWS account id to security group names anymore. [fschulze]

• Rules are removed from security groups if they aren’t defined in the config. [fschulze]

• Allow adding of custom config massagers from inside the config. [fschulze]

• Support block device maps to enable use of more than one ephemeral disk. [fschulze]

• Added do method on ec2 and plain instances which allows to call fabric commands. [fschulze]

• Add option ssh-key-filename to point to a private ssh key for ec2 and plain instances. [fschulze]

• Fix Fabric integration for newer versions of Fabric. [fschulze]

0.10 - 2012-06-04

• Fix several problems with using a user name other than root for the do and ssh commands. [fschulze]

• Require Fabric >= 1.3.0. [fschulze]

• Require boto >= 2.0. [fschulze]

• Added hook for startup script options. [fschulze]

• Added help command which provides some info for zsh autocompletion. [fschulze]

0.8 - 2010-04-21

• For the do command the Fabric options reject_unknown_hosts and disable_known_hosts now default to true. [fschulze]

• Allow adding normal servers to use with ssh and do commands. [fschulze]

• Remove comment lines from startup script if it’s starting with #!/bin/sh or #!/bin/bash. [fschulze]

• Removed -r option for start and debug commands and replaced it with more general -o option. [fschulze]

• Made startup script optional (not all AMIs support it, especially Windows ones). [fschulze]

• The stop command actually only stops an instance now (only works with instances booted from an EBS volume) and the new terminate command now does what stop did before. [fschulze]

• Better error message when no console output is available for ssh finger print validation. [fschulze]

• Fixed indentation in documentation. [natea (Nate Aune), fschulze]

0.3 - 2010-02-08
