Configure your machine:

1.2.1 (2013-04-16)

Fixes:

• Start VPN if required before registering to SlapOS Master.

1.2.0 (2013-04-16)

Note: it is no longer possible to run slapprepare without either registering Node or having an existing Node configuration.

New features:

• Add support for any SlapOS Master, not only slapos.org

Fixes:

• Don’t force install slapos if already installed.

• Only ask bridge question if it is not a VM.

1.1.2 (2013-04-15)

Fix:

• Don’t raise if impossible to find slapos configuration while trying to setup bridge (bug introduced in 1.0).

1.1.1 (2013-04-15)

This is a re-release of 1.1.0, including correct “iniparse” dependency.

1.1.0 (2013-04-12)

New features:

• Will autoreboot after two minutes in case of a kernel panic.

• Ask if machine will host VMs.

1.0.0 (2013-03-07)

Initial stable release!

New features:

• Chown all files in software root and instance root when doing slapprepare. It allows easier USB key replacement.

• Fixed a bug where the hostname would contain a newline.

1.0a6 (2013-01-15)

• Machine tweaks: raise max AIO NR and nofile, set semaphore limits. This allows to run many instances of apache/mysql/zope on the same machine.

• Mount /var/log on disk in order not to touch USB key.
