docs: Add old release notes
These release notes used to live on the mailing list at: https://listman.redhat.com/archives/mgmtconfig-list/ until Red Hat killed off this excellent service recently. I'm adding them all here for reference. Before 0.0.9 there were no release notes.

(Yeah, that's almost 30k+ LOC)
|
||||
|
||||
There's some great new stuff that landed since 0.0.14, including:
|
||||
|
||||
* THE LANGUAGE (mcl)
|
||||
|
||||
* "Deploys": a distributed way to push code into your cluster
|
||||
|
||||
* Scheduling (as a reactive function)
|
||||
|
||||
* Better testing
|
||||
|
||||
* a move to etcd 3.3+ and golang 1.9+
|
||||
|
||||
and so much more... This is a monster release. Please try out the
|
||||
language and all the other new features today :)
|
||||

||||
NEWS
|
||||
|

* We released the language. Please play around with it :) It's time to
|
||||
get used to this cool new paradigm. Learn more from the...

And tons of code all over git master. Check the lang/ folder.
|
||||
|
||||
* There is a reactive scheduler in the language. Use your imagination,
|
||||
or play around with:

|
||||
|
||||
* There is a "deploys" feature. It's not documented yet. You should
|
||||
poke around if you're curious. Consider this an early soft release.
|
||||
|
||||
* There is a FS implementation to store files in a POSIX-like layer on
|
||||
top of etcd. It's used by deploys. It needs more tests though :)
|
||||
|
||||
* The language grew two "simple" API's for implementing functions, so
|
||||
that new functionality can be exposed in the mgmt language.
|
||||
|
||||
* The language grew two ways to specify edges between resources: either
|
||||
internal to the resource, or externally as standalone edges.
|
||||
|
||||
* The language now supports optional resource parameters via the
|
||||
"elvis" operator. This keeps things type safe and avoids needing an
|
||||
"undef" or "nil" in the language. This operator also works for edge
|
||||
declarations.
|
||||
|
||||
* New contributor Johan Bloemberg has been on fire sending patches!
|
||||
He has already made some great improvements to our Makefile for
|
||||
testing, and the addition of the env* functions in the language, with
|
||||
much more code pending in open PR's.
|
||||
|
||||
* Initial debian packaging has been added. It now needs a maintainer to
|
||||
build, upload, and love it :)
|
||||
|
||||
* We have an early emacs major mode for "mcl", our language.
|
||||
|
||||
* Lots of new documentation has been added. Particularly for developers
|
||||
wanting to contribute to the project.
|
||||
|
||||
* We're looking for help writing Google, DigitalOcean, Rackspace, etc
|
||||
resources if anyone is interested, reach out to us. Particularly if
|
||||
there is support from those organizations as well.
|
||||

||||
* See the git log for more NEWS, and for anything notable I left out!
