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.

|
|
This is a fairly quiet release, and I'm mostly doing this to have a
|
|
permanent tag before I start really breaking git master.
|
|
|
|
I'd like to apologize for things being kind of quiet. I've had to focus
|
|
on life and making money to pay my bills, and I've been struggling a
|
|
bit to complete some of the tougher algorithmic parts that I think are
|
|
necessary for a solid MVP. Hopefully I will succeed, but to do so, it's
|
|
going to be easier if I break git master and then sort things out
|
|
later.
|
|
|
|
I'm feeling optimistic about the future, although help with some
|
|
complex concurrent programming would certainly be appreciated.
|
|
|
|
With that, here are a few highlights from the release:
|
|
|
|
* We're using go.mod, but I'm not keeping it up-to-date regularly yet.
|
|
|
|
* We have an os.system(`cmd`) function!
|
|
|
|
* We replaced go-bindata with the embed package.
|
|
|
|
* We added a hetzner vm resource.
|
|
|
|
* We did a giant lang/ package refactor.
|
|
|
|
* Printf supports %v now (any type).
|
|
|
|
And much more...

NEWS
|
|
|
|
* We have our Libera IRC channel bridged to Matrix, so you can join
|
|
that way too.
|
|
|
|
* We're looking for help writing Amazon, Google, DigitalOcean, Hetzner,
|
|
etc, resources if anyone is interested, reach out to us. Particularly
|
|
if there is support from those organizations as well.
|
|
|
|
* Many other bug fixes, changes, etc...
|
|
|
|
* See the git log for more NEWS, and for anything notable I left out!
|
|
|
|
BUGS
|
|
|
|
* Function values as args don't work yet. This is blocking us from
|
|
implementing functions like map/reduce/filter, because they'd want to
|
|
receive a function as input.
|
|
|
|
(This is the exact message I wrote last time. I've made a lot of
|
|
progress since then, but motivation here has been low. Reach out if you
|
|
can help.)

|
|
