[ClusterLabs] Antw: crmsh 2.2.0 has been released!

[Ulrich Windl]

Hi!

I have a proposal for future release announcements:

Can you include the corresponding help texts for new features (where new
features are mentioned)?

That would have two advantages:
1) One better understands what the feature is about
2) One can quickly give feedback if the (new) help text is difficult to
understand ;-)

Regards,
Ulrich

> New features introduced in this version:
> 
> * Support for many of the new features introduced in Pacemaker
>   1.1.14, including improved support for Pacemaker Remote and
>   pattern-based fencing topology configurations.
> 
> * The cluster scripts have been greatly improved and are now used as
>   the wizards backend for hawk. Together with the improvements in the
>   cluster scripts, the crmsh template sublevel has been deprecated,
>   and all of the templates are now available as cluster scripts. The
>   template sublevel will be removed in a future version.
> 
> * The history explorer now replaces the combined log and event files
>   from hb_report using the commands crm history log and crm history
>   events. Additionally, the info summary now highlights transitions
>   that contain error logs or other potentially interesting events.
> 
> * Improved verification before committing new changes, for example
>   crmsh now warns if colocation constraints are applied to group
>   children.
> 
> * resource start / stop / restart now take multiple resource arguments.
> 
> * Added a maintenance sublevel with commands intended to simplify the
>   use of maintenance mode.
> 
> * Switched to using the python parallax library instead of pssh for
>   remote node communication. Parallax is a fork of pssh with
>   additional features added specifically for using it as a python
>   library rather than a command line tool. Packages for
>   python-parallax can be downloaded from the OBS, or it can be
>   installed from PyPI.
