Changelog highlights for v0.70.0 (also available as a tag message):

- bug fix, enhancement and, foremostly, Python 3 compatibility release
- bug fixes:
  . since v0.59.7, {ccs,pcs}2pcscmd commands were meant to emit
    hashbangs so as to make it clear which shell (e.g. bash if its
    extensions are relied upon) the suggested scripts should be run
    under, but alas, exclamation mark has been accidentally missing
    [related rhbz#1381531]
  . invocations like "clufter ccs2pcscmd | bash -x", despite being
    discouraged (review is needed for any nontrivial case, anyway),
    if "pcs cluster auth" part interactively prompting credentials
    was part of the run, they would be obtained from the piped script
    under interpreter's execution itself due to the way the descriptors
    are inherited; now there is an explicit stdin/stdout redirect
    against /dev/tty in place to prevent such undesired side-effect
- functional changes:
  . owing to the internal overhaul, *2pcscmd commands now properly
    adapt to whether the output is directed to a terminal or not
    (including piping to another command) with regards to colorizing
    and text-wrapping for reasonable line lengths unless overridden
    with explicit switches
  . commands dealing with XML format (at some internal, not necessarily
    user-facing phase; covers all *2pcs* ones) are now proofed so as
    to preserve XML attribute ordering, leading to consistent results
    (desired way beyond internal test suite)
  . better diagnostics are now provided for some previously neglected
    error conditions
- feature highlight: Python 3 support (-> minor version bump so high)
  . beside Python 2.6, clufter project now strives to support 3.2+
    as well; brand new compatibility with the latter was casually
    and unit tested (the suite was also adapted to support both),
    but some corner cases may have not been hit yet, hence this
    class of bug reports is especially appreciated
  . for the clufter as a library users: under Python 3, "bytestring"
    protocol now, due to a strict dichotomy, indeed means "passed as
    bytes (or compatible) type" (if the contrary is observed, it is
    a bug to be fixed)
  . *2pcscmd commands now state also the Python interpreter in the
    initial informative comment block to ease the troubleshooting
    in the light of newly introduced dual Python 2/3 support
  . so-called external plugins are now implicitly searched also in
    additional, Python interpreter agnostic path intended primarily
    for plugins maintaining dual Python 2/3 compatibility (in the same
    vein as core clufter as of this release)
  . meta-spec prescribing a suggested RPM packaging in a generic way
    now encompasses the above point as well as it offers python3-clufter
    subpackage, and in turn factors some shared files to other new
    subpackages (clufter-bin, clufter-common)

(rather than <https://github.com/jnpkrn/clufter>).

Official, signed releases can be found at
<https://pagure.io/releases/clufter/> or, alternatively, at
<https://people.redhat.com/jpokorny/pkgs/clufter/>
(also beware, automatic git archives preserve a "dev structure").

Natively packaged in Fedora (python-clufter, clufter-cli, ...).

Issues & suggestions can be reported at either of (regardless if Fedora)
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&component=clufter&version=rawhide>,

Happy clustering/high-availing :)
