[[!meta title="vmdb2 versions 0.14 and 0.14.1 released"]]
[[!tag announcement]]
[[!meta date="2020-04-05 16:22"]]
Version 0.14.1
------------------------------------
This is a bug fix release to fix bugs in the 0.14 release that slipped
through due to insufficient testing.
* The shell plugin source file was misnamed. Fixed now.
* Fixes to problems found while building real images. The new
`check-external` script builds my own images, and Debian's Raspberry
Pi images.
Version 0.14, released 2020-03-21
------------------------------------
It has been two years since the previous release. These release notes
are a little sketchy.
* All plugins now provide exactly one type of step. This is a little
simpler than having multiple steps provided by the same plugin.
Simplicity is good.
* There is now some better automated testing.
* vmdb2 now checks at start time that all required keys are set for
all steps and that keys have values of the correct type.
* Source code for vmdb2 is now hosted on gitlab.com and git.liw.fi,
moved there from GitHub.
* Fixed smoke test timeout for starting a VM to 5 min. The previous
timeout (30 s) was short enough that tests often failed because of
it.
* The `debootstrap` action now finishes with `apt-get update`. For
some reason thing had changed so that this became necessary.
* Christian Schlüter added the optional `label` field to the `mkfs`
step to set the filesystem label upon creation.
* Changed the `grub` step to take an optional `image-dev` field to
override the heuristics for finding the device where GRUB is to be
installed. This was necessary to allow vmdb2 to install Debian onto
real hardware.
* The smoke test now tests a UEFI image as well.
* The rootfs unpacking action now copies `/etc/resolv.conf` into the
chroot, overwriting what the tarball has. This allows vmdb2 to work
with a tarball generated in a different network location.
* Add plugins for doing full-disk encryption via cryptsetup, and LVM2.
* There is now some documentation.
* Christian Schlüter added support for f2fs labels in the `mkfs` step.
* Step runners may now implement the `run_even_if_skipped` method to
have code that is run whether the step is skipped or not. The
`debootstrap` step now uses this to run `apt-get update` always.
This allows a rootfs tarball that is old to be used, without the
Packages files being too old to be usable.
* The `cache_rootfs` step now caches all the explicitly mounted
filesystems, not just the root filesystem.
