ARA 0.16.6 is a maintenance release for users that are not yet using ARA 1.x. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Changes since 0.16.5: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Fixed web application crash due to encoding/decoding of binary non-ascii |
|
|
|
content in task results |
|
|
|
- The [sqlite middleware](https://ara.readthedocs.io/en/stable-0.x/advanced.html) |
|
|
|
was adapted to support running under gunicorn as well as mod_wsgi |
|
|
|
- ``python -m ara.setup.env`` now returns commands that use bash expansion to |
|
|
|
take into account existing environment variables |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Eventual end of life for ARA 0.x |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All new feature and development effort for more than a year has been spent on |
|
|
|
the master branch of ARA which is the basis of version 1.x releases. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In fact, 0.x and 1.x are vastly different code bases at this point. |
|
|
|
They are diverging by more than 400 commits and 1.x features a completely |
|
|
|
re-written backend which includes many new features, notably a new REST API. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Users are encouraged to try the latest release of ARA, currently [1.2.0](https://ara.recordsansible.org/blog/2019/11/06/announcing-the-release-of-ara-records-ansible-1.2/), |
|
|
|
and create issues on [GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-community/ara/issues) |
|
|
|
if they encounter any problems or missing features. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ARA 0.16.6 could be the last release of ARA 0.x if no major issues are found. |
|
