- - add datasource 'SmartOS' for Joyent Cloud.  Adds a dependency on serial.
- - add 'log_time' helper to util for timing how long things take
-   which also reads from uptime. uptime is useful as clock may change during

-   'seed_random' to read that and write it to /dev/urandom.
- - add OpenNebula Datasource [Vlastimil Holer]

-   settings (LP: #1090482)
- - fix CloudStack DataSource to use Virtual Router as described by
-   CloudStack documentation if it is available by searching through dhclient
-   lease files.  If it is not available, then fall back to the default
-   gateway. (LP: #1089989)
- - fix redaction of password field in log (LP: #1096417)
- - fix to cloud-config user setup.  Previously, lock_passwd was broken and
-   all accounts would be locked unless 'system' was given (LP: #1096423).
- - Allow 'sr0' (or sr[0-9]) to be specified without /dev/ as a source for
-   mounts. [Vlastimil Holer]
- - allow config-drive-data to come from a CD device by more correctly
-   filtering out partitions.  (LP: #1100545)
- - setup docs to be available on read-the-docs
-   https://cloudinit.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ (LP: #1093039)
- - add HACKING file for information on contributing
- - handle the legacy 'user:' configuration better, making it affect the
-   configured OS default user (LP: #1100920)
- - Adding a resolv.conf configuration module (LP: #1100434).  Currently only
-   working on redhat systems (no support for resolvconf)
- - support grouping linux distros into "os_families".  This allows a module
-   to operate on the family (redhat or debian) rather than the distro (ubuntu,
-   debian, fedora, rhel) (LP: #1100029)
- - fix /etc/hosts writing when templates are used (LP: #1100036)
- - add package versioning logic to package installation
-   functionality (LP: #1108047)
- - fix documentation for write_files to correctly list 'permissions'
-   rather than 'perms' (LP: #1111205)
- - cloud-init-container.conf: ensure /run/network before running ifquery
- - DataSourceNoCloud: allow user-data and meta-data to be specified
-   in config (LP: #1115833).
- - improve debian support in sysvinit scripts, package build scripts, and
-   split sources.list template to be distro specific.
- - support for resizing btrfs root filesystems [Blair Zajac]
- - fix issue when writing ssh keys to .ssh/authorized_keys (LP: #1136343)
- - upstart: cloud-init-nonet.conf trap the TERM signal, so that dmesg or other
-   output does not get a 'killed by TERM signal' message.
- - support resizing partitions via growpart or parted (LP: #1136936)
- - allow specifying apt-get command in distro config ('apt_get_command')
- - support different and user-suppliable merging algorithms for cloud-config
-   (LP: #1023179)
- - use python-requests rather than urllib2.  By using recent versions of
-   python-requests, we get https support (LP: #1067888).
- - make apt-get invoke 'dist-upgrade' rather than 'upgrade' for
-   package_upgrade. (LP: #1164147)
- - improvements for systemd with Fedora 18
- - workaround 2.6 kernel issue that stopped blkid from showing /dev/sr0
- - add new, backwards compatible merging syntax so merging of cloud-config
-   can be more useful.
-
-0.7.1:
- - sysvinit: fix missing dependency in cloud-init job for RHEL 5.6 
- - config-drive: map hostname to local-hostname (LP: #1061964)
- - landscape: install landscape-client package if not installed.
-   only take action if cloud-config is present (LP: #1066115)
- - cc_landscape: restart landscape after install or config (LP: #1070345)
- - multipart/archive.  do not fail on unknown headers in multipart
-   mime or cloud-archive config (LP: #1065116).
- - tools/Z99-cloud-locale-test.sh: avoid warning when user's shell is
-   zsh (LP: #1073077)
- - fix stack trace when unknown user-data input had unicode (LP: #1075756)
- - split 'apt-update-upgrade' config module into 'apt-configure' and
-   'package-update-upgrade-install'.  The 'package-update-upgrade-install'
-   will be a cross distro module.
- - Cleanups:
-   - Remove usage of paths.join, as all code should run through util helpers
-   - Fix pylint complaining about tests folder 'helpers.py' not being found
-   - Add a pylintrc file that is used instead options hidden in 'run_pylint'
- - fix bug where cloud-config from user-data could not affect system_info
-   settings [revno 703] (LP: #1076811)
- - for write fqdn to system config for rh/fedora [revno 704]
- - add yaml/cloud config examples checking tool [revno 706]
- - Fix the merging of group configuration when that group configuration is a
-   dict => members. [revno 707]
- - add yum_add_repo configuration module for adding additional yum repos
- - fix public key importing with config-drive-v2 datasource (LP: #1077700)
- - handle renaming and fixing up of marker names (LP: 1075980) [revno 710]
-   this relieves that burden from the distro/packaging.
- - group config: fix how group members weren't being translated correctly
-   when the group: [member, member...] format was used (LP: #1077245)
- - sysconfig: fix how the /etc/sysconfig/network should be using the fully
-   qualified domain name instead of the partially qualified domain name
-   which is used in the ubuntu/debian case (LP: #1076759)
- - fix how string escaping was not working when the string was a unicode
-   string which was causing the warning message not to be written
-   out (LP: #1075756)
- - for boto > 0.6.0 there was a lazy load of the metadata added, when
-   cloud-init runs the usage of this lazy loading is hidden and since that lazy
-   loading will be performed on future attribute access we must traverse the
-   lazy loaded dictionary and force it to full expand so that if cloud-init
-   blocks the ec2 metadata port the lazy loaded dictionary will continue
-   working properly instead of trying to make additional url calls which will
-   fail (LP: #1068801)
- - use a set of helper/parsing classes to perform system configuration
-   for easier test.  (/etc/sysconfig, /etc/hostname, resolv.conf, /etc/hosts)
- - add power_state_change config module for shutting down stystem after
-   cloud-init finishes. (LP: #1064665)
-0.7.0:
- - add a 'exception_cb' argument to 'wait_for_url'.  If provided, this
-   method will be called back with the exception received and the message.
- - utilize the 'exception_cb' above to modify the oauth timestamp in 
-   DataSourceMAAS requests if a 401 or 403 is received. (LP: #978127)
- - catch signals and exit rather than stack tracing
- - if logging fails, enable a fallback logger by patching the logging module
- - do not 'start networking' in cloud-init-nonet, but add
-   cloud-init-container job that runs only if in container and emits
-   net-device-added (LP: #1031065)
- - search only top level dns for 'instance-data' in 
-   DataSourceEc2 (LP: #1040200)
- - add support for config-drive-v2 (LP:#1037567)
- - support creating users, including the default user.
-   [Ben Howard] (LP: #1028503)
- - add apt_reboot_if_required to reboot if an upgrade or package installation
-   forced the need for one (LP: #1038108)
- - allow distro mirror selection to include availability-zone (LP: #1037727)
- - allow arch specific mirror selection (select ports.ubuntu.com on arm)
-   LP: #1028501
- - allow specification of security mirrors (LP: #1006963)
- - add the 'None' datasource (LP: #906669), which will allow jobs
-   to run even if there is no "real" datasource found.
- - write ssh authorized keys to console, ssh_authkey_fingerprints
-   config module [Joshua Harlow] (LP: #1010582)
- - Added RHEVm and vSphere support as source AltCloud [Joseph VLcek]
- - add write-files module (LP: #1012854)
- - Add setuptools + cheetah to debian package build dependencies (LP: #1022101)
- - Adjust the sysvinit local script to provide 'cloud-init-local' and have
-   the cloud-config script depend on that as well.
- - Add the 'bzr' name to all packages built
- - Reduce logging levels for certain non-critical cases to DEBUG instead of the
-   previous level of WARNING
- - unified binary that activates the various stages
-   - Now using argparse + subcommands to specify the various CLI options
- - a stage module that clearly separates the stages of the different
-   components (also described how they are used and in what order in the
-   new unified binary)
- - user_data is now a module that just does user data processing while the
-   actual activation and 'handling' of the processed user data is done via
-   a separate set of files (and modules) with the main 'init' stage being the
-   controller of this
-   - creation of boot_hook, cloud_config, shell_script, upstart_job version 2
-     modules (with classes that perform there functionality) instead of those
-     having functionality that is attached to the cloudinit object (which
-     reduces reuse and limits future functionality, and makes testing harder)
- - removal of global config that defined paths, shared config, now this is
-   via objects making unit testing testing and global side-effects a non issue
- - creation of a 'helpers.py' 
-   - this contains an abstraction for the 'lock' like objects that the various 
-     module/handler running stages use to avoid re-running a given 
-     module/handler for a given frequency. this makes it separated from 
-     the actual usage of that object (thus helpful for testing and clear lines
-     usage and how the actual job is accomplished)
-     - a common 'runner' class is the main entrypoint using these locks to
-       run function objects passed in (along with there arguments) and there
-       frequency
-   - add in a 'paths' object that provides access to the previously global
-     and/or config based paths (thus providing a single entrypoint object/type
-     that provides path information)
-       - this also adds in the ability to change the path when constructing 
-       that path 'object' and adding in additional config that can be used to 
-       alter the root paths of 'joins' (useful for testing or possibly useful
-       in chroots?)
-        - config options now avaiable that can alter the 'write_root' and the 
-         'read_root' when backing code uses the paths join() function
-   - add a config parser subclass that will automatically add unknown sections
-     and return default values (instead of throwing exceptions for these cases)
-   - a new config merging class that will be the central object that knows
-     how to do the common configuration merging from the various configuration
-     sources. The order is the following:
-     - cli config files override environment config files
-       which override instance configs which override datasource
-       configs which override base configuration which overrides
-       default configuration.
- - remove the passing around of the 'cloudinit' object as a 'cloud' variable
-   and instead pass around an 'interface' object that can be given to modules
-   and handlers as there cloud access layer while the backing of that
-   object can be varied (good for abstraction and testing)
- - use a single set of functions to do importing of modules
- - add a function in which will search for a given set of module names with
-   a given set of attributes and return those which are found
- - refactor logging so that instead of using a single top level 'log' that
-   instead each component/module can use its own logger (if desired), this
-   should be backwards compatible with handlers and config modules that used
-   the passed in logger (its still passed in)
-   - ensure that all places where exception are caught and where applicable
-     that the util logexc() is called, so that no exceptions that may occur
-     are dropped without first being logged (where it makes sense for this 
-     to happen)
- - add a 'requires' file that lists cloud-init dependencies
-   - applying it in package creation (bdeb and brpm) as well as using it
-     in the modified setup.py to ensure dependencies are installed when
-     using that method of packaging
- - add a 'version.py' that lists the active version (in code) so that code
-   inside cloud-init can report the version in messaging and other config files
- - cleanup of subprocess usage so that all subprocess calls go through the
-   subp() utility method, which now has an exception type that will provide
-   detailed information on python 2.6 and 2.7
- - forced all code loading, moving, chmod, writing files and other system
-   level actions to go through standard set of util functions, this greatly 
-   helps in debugging and determining exactly which system actions cloud-init
-   is performing
- - adjust url fetching and url trying to go through a single function that
-   reads urls in the new 'url helper' file, this helps in tracing, debugging
-   and knowing which urls are being called and/or posted to from with-in 
-   cloud-init code
-   - add in the sending of a 'User-Agent' header for all urls fetched that
-     do not provide there own header mapping, derive this user-agent from
-     the following template, 'Cloud-Init/{version}' where the version is the
-     cloud-init version number
- - using prettytable for netinfo 'debug' printing since it provides a standard
-   and defined output that should be easier to parse than a custom format
- - add a set of distro specific classes, that handle distro specific actions
-   that modules and or handler code can use as needed, this is organized into
-   a base abstract class with child classes that implement the shared 
-   functionality. config determines exactly which subclass to load, so it can
-   be easily extended as needed.
-   - current functionality
-      - network interface config file writing
-      - hostname setting/updating
-      - locale/timezone/ setting
-      - updating of /etc/hosts (with templates or generically)
-      - package commands (ie installing, removing)/mirror finding
-      - interface up/down activating
-   - implemented a debian + ubuntu subclass
-   - implemented a redhat + fedora subclass
- - adjust the root 'cloud.cfg' file to now have distrobution/path specific 
-   configuration values in it. these special configs are merged as the normal
-   config is, but the system level config is not passed into modules/handlers
-   - modules/handlers must go through the path and distro object instead
- - have the cloudstack datasource test the url before calling into boto to 
-   avoid the long wait for boto to finish retrying and finally fail when
-   the gateway meta-data address is unavailable
- - add a simple mock ec2 meta-data python based http server that can serve a
-   very simple set of ec2 meta-data back to callers
-      - useful for testing or for understanding what the ec2 meta-data 
-        service can provide in terms of data or functionality
- - for ssh key and authorized key file parsing add in classes and util
-   functions that maintain the state of individual lines, allowing for a
-   clearer separation of parsing and modification (useful for testing and
-   tracing)
- - add a set of 'base' init.d scripts that can be used on systems that do
-   not have full upstart or systemd support (or support that does not match
-   the standard fedora/ubuntu implementation)
-   - currently these are being tested on RHEL 6.2
- - separate the datasources into there own subdirectory (instead of being
-   a top-level item), this matches how config 'modules' and user-data
-   'handlers' are also in there own subdirectory (thus helping new developers
-   and others understand the code layout in a quicker manner)
- - add the building of rpms based off a new cli tool and template 'spec' file
-   that will templatize and perform the necessary commands to create a source
-   and binary package to be used with a cloud-init install on a 'rpm'
-   supporting system
-   - uses the new standard set of requires and converts those pypi requirements
-     into a local set of package requirments (that are known to exist on RHEL
-     systems but should also exist on fedora systems)
- - adjust the bdeb builder to be a python script (instead of a shell script)
-   and make its 'control' file a template that takes in the standard set of
-   pypi dependencies and uses a local mapping (known to work on ubuntu) to
-   create the packages set of dependencies (that should also work on
-   ubuntu-like systems)
- - pythonify a large set of various pieces of code
-   - remove wrapping return statements with () when it has no effect
-   - upper case all constants used
-   - correctly 'case' class and method names (where applicable)
-   - use os.path.join (and similar commands) instead of custom path creation
-   - use 'is None' instead of the frowned upon '== None' which picks up a large
-     set of 'true' cases than is typically desired (ie for objects that have
-     there own equality)
-   - use context managers on locks, tempdir, chdir, file, selinux, umask, 
-     unmounting commands so that these actions do not have to be closed and/or
-     cleaned up manually in finally blocks, which is typically not done and
-     will eventually be a bug in the future
-   - use the 'abc' module for abstract classes base where possible
-      - applied in the datasource root class, the distro root class, and the
-        user-data v2 root class
- - when loading yaml, check that the 'root' type matches a predefined set of
-   valid types (typically just 'dict') and throw a type error if a mismatch
-   occurs, this seems to be a good idea to do when loading user config files
- - when forking a long running task (ie resizing a filesytem) use a new util
-   function that will fork and then call a callback, instead of having to
-   implement all that code in a non-shared location (thus allowing it to be
-   used by others in the future)
- - when writing out filenames, go through a util function that will attempt to
-   ensure that the given filename is 'filesystem' safe by replacing '/' with
-   '_' and removing characters which do not match a given whitelist of allowed
-   filename characters
- - for the varying usages of the 'blkid' command make a function in the util
-   module that can be used as the single point of entry for interaction with
-   that command (and its results) instead of having X separate implementations
- - place the rfc 8222 time formatting and uptime repeated pieces of code in the
-   util module as a set of function with the name 'time_rfc2822'/'uptime'
- - separate the pylint+pep8 calling from one tool into two indivudal tools so
-   that they can be called independently, add make file sections that can be 
-   used to call these independently
- - remove the support for the old style config that was previously located in
-   '/etc/ec2-init/ec2-config.cfg', no longer supported!
- - instead of using a altered config parser that added its own 'dummy' section
-   on in the 'mcollective' module, use configobj which handles the parsing of
-   config without sections better (and it also maintains comments instead of
-   removing them)
- - use the new defaulting config parser (that will not raise errors on sections
-   that do not exist or return errors when values are fetched that do not
-   exist) in the 'puppet' module
- - for config 'modules' add in the ability for the module to provide a list of 
-   distro names which it is known to work with, if when ran and the distro
-   being used name does not match one of those in this list, a warning will be
-   written out saying that this module may not work correctly on this
-   distrobution
- - for all dynamically imported modules ensure that they are fixed up before 
-   they are used by ensuring that they have certain attributes, if they do not
-   have those attributes they will be set to a sensible set of defaults instead
- - adjust all 'config' modules and handlers to use the adjusted util functions
-   and the new distro objects where applicable so that those pieces of code can
-   benefit from the unified and enhanced functionality being provided in that
-   util module
- - fix a potential bug whereby when a #includeonce was encountered it would
-   enable checking of urls against a cache, if later a #include was encountered
-   it would continue checking against that cache, instead of refetching (which
-   would likely be the expected case)
- - add a openstack/nova based pep8 extension utility ('hacking.py') that allows
-   for custom checks (along with the standard pep8 checks) to occur when
-   running 'make pep8' and its derivatives
- - support relative path in AuthorizedKeysFile (LP: #970071).
- - make apt-get update run with --quiet (suitable for logging) (LP: #1012613)
- - cc_salt_minion: use package 'salt-minion' rather than 'salt' (LP: #996166)
- - use yaml.safe_load rather than yaml.load (LP: #1015818)

-   [Lorin Hochstein] (LP: #960564)
-
-0.6.2:
- - fix bug where update was not done unless update was explicitly set.
-   It would not be run if 'upgrade' or packages were set to be installed
- - fix bug in part-handler code, that prevented working part-handlers
-   (LP: #739694)
- - fix bug in resizefs cloud-config that would cause trace based on
-   failure of 'blkid /dev/root' (LP: #726938)
- - convert dos formated files to unix for user-scripts, boothooks,
-   and upstart jobs (LP: #744965)
- - fix bug in seeding of grub dpkg configuration (LP: #752361) due
-   to renamed devices in newer (natty) kernels (/dev/sda1 -> /dev/xvda1)
- - make metadata urls configurable, to support eucalyptus in
-   STATIC or SYSTEM modes (LP: #761847)
- - support disabling byobu in cloud-config
- - run cc_ssh as a cloud-init module so it is guaranteed to run before
-   ssh starts (LP: #781101)
- - make prefix for keys added to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys configurable
-   and add 'no-port-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding'
-   to the default (LP: #798505)
- - make 'cloud-config ready' command configurable (LP: #785551)
- - make fstab fields used to 'fill in' shorthand entries configurable
-   This means you do not have to have 'nobootwait' in the values
-   (LP: #785542)
- - read /etc/ssh/sshd_config for AuthorizedKeysFile rather than
-   assuming ~/.ssh/authorized_keys (LP: #731849)
- - fix cloud-init in ubuntu lxc containers (LP: #800824)
- - sanitize hosts file for system's hostname to 127.0.1.1 (LP: #802637)
- - add chef support (cloudinit/CloudConfig/cc_chef.py) (LP: ##798844)
- - do not give trace on failure to resize in lxc container (LP: #800856)

- - support for passing public and private keys to mcollective via cloud-config
- - support multiple staticly configured network devices, as long as
-   all of them come up early (LP: #810044)
- - Changes to handling user data mean that:
-   * boothooks will now run more than once as they were intended (and as
-     bootcmd commands do)
-   * cloud-config and user-scripts will be updated from user data every boot
- - Fix issue where 'isatty' would return true for apt-add-repository.
-   apt-add-repository would get stdin which was attached to a terminal
-   (/dev/console) and would thus hang when running during boot.  (LP: 831505)
-   This was done by changing all users of util.subp to have None input unless
-   specified
- - Add some debug info to the console when cloud-init runs.
-   This is useful if debugging, IP and route information is printed to the 
-   console.
- - change the mechanism for handling .ssh/authorized_keys, to update entries
-   rather than appending.  This ensures that the authorized_keys that are
-   being inserted actually do something (LP: #434076, LP: #833499)
- - log warning on failure to set hostname (LP: #832175)
- - upstart/cloud-init-nonet.conf: wait for all network interfaces to be up
-   allow for the possibility of /var/run != /run.
- - DataSourceNoCloud, DataSourceOVF : do not provide a default hostname.
-   This way the configured hostname of the system will be used if not provided
-   by metadata (LP: #838280)
- - DataSourceOVF: change the default instance id to 'iid-dsovf' from 'nocloud'
- - Improve the OVF documentation, and provide a simple command line
-   tool for creating a useful ISO file.
-
-0.6.1:
- - fix bug in fixing permission on /var/log/cloud-init.log (LP: #704509)
- - improve comment strings in rsyslog file tools/21-cloudinit.conf
- - add previous-instance-id and previous-datasource files to datadir
- - add 'datasource' file to instance dir
- - add setting of passwords and enabling/disabling of PasswordAuthentication
-   for sshd.  By default no changes are done to sshd.
- - fix for puppet configuration options (LP: #709946) [Ryan Lane]
- - fix pickling of DataSource, which broke seeding.
- - turn resize_rootfs default to True
- - avoid mounts in DataSourceOVF if 'read' on device fails
-   'mount /dev/sr0' for an empty virtual cdrom device was taking 18 seconds
- - add 'manual_cache_clean' option to select manual cleaning of
-   the /var/lib/cloud/instance/ link, for a data source that might
-   not be present on every boot
- - make DataSourceEc2 retries and timeout configurable
- - add helper routines for apt-get update and install
- - add 'bootcmd' like 'runcmd' to cloud-config syntax for running things early
- - move from '#opt_include' in config file format to conf_d.
-   ie, now files in /etc/cloud.cfg.d/ is read rather than reading
-   '#opt_include <filename>' or '#include <filename>' in cloud.cfg
- - allow /etc/hosts to be written from hosts.tmpl. which allows
-   getting local-hostname into /etc/hosts (LP: #720440)
- - better handle startup if there is no eth0 (LP: #714807)
- - update rather than append in puppet config [Marc Cluet]
- - add cloud-config for mcollective [Marc Cluet]
-0.6.0:
- - change permissions of /var/log/cloud-init.log to accomodate
-   syslog writing to it (LP: #704509)
- - rework of /var/lib/cloud layout
- - remove updates-check (LP: #653220)
- - support resizing / on first boot (enabled by default)
- - added support for running CloudConfig modules at cloud-init time
-   rather than cloud-config time, and the new 'cloud_init_modules'
-   entry in cloud.cfg to indicate which should run then.
-   The driving force behind this was to have the rsyslog module
-   able to run before rsyslog even runs so that a restart would
-   not be needed (rsyslog on ubuntu runs on 'filesystem')
- - moved setting and updating of hostname to cloud_init_modules
-   this allows the user to easily disable these from running.
-   This also means:
-   - the semaphore name for 'set_hostname' and 'update_hostname'
-     changes to 'config_set_hostname' and 'config_update_hostname'
- - added cloud-config option 'hostname' for setting hostname
- - moved upstart/cloud-run-user-script.conf to upstart/cloud-final.conf
- - cloud-final.conf now runs runs cloud-config modules similar
-   to cloud-config and cloud-init.
- - LP: #653271 
-   - added writing of "boot-finished" to /var/lib/cloud/instance/boot-finished
-     this is the last thing done, indicating cloud-init is finished booting
-   - writes message to console with timestamp and uptime
- - write ssh keys to console as one of the last things done
-   this is to ensure they don't get run off the 'get-console-ouptut' buffer
- - user_scripts run via cloud-final and thus semaphore renamed from
-   user_scripts to config_user_scripts
- - add support for redirecting output of cloud-init, cloud-config, cloud-final
-   via the config file, or user data config file
- - add support for posting data about the instance to a url (phone_home)
- - add minimal OVF transport (iso) support
- - make DataSources that are attempted dynamic and configurable from
-   system config. changen "cloud_type: auto" as configuration for this
-   to 'datasource_list: [ "Ec2" ]'.  Each of the items in that list
-   must be modules that can be loaded by "DataSource<item>"
- - add 'timezone' option to cloud-config (LP: #645458)
- - Added an additional archive format, that can be used for multi-part
-   input to cloud-init.  This may be more user friendly then mime-multipart
-   See example in doc/examples/cloud-config-archive.txt (LP: #641504)
- - add support for reading Rightscale style user data (LP: #668400)
-   and acting on it in cloud-config (cc_rightscale_userdata.py)
- - make the message on 'disable_root' more clear (LP: #672417)
- - do not require public key if private is given in ssh cloud-config 
-   (LP: #648905)
