Version 2016.10.3

General

• Switch to threading instead of multiprocessing for returner calls. (If you're worried about the GIL, don't. These operations are I/O bound, not CPU bound, and so don't run into the limitations of the GIL)

Linux

• Add more excludes to /opt for cloudpassage data

Version 2016.10.2

• Add __version__ attribute so that nebula can query the version of this module
• Add new exclude for /opt/imply
• Add troubleshooting information for max inotify watches

Version 2016.10.1

Windows

• Rename win_notify to win_pulsar. (However, __virtualname__ resolves just to pulsar, same as Linux.)
• Add support for returners in win_pulsar, including batch support

Linux

• Spin up returners in separate processes, to make sure they don't hang the salt-minion (NOTE: This is not working on win_pulsar yet)
• Rename refresh_frequency to refresh_interval and set to 300 seconds by default
• Only refresh file watches every refresh_interval to keep CPU use low. Note that auto_add: True should be used, or else events may be missed.
• Add more verbose logging
• Remove /var, add /opt with some excludes

Version 2016.9.4

• Reorganize paths to allow for spm builds

Version 2016.9.3

• Pull fileserver operations from the beacon to a scheduled job to work around an edge case bug in saltstack where fileserver operations in beacons could cause fileserver operations in scheduled jobs to hang.

Version 2016.9.2

Please upgrade to v2016.9.3, this version has a critical bug

• Add disable_during_state_run: True to the sample pillar data
• Fix a couple of issues related to incompatible salt versions
• Fix the default returner in the provided hubblestack_pulsar_config.yaml
• Add more excludes to hubblestack_pulsar_config.yaml

Version 2016.9.1

Please upgrade to v2016.9.3, this version has a critical bug

• Fix stacktraces caused on some old versions of pyinotify related to trace logging
• Cache the config, only refreshing from the master every 60 intervals (seconds) by default. This interval is configurable
• Add verbose config option to control beacon logging

Version 2016.9.0

Please upgrade to v2016.9.3, this version has a critical bug

Windows:

• Add windows inotify beacon (doesn't support returners yet)

Linux

• Set batch: True in the default watch data
• Add many exclusions to the default watch data
• Pull the watch data out of pillar and into the fileserver (backwards-incompatible change! You'll need to update your pillar, see the new pillar.example)
• Add regex support for excludes

Version 2016.7.0

Initial stable Pulsar release
