Changelog for B9

3.1.0

• Introduced getVirtualSizeForRawImage, cmdStdout, hostCmdStdoutEither, HostCommandStdout.
• More stable parsing of qemu-img info output in getVirtualSizeForRawImage.
• Fixes a bug were size files contain garbage if newer versions of qemu-img are used.

3.0.0

• Run the libvirt_lxc builder in an artificial pseudo-terminal if b9c is run outside a terminal.
• Relax version constraints for hashable dependency

Breaking Changes

• Change B9 configuration API: Change the field to a list

2.1.0

• Add a new config parameter for the default Ext4 file system attributes.
• Ext4_64 is deprecated from now on, please use Ext4 and configure the ext4_attributes: ["64bit"].

2.0.0

Breaking Changes

• Specify upper version bounds for all project dependencies
• Move the interactive flag from the B9Config to the BuildInfo
  • isInteractive now requires the BuildInfoReader effect
  • Add the runB9Interactive function, that can by used to make the bsIsInteractive field in BuildInfo True
  • Add the cmdInteractive function, that executes a command with inherited stdin/stdout if runB9Interactive was called.
  • Remove the interactivity functionality from the cmd function

Minor Changes

• Fix bug in the parsing of console key in the systemd-nspawn configuration section: When a user specifies console: pipe this effects will be the same as if console: read-only was specified.
• Fix bug where the timeout factor configuration option given in a configuration file is ignored.

1.1.1

• When unique_build_dirs is enabled: use a truely random build-id, such that no matter how much or how little time passes between two consequitive builds, the BUILD_IDs will always differ with the same probability.

1.1.0

• Fix unintended deletion of images that are wrongly classified as obsolete.
• Add a configuration parameter for guarding operations, for which no timeout values was specified: default_timeout_seconds.
• Introduce a configuration parameter to specify an optional timeout factor. Since the introduction of SystemdNspawn support, most invokation of external system commands, e.g. mount, are guarded by short timeouts. During testing I discovered that some systems are just slower and might run into a timeout. To mitigate that, a user can now configure a timeout factor that is applied to the internal, hard-coded time values.
• Change NIX expressions to use haskellPackages instead of myHaskellPackages.

1.0.1

• Remove dhall
• Cleanup b9.cabal
• Replace fail with error

1.0.0

• Add SystemdNspawn support

0.5.69.0

• Add new ImageResize option ShrinkToMinimumAndIncrease
• Remove the byte unit from SizeUnit
• Add new utility functions to B9.DiskImages for image size calculations

0.5.68.3

• Fix issue #10: The CLI parameter --network host is ignored
• Flush the log output after every log message to stdout

0.5.68.2

• Fix a bug in the shared image Shake rule causing unnecessary rebuilds

• Rename the buildDirRoot string template environment variable to buildDir

0.5.68.1

• Fix positional argument enumeration in the Enviromnent; CLI arguments are passed via the keys arg_1 .. arg_N in the Environment. They are currently passed in reverse order and start from arg_0 instead of arg_1. See github issues #6 and #9.

• Fix #7 shared image meta info download and generalize and simplify B9ConfigOverrid while at it.

• Remove Trying to load config file messages

• Fix #8 - resurrect the environment variable buildDirRoot.

0.5.68

• Allow version specific config file resolution

  B9 changes the config file format from time to time. To enable simultaneous use of different B9 versions with conflicting config file formats the user may provide version specific default config files, and B9 will prefer the file matching its own version most closely.

  When loading its config file, B9 will now look for, and prefer config files suffixed with the longest matching version.

  For example: If B9 has version 0.5.68 these config files will be tried:

  • ~/.b9/b9.conf.0.5.68
  • ~/.b9/b9.conf.0.5
  • ~/.b9/b9.conf.0
  • ~/.b9/b9.conf

  If custom config file path are passed to B9 they will be tried first, and also with the version appended. For example, when runing b9c -c other-config-path list these paths would be tried:

  • other-config-path.0.5.68
  • other-config-path.0.5
  • other-config-path.0
  • other-config-path
  • /home/sven/.b9/b9.conf.0.5.68
  • /home/sven/.b9/b9.conf.0.5
  • /home/sven/.b9/b9.conf.0
  • /home/sven/.b9/b9.conf

0.5.67

• Iron out UTF-8 decoding issues

  • Use Data.Text in more places

  • Remove ByteStringGenerator

  • Change ToContentGenerator to produce only (strict) Data.Text.Texts

• Add B9.Text a module with conversion functions for different string types.

• Add helper functions and type for Erlang parsing:

  • textToErlangAst,

  • stringToErlangAst and

  • ErlangAST

0.5.66

• Fix the Nix package:

  • Get rid of the virsh path configuration item

  • Allow setting the path to @/.../libexec/libvirt_lxc@ via environment variable

0.5.65

• Refactor the B9 Monad to use extensible-effects

0.5.64

• Refactor and prepare for more drastic changes

• Fix runtime errors due to undefined values in the environment

0.5.63

• Depend on shake-0.17.6 to fix build errors

0.5.62

• Rewrite B9.Shake.SharedImageRules in line with Shake's example for custom rules

• Replace ConcatableSyntax by using Binary instances, and also

  • Remove/Inline encodeSyntax by using Binary.encode

  • Rename decodeSyntax to decodeOrFail' and delegate to Binary.decodeOrFail.

• Add a newtype wrapper around YamlObject for cloud-init yaml documents CloudConfigYaml

  This new type serves the purpose of add the #cloud-config line to the top of the generated yaml document, as required by cloud-init.

  The Binary instance adds this header line and delegates the rendering of the yaml document to YamlObject.

• Remove the rendering of this header line in the YamlObject Binary instance.

• Rename RenderYaml to RenderYamlObject In order to prevent unexpected runtime behaviour in code that uses this library.

• Introduce the type Environment that replaces the ubiquotus [(String, String)] by a lazy Text based HashMap.

• Add addLocalPositionalArguments

• Rename the previous B9.Artifact.Content to B9.Artifact.Content

• Introduce ContentGenerator as an open, extensible alternative to Content, AST and CanRender in the module B9.Artifact.Content

• Rename-and-Split refactor B9.ArtifactSource{Impl} to B9.Artifact.Generator.{..}

• Move CanRender from B9.Artifact.Content.AST to B9.Artifact.Content

• Switch to lazy Texts and ByteStrings where possible, since B9 might read/generate large files.

• Rename CanRender to ToContentGenerator and change the method signatur to return the new ContentGenerator type

• Fix spelling: Rename B9Invokation to B9Invocation

• Rename FromAST to FromAST

• Rearrange modules for content generation:

  • Introduce Content.FromByteString

  • Remove deprecated Concatenation
