I am pleased to announce the release of Augeas 1.0.0. If I were into
codenames, this would be the 'Twas (almost) the night before Christmas'
After 5 years, it was time to finally move to version 1 - the very first
release, 0.0.1, happend on 12/1/2007. The code, and especially the
library interfaces have been exceedingly stable for quite some time now;
more importantly, the community is very healthy and stable, too.
This release contains a gigantic number of changes, way too many to list
in an email. You can find the complete list of changes in the NEWS
file[1] on github.
Some of the bigger changes are:
* New syntax for the square lens; the syntax is now 'square L1 L2
L3' and has the same effect as L1 . L2 . L3 with the additional
constraint that the strings matching L1 and L3 must be
identical. This is a backwards incompatible change.
* Amongst the many new and improved lenses, the Sysconfig lens
will now strip quotes
* Several new API calls:
* aug_text_store/aug_text_retrieve to transform strings
directy into the tree and turn parts of the tree back
into strings
* aug_transform to set up a transform more easily, i.e. to
associate a lens with the file name filters that it
should handle
* aug_rename to rename a tree node
* aug_label to retrive the label of a tree node, similar
to how aug_get retrieves the value
* Several additions to the commands aug_srun and augtool
understand:
* touch to create a node with an empty value; the <VALUE>
argument to set and setm are now optional
* add text_store, text_retrieve, rename, transform and
label commands to expose the new API calls
* Path expressions can now be matched against regular expressions
case insensitively using "/foo/bar/*[node =~ regexp('[A-Z]+',
'i')]"
Tarball: http://augeas.net/download/augeas-1.0.0.tar.gz
GPG signature: http://augeas.net/download/augeas-1.0.0.tar.gz.sig
RPM's for Fedora and EPEL will have to wait until after the break,
unless somebody beats me to it.
