API requests can now be signed with +HmacSHA512, a new `switch` command changes the active server profile without +leaving the shell, and `cmk` can be configured entirely through environment +variables. Autocompletion now uses the Related metadata exposed by API +discovery to pick the correct list API, and several crashes in that code path +have been fixed. +Some of the key highlights of this release include: + +- Adds support for API request signing with HmacSHA512 +- Adds a switch command to change the active server profile from the shell +- Adds support for configuring cmk through environment variables in addition +to arguments +- Adds autocompletion for virtual machines that belong to projects +- Uses the Related metadata exposed by API discovery to pick the right list API +for autocompletion +- Fixes autocompletion for APIs whose noun ends in 'y', such as snapshot +policies +- Fixes a slice bounds panic in autocompletion +- Fixes a nil pointer panic on sync when the management server returns an empty +API list +- Fixes filter=count output to avoid emitting empty objects +- Switches to the maintained ergochat/readline library for the interactive shell +- Improves repository automation, licence auditing and security documentation + +CloudMonkey v6.6.0 is [available for download](https://cloudstack.apache.org/downloads.html) +now from the Apache CloudStack website.
