+
+We are pleased to announce the release of Apache CloudStack CloudMonkey v6.6.0,
+the latest version of the popular command-line interface tool for managing
+Apache CloudStack environments.
+
+<!-- truncate -->
+
+CloudMonkey 6.6.0 focuses on stronger security, smoother day-to-day use of the
+shell, and more reliable autocompletion. 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. For more information on the release,
including a full list
+of new features and bug fixes, please refer to the release notes.
