Good day,
CFEngine Community 3.4.0beta1 is now available for testing.
New features:
- Implement inheritance of local classes by bundles called using
"usebundle". By default classes are not inherited. See the
examples/unit_inherit.cf for an example.
Misc:
- Support for the following outdated platforms and corresponding
classes has been removed. De facto those platforms were
unsupported for a long time, as CFEngine codebase uses C99
language features unavailable on old platforms:
- SunOS 3.x (sun3)
- SunOS 4.x (sun4)
- Ultrix (ultrix)
- DEC OSF/1 AXP (osf)
- Digital UNIX (digital)
- Sony NEWS (newsos)
- 4.3BSD (bsd4_3)
- IRIX (irix, irix4, irix64)
- IBM Academic Operating System (aos)
- BSD/OS / BSDi / BSD/386 (bsdos)
- NeXTSTEP (nextstep)
- GNU Hurd (gnu)
- NEC UX/4800 (ux4800)
- (Old news) Since 3.3.0 the layout of CFEngine Community packages
has changed slightly.
cf-* binaries have been moved to /var/cfengine/bin, due to the
following reasons:
- cf-* binaries are linked to libraries installed to
/var/cfengine/lib, so placing binaries in /usr/local/sbin does not
increase reliability of the CFEngine,
- keeping whole CFEngine under single prefix (/var/cfengine)
makes packaging simpler,
- it matches the layout of CFEngine Enterprise packages.
Please adjust your policies (the recommended ways to deal with
the move are either to adjust $PATH to include /var/cfengine or to
create symlinks in /usr/local/sbin in case you are relying on
binaries to be available in $PATH).
- Workdir location is properly changed if --prefix or --enable-fhs
options are supplied to configure (Mantis #1195).
- Added check for broken libmysqlclient implementations (Mantis #1217).
- Standard library is updated from COPBL repository.
Bugfixes:
- Compatibility fixes for HP-UX, Solaris (Mantis #1185, Mantis #1177, Mantis
#1109).
- Fixed broken socklen_t configure check under OpenBSD (Mantis #1168).
- Fixed hang in cf-promises under OpenBSD (Mantis #1113).
- Fixed endless loop in evaluating "$()" construct (Mantis #1023).
- Fixed memory leak in cf-execd occuring if cf-monitord is also running on the
system.
