Hi,

Just wanted to let you guys know that we are introducing some intrusive 
changes in what will most likely become packetfence 2.0.2.

- Module versioning for pf::vlan::custom and pf::radius::custom

We are now relying on module versioning to catch interface changes 
before they hurt the users. PacketFence will generate errors on startup 
if you have not upgraded your modules' interface and version.

- Removed conf/templates/*.pl captive portal extensions

This mechanism was removed since the new pf::web::custom mechanism is 
cleaner and less error-prone. Any custom code in release.pl, login.pl, 
enabler.pl, redirect.pl, scan-in-progress.pl, error.pl, status.pl and 
register.pl won't be executed anymore.

- pid files changed location

Previously in var/ they are now in var/run/

- New configuration directory for generated configuration: var/conf/

Changed the location of the generated configuration file from conf/ to 
var/conf/.  This will mitigate the fact that people were trying to 
modify the generated files instead of the templates.

This is not an indication that we are about to release 2.0.2 but just to 
let you know what went in lately. Let us know what you think about it.

Cheers!
