Anders,
bootstrap-vz now runs on a single master branch and the old github pages
documentation has been removed (use bootstrap-vz.readthedocs.org instead).
This also makes the documentation easier to maintain. With GitHub
Pages (which is a great service, btw), we had to write some HTML and
set a Ruby environment (Jekyll + GH Pages gems) so we could build it
on our workstations. Now we can do the same using only Python (Sphinx
+ SimpleHTTPServer, doing that automatically in a virtualenv when
using tox) and writing something that is pretty close to markdown.
bootstrap-vz now supports 5 different providers, has 20 plugins and is
integration tested from start to finish on 2 of those providers.
With over 1000 commits, almost 60 forks, 205 closed issues and 1500 lines of
documentation bootstrap-vz has become a stable platform for bootstrapping
Debian images and I hope it has made working with the cloud and other
virtualization platforms just a little easier for people, because it
certainly has for me.
I guess those numbers alone don't tell us one of the best parts
(something we have been talking off-list): bootstrap-vz is a carefully
designed tool that is not only getting more stable after every issue
we close, but it is also very friendly for newcomers that wants to
help hacking on its code or just need to alter something for their own
needs.
Regarding tests, as you said on #74[1], we are just starting. The
possibilities are nearly endless.
You can read more about it in the changelog.
The changelog link was broken, as it was referring to the old
`development` branch. This is a working one[2].
A big thank you goes to Tiago for all his help in maintaining this project
and to everybody who has contributed through either code or just lent their
expertise via email. Thanks!
We all have to thank you for the great effort you put (talking
numbers, you are the author of over 75% of the commits!) on
bootstrap-vz for the last couple years (and even a few more if we
consider its predecessor, build-debian-cloud). Thank you very much!
Ps.: it's kinda funny that this announcement came exactly two years
after the first commit[3] on the project. :-)

Hi everybody!
Just a quick update.

Any pull requests should now of course be sent to the master branch.
I may still create feature branches if some new feature may disrupt the
stability of bootstrap-vz, but they will not be as long lived as the
previous ones.
Tiago and I have fixed a few more bugs (+ one feature from John Wendell), so
that we are down to 3-4 bugs and 8 missing enhancements. You can read more
about it in the changelog.
