[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello everyone,

System Storage Manager version 0.2 has just been released. It contains a
lot of changes from the previous 0.1 version. You can go directly to the
project web page to download the code or checkout git repository:

	http://storagemanager.sf.net

Here are some highlight of important changes from previous version:

 - Required python version lowered to 2.6
 - New documentation web page
 - Project manual page
 - New option to choose default backend
 - New interface for dealing with exeptions
 - Better error handling including user input
 - Show all file systems in the listing command
 - Thanks to the new bash tests and unittests lot of problem has been found
   and fixed

So give it a try and if you spot any issues, please let us know at:

	storagemanager-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Here are some features and improvements planned for the future releases:

 - MD raid support
 - full cryptsetup support (now can only list and remove)
 - Better consistency with '-f' and '-v' options
 - Unified checks for all file systems, backends and commands
 - Better support for using ssmlib as python module for other applications


I really hope that System Storage Manager will prove useful for you and I
would really appreciate comments, bug reports, feature requests, patches,
rants...

Thanks!
-Lukas
