With spot_instance=True, an EC2LatentBuildSlave will attempt to create a spot instance with the provided spot
price, placement, and so on.

* The attributes ``description``, ``descriptionDone`` and ``descriptionSuffix`` have been moved from :py:class:`ShellCommand` to its superclass :py:class:`BuildStep` so that any class that inherits from :py:class:`BuildStep` can provide a suitable description of itself.

* A new :py:class:`FlattenList` Renderable has been added which can flatten nested lists.

* Builder configurations can now include a ``description``, which will appear in the web UI to help humans figure out what the builder does.

* The web UI now supports a PNG Status Resource that can be accessed publicly from for example README.md files or wikis or whatever other resource.
This view produces an image in PNG format with information about the last build for the given builder name or whatever other build number if is passed as an argument to the view.

* The web hooks now include support for Bitbucket and GitLab.

* The 'Rebuild' button on the web pages for builds features a dropdown to choose whether to
rebuild from exact revisions or from the same sourcestamps (ie, update branch references)
* The web hooks now include support for Bitbucket, GitLab and Gitorious.

* The ``start``, ``restart``, and ``reconfig`` commands will now wait for longer than 10 seconds as long as the master continues producing log lines indicating that the configuration is progressing.
* The GitHub webhook has been updated to work with v3 of the GitHub webhook API.

* Git source checkout step now supports reference repositories.
* The GitHub webhook can now optionally ignore non-distinct commits (:bb:bug: `1861`).

* P4 source step now supports more advanced options.
* The HGPoller and GitPoller now split filenames on newlines, rather than whitespace, so files containing whitespace are handled correctly.

* The ``comments`` field of changes is no longer limited to 1024 characters on MySQL and Postgres. See :bb:bug:`2367` and :bb:pull:`736`.
* Add 'pollAtLaunch' flag for polling change sources. This allows a poller to poll immediately on launch and get changes that occurred while it was down.

* The WebStatus builder page can now filter pending/current/finished builds by property parameters of the form ``?property.<name>=<value>``.
* Added the :bb:chsrc:`BitbucketPullrequestPoller` changesource.

* The WebStatus ``StatusResourceBuilder`` page can now take the ``maxsearch`` argument
* The GitPoller can now be configured to poll all available branches (:bb:pull: `1010`).

* The WebStatus has a new authz "view" action that allows you to require users to logged in to view the WebStatus.
* The :bb:chsrc:`P4Source` changesource now supports Perforce servers in a different timezone than the buildbot master (:bb:pull: `728`).

* The WebStatus now shows revisions (+ codebase) where it used to simply say "multiple rev".
* Each Scheduler type can now take a 'reason' argument to customize the reason it uses for triggered builds.

* The Console view now supports codebases.
* A new argument ``createAbsoluteSourceStamps`` has been added to ``SingleBranchScheduler`` for use with multiple codebases.

* The GitHub webhook has been updated to work with v3 of the GitHub webhook API.
* A new argument ``createAbsoluteSourceStamps`` has been added to :bb:sched:`Nightly` for use with multiple codebases.

* Build status can be sent to GitHub.
Depends on txgithub package.
See :bb:status:`GitHubStatus` and `GitHub Commit Status <https://github.com/blog/1227-commit-status-api>`_.
* The ``Periodic`` scheduler now supports codebases.

* The web UI for Builders has been updated:
* shows the build 'reason' and 'interested users'
* shows sourcestamp information for builders that use multiple codebases (instead of the generic
"multiple rev" placeholder that was shown before).
* The :bb:sched:`ForceScheduler` now takes a ``buttonName`` argument to specify the name of the button on the force-build form.

* Each Scheduler type can now take a 'reason' argument to customize the reason it uses for triggered builds.
* Master side source checkout steps now support patches (:bb:bug: `2098`). The Git and Mercurial steps use their inbuilt commands to apply patches (:bb:bug: `2563`).

* Added zsh and bash tab-completions support for 'buildbot' command.
* Master side source checkout steps now support retry option (:bb:bug: `2465`).

* An example of a declarative configuration is included in :bb:src:`master/contrib/SimpleConfig.py`, with copious comments.

the slave is not connected.
* Gerrit integration with Git Source step on master side (:bb: `2485`).

* Master side source checkout steps now support patches (:bb:bug: `2098`).
* P4 source step now supports more advanced options.

* The master-side SVN step now supports authentication for mode=export, fixing :bb:bug:`2463`.

* The SVN step will now canonicalize URL's before matching them for better accuracy.

* Master side source checkout steps now support retry option (:bb:bug: `2465`).

* The :bb:chsrc:`P4Source` changesource now supports Perforce servers in a different timezone than the buildbot master (:bb:pull: `728`).

TODO: update version in deprecation warning.

* The web status now has options to cancel some or all pending builds.

This new feature requires the optional ``txrequests`` and ``requests`` Python packages.

* RemoteShellCommands can be killed by SIGTERM with the sigtermTime parameter before resorting to SIGKILL (:bb:bug: `751`).

is supplied.
