1.6 (Athena)

Changelog for 1.6 (Codename: Athena)

Users can now invite other users to their projects. This allows for better collaboration amongst team members, where management and monitoring responsibilities can be shared and delegated.
Only the owner of a project can invite other users as he has the ProjectOwner role.
During the invitation, the owner can assign a role of ProjectAdmin, ProjectReadAdmin or ProjectMember to the invitee.
A ProjectAdmin can manage all the project resources like Clusters, Nodes, Volumes, Applications & Slack configuration. In addition, he can install and upgrade OpenEBS Volumes and Pools, can edit monitoring and alerting configurations, and can perform data migration (DMaaS).
A ProjectReadAdmin is the read-only role. He can view the project resources and their monitoring details but cannot create or edit any resource or configuration.
A ProjectMember is a restricted role present in the project. He does not have access to any resources nor can he perform any operations.
A ProjectOwner can also change the role of an existing member.

Administrator can now setup Director to authenticate against his organization's Active Directory.
Typically this is needed in large enterprises which rely on Active Directory for SSO.
Please follow the instructions here to setup AD authentication.

On-premise users can now have their DMaaS backups sent to Minio object store in addition to Amazon S3 and Google Buckets.
Please follow the instructions here and here to configure Minio for DMaaS.

DMaaS now supports migration of workloads having more than one volume of CAS type cStor.

Project landing screen has been re-designed to give a better summary of its resources.
Cluster landing screen has been re-designed to give a better summary of its resources.

Fixed an issue in DMaaS where restore was failing due to a mismatch between labels of the application pods and deployment or statefulset.
Fixed an issue with UI auto-refresh of DMaaS schedule page.
Fixed an issue for supporting monitoring of applications in supporting Kubernetes 1.16 and above.
Fixed an issue in application monitoring due to mismatch of label set between the pod and deployment or statefulset.

If a ProjectReadAdmin tries to invoke an action of create or update, UI may not display proper error message.
A user, who is a part of multiple projects, will not be able to open monitoring graphs and logs of different projects in different browser tabs.
OpenEBS upgrade dashboard takes time to load while one upgrade is going on.
Auto-refresh of the Alerts page over-rides the user-selected filters on the page.
Currently, Minio application monitoring only works for Minio with image minio/minio:RELEASE.2019-09-18T21-55-05Z and earlier. The images later than minio/minio:RELEASE.2019-09-18T21-55-05Z have an in-built authentication that needs to be supported by Director.
