Latest changes

3.2.0 (2011/07/31)

Enhanced REST API by exposing more functionalities (agent upgrade, deployments, plans). Note that the REST call HEAD /plan/<planId>/execution/<executionId> now returns a header called X-glu-completion (the old one X-LinkedIn-GLU-completion is still returned for backward compatibility).

• Implemented glu-66: implement rest call GET /plans
• Fixed glu-81: Sometimes ste.message is null. It is null when the exception is java.util
• Fixed glu-82: Add some spacing around the pagination items.
• Fixed glu-83: NPE at http://glu/console/plan/deployments/XXX

3.1.0 (2011/07/26)

Added unit test framework for glu script and created sibling project glu-script-contribs

• Implemented glu-80: Add ability to write unit tests for glu script
• Added Shell.httpPost method

3.0.0 (2011/06/25)

What is new in 3.0.0 ?

3.0.0 adds the following features:

• parent/child relationship <static-model-entries-parent> which adds the capability of decoupling the lifecycle of a parent and a child (typical examples being deploying a webapp inside a webapp container or deploying a bundle in an OSGi container)
• define the desired state of an entry in the model (entryState <static-model-entries-entryState>) which, for example, allows you to deploy an application without starting it
• The console is no longer precomputing the various plans (deploy, bounce, undeploy and redeploy) and they are now computed on demand only
• The delta is now a first class citizen and a new rest API allows to access it <goe-rest-api-get-model-delta>
• The core of the orchestration engine (delta, planner and deployer) has been fully rewritten to offer those new capabilities (now in java which should provide some performance improvements over groovy).

List of tickets

• Fixed glu-18: Grails Runtime Exception (500) when viewing a deployment status (thanks to Ran!)
