Version 0.24.5 - Goldfinger
---------------------------

Version 0.24.4 - Goldfinger
---------------------------
 * Fix prefix add in VRF using from-prefix (#477)
 * Fix web UI header misalignment (#475)
 * Fix version of nipapd in web UI (#474)

Version 0.24.3 - Goldfinger
---------------------------

 * Improve Debian install scripts.

Version 0.24.2 - Goldfinger
---------------------------
 * Add missing dependency on Tornado for nipapd!

Version 0.24.1 - Goldfinger
---------------------------
 * Add missing dependency on Flask-Compress library for nipapd

Version 0.24.0 - Goldfinger
---------------------------
 * nipaprc configuration option 'default_vrf' is replaced by 'default_vrf_rt'
   which only affects address adds/edits/removals. A second option
   'default_list_vrf_rt' controls the default VRF for listing/search
   operations.
 * 'guest' user is no longer part of default shipping local_auth database. A
   user needs to be added manually for the web UI or CLI users.
 * New pre-forked backend. Replaced Twisted in preference of Flask-XML-RPC,
   served using Tornado. Backend will default to pre-forking to the number of
   CPUs. PostgreSQL also pre-forks and with one PostgreSQL backend per nipapd
   process, performance for parallel queries should see a significant boost.
 * Backend support for read-only users. A local_auth (SQLite) user can now be
   configured to be read-only. Web UI is lacking support, for example the
   "Add prefix" button is still present and enabled but trying to add a prefix
   will raise an error message.
 * Revamp look of VRF information and make it consistent across web UI and CLI
   as far as possible.
 * Fix for searches on "weird" IP addresses like 123.123123/24 which would
   previously generate exception.
 * Various formatting improvements to CLI
 * Various bug fixes to the web UI
 * Consistently use iprange indices in database for improved performance
 * Reference documentation is now kept up to date using readthedocs.org
 * Makefile target for bumping version - won't help you unless you're a
   developer ;)

Version 0.23.1 - Gargamel
-------------------------
 * Fix nipapd dependency on ip4r to be >= 2.0. Debian packages should now do
   the right thing (tm).

Version 0.23.0 - Gargamel
-------------------------
 * Add 'Customer ID' attribute to prefixes. This can be used to store a
   customer name or an ID referencing a customer database.
 * List top level prefixes by default in Web UI instead of empty result.
 * Fix for Web UI rendering bug which led to incorrect prefixes being rendered.
 * Fix for Web UI which would not display inherited tags in prefix list.
 * The number of children (sub-prefixes) of a prefix is now precalculated and
   stored in the database. Improves user experience and somewhat the speed of
   prefix search queries.
 * Limit number of connections held open by pynipap. When doing large amounts
   of operations, such as importing data, pynipap would keep open connections
   to the backend eventually running into the limit of open connections of the
   backend. pynipap no longer keeps open connections for any extended period of
   time.
 * Fix for backend returning too many "context prefixes" on prefix search even
   when asked not to.
 * Some improved error handling for AJAX calls.

Version 0.22.4
--------------
 * Added more usage examples to NIPAP CLI man page

Version 0.22.3
--------------
 * Bugfix in edit_prefix API function

Version 0.22.2
--------------
 * Fix issue with SQL upgrade script

Version 0.22.1
--------------
 * Fix debian repo build issue

Version 0.22.0
--------------
 * Add support for Tags. Prefixes can be tagged with a tag for easier searching
   and categorisation of prefixes.
 * Add VLAN attributes to prefixes. There are no constraints on the VLAN
   attribute apart from being an integer.
 * The Web UI now displays "top level" prefixes on empty search. This means it
   is typically easier to get an overview of addresses.
 * CLI automatically adjusts column width for better rendering of wide
   prefixes, ie typically IPv6.
 * CLI tab completion has been fixed for entries needing escaping (such as
   those containing a space).
 * Web UI has improved support for going back & forward in prefix list.
 * Bug fix to 'nipap address view' which could previously display the wrong
   prefix under certain conditions.
 * Add timestamp value for when prefix was added and last modified. These
   values are available over the XML-RPC API and can be used as a filter to
   only get prefixes modified since timestamp X which could ease integration
   with external systems which need to stay in sync with NIPAP.
 * Fix in debian/postinst to make www user trusted on install.
 * Improve defaults in .nipaprc skeleton file.
 * Various internal small fixes / refactoring.

Version 0.21.0
--------------
 * CLI now supports pool resizing, ie growing or shrinking a pool by the
   addition or removal of member prefixes. Code by Kai Storbeck <kai@xs4all.nl>
 * Improve prefix smart search on addresses. The smart search for prefixes has
   been modified so that IP addresses are matched with a
   contains-or-equals-operator instead of just equals. Searching on an address
   (e.g. 1.3.3.1) will thus return covering prefixes, such as 1.3.3.0/24 even
   if 1.3.3.1 does not exist. This is great for searching on addresses and
   getting the best matches even if there is no exact match.
 * Fix Bash tab completion
 * Fix bug in find_free_prefix method in XML-RPC API, thanks to Thomas Menari
   <t@menari.eu>

--------------

Version 0.20.0
--------------
 * For Debian, nipapd now runs per default as the nipap user which
   allows nipapd to connect to PostgreSQL via a UNIX socket instead of over
   TCP. This means the installation is now truly zero touch as the postgres
   configuration does not need to be modified.
 * For Debian the pid file location has moved
 * nipapd supports dropping privileges to a non-root user
 * Fix for incorrect Web UI prefix rendering that would not display all
   prefixes or break the collapse functionality
 * Fix logging in nipapd for certain SQL queries
 * Added prefix help on more pages in the web UI
 * Fix for VRF tab completion

Version 0.19.1
--------------

   Python 2.7.3

   not hidden as before
 * CLI automatically sets type (based on pool default type) and prefix
   length for new allocations from pools

   one
