4.1.2 (6 October 2016)

This release does not actually add any new code to Curator, but instead improves
documentation and includes new linux binary packages.

General

• New Curator binary packages for common Linux systems!
  These will be found in the same repositories that the python-based packages
  are in, but have no dependencies. All necessary libraries/modules are
  bundled with the binary, so everything should work out of the box.
  This feature doesn't change any other behavior, so it's not a major release.

  These binaries have been tested in:

  • CentOS 6 & 7
  • Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04, 16.04
  • Debian 8

  They do not work in Debian 7 (library mismatch). They may work in other
  systems, but that is untested.

  The script used is in the unix_packages directory. The Vagrantfiles for
  the various build systems are in the Vagrant directory.

Bug Fixes

• The only bug that can be called a bug is actually a stray .exe suffix
  in the binary package creation section (cx_freeze) of setup.py. The
  Windows binaries should have .exe extensions, but not unix variants.
• Elasticsearch 5.0.0-beta1 testing revealed that a document ID is required
  during document creation in tests. This has been fixed, and a redundant bit
  of code in the forcemerge integration test was removed.

Documentation

• The documentation has been updated and improved. Examples and installation
  are now top-level events, with the sub-sections each having their own link.
  They also now show how to install and use the binary packages, and the
  section on installation from source has been improved. The missing
  section on installing the voluptuous schema verification module has been
  written and included. #776 (untergeek)
