4.2.6 (27 January 2016)

General

• Change max supported version of Elasticsearch so Curator will work with
  elasticsearch 5.2
• Use isinstance() to verify client object. #862 (cp2587)
• Update certifi dependency to latest version

Documentation

• Add version compatibility section to official documentation.

4.2.5 (22 December 2016)

General

• Add and increment test versions for Travis CI. #839 (untergeek)
• Make filter_list optional in snapshot, show_snapshot and show_indices
  singleton actions. #853 (alexef)

Bug Fixes

• Fix cli integration test when different host/port are specified. Reported
  in #843 (untergeek)
• Catch empty list condition during filter iteration in singleton actions.
  Reported in #848 (untergeek)

Documentation

• Add docs regarding how filters are ANDed together, and how to do an OR with
  the regex pattern filter type. Requested in #842 (untergeek)
• Fix typo in Click version in docs. #850 (breml)
• Where applicable, replace [source,text] with [source,yaml] for better
  formatting in the resulting docs.

4.2.4 (7 December 2016)

Bug Fixes

• --wait_for_completion should be True by default for Snapshot singleton
  action. Reported in #829 (untergeek)
• Increase version_max to 5.1.99. Prematurely reported in #832 (untergeek)
  Specifically, this adds support for Elasticsearch 5.1.x
• Make the '.security' index visible for snapshots so long as proper
  credentials are used. Reported in #826 (untergeek)

4.2.3.post1 (22 November 2016)

This fix is only going in for pip-based installs. There are no other code
changes.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed incorrect assumption of PyPI picking up dependency for certifi. It
  is still a dependency, but should not affect pip installs with an error
  any more. Reported in #821 (untergeek)

4.2.3 (21 November 2016)

4.2.2 was pulled immediately after release after it was discovered that the
Windows binary distributions were still not including the certifi-provided
certificates. This has now been remedied.

General

• certifi is now officially a requirement.
• setup.py now forcibly includes the certifi certificate PEM file in
  the "frozen" distributions (i.e., the compiled versions). The
  get_client method was updated to reflect this and catch it for both the
  Linux and Windows binary distributions. This should finally put to rest
  #810

4.2.2 Changes

Bug Fixes

• The certifi-provided certificates were not propagating to the compiled
  RPM/DEB packages. This has been corrected. Reported in #810 (untergeek)

General

• Added missing --ignore_empty_list option to singleton actions. Requested
  in #812 (untergeek)

Documentation

• Add a FAQ entry regarding the click module's need for Unicode when using
  Python 3. Kind of a bug fix too, as the entry_points were altered to catch
  this omission and report a potential solution on the command-line. Reported
  in #814 (untergeek)
• Change the "Command-Line" documentation header to be "Running Curator"

4.2.1 (8 November 2016)

Bug Fixes

• In the course of package release testing, an undesirable scenario was
  caught where boolean flags default values for curator_cli were
  improperly overriding values from a yaml config file.

General

• Adding in direct download URLs for the RPM, DEB, tarball and zip packages.

4.2.0 (4 November 2016)

New Features

• Shard routing allocation enable/disable. This will allow you to disable
  shard allocation routing before performing one or more actions, and then
  re-enable after it is complete. Requested in #446 (untergeek)
• Curator 3.x-style command-line. This is now curator_cli, to
  differentiate between the current binary. Not all actions are available,
  but the most commonly used ones are. With the addition in 4.1.0 of schema
  and configuration validation, there's even a way to still do filter chaining
  on the command-line! Requested in #767, and by many other users (untergeek)

General

• Update testing to the most recent versions.
• Lock elasticsearch-py module version at >= 2.4.0 and <= 3.0.0. There are
  API changes in the 5.0 release that cause tests to fail.

Bug Fixes

• Guarantee that binary packages are built from the latest Python + libraries.
  This ensures that SSL/TLS will work without warning messages about insecure
  connections, unless they actually are insecure. Reported in #780, though
  the reported problem isn't what was fixed. The fix is needed based on what
  was discovered while troubleshooting the problem. (untergeek)

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)

4.1.1 (27 September 2016)

Bringing you this release from the Elastic Engineering All-Hands meeting in Prague!

Bug Fixes

• String-based booleans are now properly coerced. This fixes an issue where
  True/False were used in environment variables, but not recognized.
  #765 (untergeek)
• Fix missing count method in __map_method in SnapshotList. Reported in
  #766 (untergeek)

General

• Update es_repo_mgr to use the same client/logging YAML config file.
  Requested in #752 (untergeek)

Schema Validation

• Cases where source was not defined in a filter (but should have been)
  were informing users that a timestring field was there that shouldn't have
  been. This edge case has been corrected.

Documentation

• Added notifications and FAQ entry to explain that AWS ES is not supported.

4.1.0 (6 Sept 2016)

New Features

• Configuration and Action file schema validation. Requested in #674
  (untergeek)
• Alias filtertype! With this filter, you can select indices based on whether
  they are part of an alias. Merged in #748 (untergeek)
• Count filtertype! With this filter, you can now configure Curator to only
  keep the most recent n indices (or snapshots!). Merged in #749
  (untergeek)
• Experimental! Use environment variables in your YAML configuration files.
  This was a popular request, #697. (untergeek)

General

• New requirement! voluptuous Python schema validation module
• Requirement version bump: Now requires elasticsearch-py 2.4.0

Bug Fixes

• delete_aliases option in close action no longer results in an error
  if not all selected indices have an alias. Add test to confirm expected
  behavior. Reported in #736 (untergeek)

Documentation

• Add information to FAQ regarding indices created before Elasticsearch 1.4.
  Merged in #747
