Dear all,

I have been trying CloudMonkey for a couple of days. Both the 4.1 release
note [1] and wiki [2] mention the JSON output feature, but as I have tried,
non of the following versions support this feature:
* Install via "pip install cloudmonkey" (4.1.0-1)
* Build from 4.1.0 source code (4.1.0-0)
* Build from git 4.1 branch (4.1.1-0)

They still expect the "tabularize = true/false" parameter in
~/.cloudmonkey/config. The new "display = default/json/table" has no effect.

It does work in the master branch, however. Looking at CLOUDSTACK-1875: Add
JSON output into cloudmonkey [3], I think the above behaviors are the old
ways, and this fix is not backported to 4.1, anyway.

If JSON output support is considered a "4.2 new feature," should that be
mentioned in the 4.1 release note? Or as a user, do I have to wait so long
until 4.2 for a stable release of CloudMonkey?

I think it also relates to the recent discussion of moving CloudMonkey out
of the main repo. Then I'm +1 toward that :DD.
CloudMonkey as a tool should be independent of other CloudStack components.
At least, it should have a much shorter release cycle.
