--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This version will contain major changes to the handling of client public
keys, and a number of bug fixes.
Keys are now stored using a unique hash, removing the need for storage
by hostname or IP address.
Keys should be converted automatically on execution.
Some Key Changes include
New package policy addupdate - installs package if not there and
updates it otherwise.
New special function readstringarrayidx, similar to readstringarray,
but uses integer indices. Very useful if first row elements are
not good identifiers (e.g. contains spaces, non-unique, etc.).
Change two log formats to use time() instead of date()
- filechanges
- total compliance
Change in storage of public keys. Cfengine now hashes the public
key and uses this
as the keyname.
The old dynamic addresses lists are deprecated.
Caching of dns and key information for greater server speed.
Change in last-seen format reflects the public key usage.
Change from using md5 to sha256 as default digest where possible.
Commands not returning 0 in commands-promises are flagged
as repair_failed.
Redesign of the knowledge map infrastructure.
Allow disable to set 000 permissions
Allow special value "cf_null" in lists, which is a blank to be
skipped over. Allowed initialization of NULL lists.
Regular expression anchoring respected properly during pattern
replacement
These server features are now deprecated:
