considered OK for constraints expecting strings during syntax
check (CFE-4094)
* cf-monitord now honors monitorfacility in body monitor control
(ENT-4492)
* cf-serverd now periodically reloads its policy if it contains
unresolved variables (e.g. $(sys.policy_hub) in 'allowconnect'). (ENT-8456)
* cf-serverd now starts in the network-online.target on systemd-based
systems (ENT-8456)
* edit_line bundles can now use the new $(edit.empty_before_use)
variable mirroring the value of edit_defaults=>empty_before_use
of the related files promise (ENT-5866)
* Package modules with unresolved variables in their names are
now skipped in package queries (ENT-9377)
* Removed unsupported name_connect capability for udp_socket class
(ENT-8824)
* 'meta' attribute can now be used in custom promises (CFE-3440)
* Custom promise modules can now support the 'action_policy'
feature allowing promises of their custom types to be used
in dry-run and simulation modes and in combination with
'action_policy => "warn"'. (CFE-3433)
* Use of custom promise modules that don't fully specify protocol
now results in warning (CFE-3433)
* Warnings are logged if levels of log messages from custom promise

and ciphers used for TLS 1.2 and older (ENT-9018)
* Fixed git_cfbs_deploy_refspec in masterfiles_stage leaving temp dir
- Update to version 3.20.0:
* 'rxdirs' now defaults to "false". This means that the read
permission bit no longer implies execute bit for directories,
by default.
Permission bits will be exactly as specified. To restore the
old behavior you can still enable 'rxdirs' explicitly. (CFE-951)
* 'N' or 'Ns' signal specs can now be used to sleep between signals
sent by 'processes' promises (CFE-2207, ENT-5899)
* Directories named .no-distrib are no longer copied from policy

* Fixed wrong use of log level in users promises log messages
(CFE-3906)
* Fixed default for ignore_missing_bundles and ignore_missing_inputs

but when they are assigned with an unresolved variable, they
would default to true. (ENT-8430)
* Added protocol 3 (cookie) to syntax description (ENT-8560)
* Moved errors from data_sysctlvalues from inform to verbose

- 'cf-check diagnose --test-write' can now be used to test writing
into LMDB files (ENT-4484)
- 'if' constraint now works in combination with class contexts
(CFE-2615)
- Added $(sys.cf_version_release) variable (ENT-5348)
- Added new macros to parser: else, maximum_version, between_versions,
before_version, at_version and after_version. Version macros now
accept single digits (CFE-3198)
- Added cf-postgres requirement to cf-apache and cf-hub systemd units
(ENT-5125)
- Added files promise content attribute (CFE-3276)
- Added string_trim() policy function (CFE-3074)
- Added warning if CSV parser parses nothing from non-empty file
(CFE-3256)
- All changes made by 'files' promises are now reported. Also,
directory and file creations are now properly reported as 'info'
messages. And failures in edit_xml result in promises marked as
failed not interrupted. Purged dirs and files are reported as
repaired (ENT-5291, CFE-3260)
- Bootstrap to loopback interface is now allowed, with a warning
(CFE-3304)
- Client initiated reporting was fixed on RHEL 8.1 (ENT-5415)
- Fixed rare crashing bug when parsing zombie entries in ps output.
The problem was only ever observed on AIX, but could theoretically happen
on any platform depending on exact libc behavior. (ENT-5329)
- Fixed an issue causing duplicate entries in sys.interfaces, and
sys.hardware. (CFE-3046)
- Fixed ifelse() to return fallback in case of unresolved variables
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/systemsmanagement/cfengine?expand=0&rev=188
- Update to 3.12.1 (LTS)
- Added a new binary: cf-check
+ Corrupt local databases (LMDB) continues to be a problem.
cf-check will be used to diagnose and remediate problems
with corrupt databases. It is a standalone binary, which
doesn't evaluate policy or use the local databases, thus
it can be used in situations where the other binaries
like cf-agent would hang.
+ cf-check replaces our lmdb database dumper, lmdump.
+ `cf-check lmdump` or symlinking / renaming it to lmdump
will make cf-check have the exact same behavior as lmdump.
cf-check will include much more functionality in the future
and some of the code will be added to other binaries,
for example to do health checks of databases on startup.
Ticket: (ENT-4064)
- Class names set by module protocol are automatically canonified
(CFE-2877, CFE-2887)
- Correct log level for data_readstringarray* (CFE-2922)
- Eliminated error messages caused by attempting to kill expired processes
(CFE-2824)
- Fix cf-runalerts systemd unit conditions so the service will run
(ENT-3929)
- Fix the off-by-one error in cf-runagent background process spawning

New Features:
- Add a --key-type option to specify RSA key size to cf-key
- New hash_to_int policy function (CFE-2733)
- Issue a warning on ignored locking attributes (CFE-2748)
- Add IPv6 hard classes with the "ipv6_" prefix (CFE-2310)
- Introduce "missing_ok" attribute in body copy_from
This allows to ignore missing sources in file copy operations
(CFE-2365)
- Enable Xen hypervisor detection on all x86 platforms (CFE-2203)
- Add sys.policy_entry variables (CFE-2572)
- Added inline_mustache template method (CFE-1846)
- New component cf-net (cf-net is a CLI for the CFEngine network
protocol, useful for debugging, testing etc) and accompanying
policy variable sys.cf_net containing path to cf-net binary
- Added --log-level option to all components
This allows you to specify any log level (info, verbose, debug
etc.).
It is also less strict, allowing different spelling. As an example,
--log-level i, --log-level INFO, --log-level inform are all the same.
- Added special behavior for bundles named __main__
If the bundle is defined in the entry policy it will be defined as
main.
If the bundle is defined elsewhere, it will be removed.
This makes it easy to make importable library policy which can also
be executed directly.

Full changelog at https://github.com/cfengine/core/blob/3.9.0/ChangeLog
New features:
- Classes promise: allow classes without an expression to default to
defined.
- Add optional interface parameter to iprange() to match only one
interface.
- Allow '=' in symbolic modes (Redmine #7826)
- Add: FreeBSD ports package module
- New package module for FreeBSD pkg package manager.
- Add support for adding/removing fifos in policy
- Add Linux parsing of /proc/net/ data.
- sys.inet
- sys.inet6
- sys.interface_data
- Data is returned as a data container.
- See documentation for more details. (Jira CFE-1991)
- sys.ip2iface: new reverse mapping variable from IP to
interface name
- Namespaced classes can now be specified on the command line.
- namespaces can now be passed to cf-runagent -D and --remote-bundles
(Redmine #7856)
- Add 'cf-full' and 'json-full' to cf-promises '-p' option.
They generate output based on the entire policy. The existing 'cf'
already behaved this way, and it has now been changed to generate
output only for a single file, which the existing 'json' option
already does.
- New language functions: processexists() and findprocesses()
(Redmine #7633)
- Implement new regex_replace() function. (Redmine #7346)
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/systemsmanagement/cfengine?expand=0&rev=141
Fixes:
- Reduce verbosity of apt_get package module (Redmine #7485)
- Reduce verbosity of yum package module (Redmine #7485)
- The isvariable() function call now correctly accepts all
array variables when specified inline. Previously it would not accept
certain special characters, even though they could be specified
indirectly by using a variable to hold it. (Redmine #7088)
- Don't follow symbolic links when copying extended attributes.
- Fix a bug which sometimes caused package promises to be
skipped with "XX Another cf-agent seems to have done this
since I started" messages in the log, most notably in long running cf-agent
runs (longer than one minute). (Redmine #7933)
- Fix bug which could render host unable to recover from a
syntax error, even if failsafe.cf was utilized. This could
happen if the file containing the syntax error was specified in the def.json
special file. (Redmine #7961)
- Change: Policy files specified in the "inputs" section of
def.json will no longer be auto-loaded. One has to refer to the
$(def.augments_inputs) variable in the policy (the standard
masterfiles policies include this by default). This only affects
installations which are not based on the standard masterfiles, and
which are using the "inputs" field inside def.json. (Redmine #7961)
- Fix file descriptor leak when there are network errors.
- Fix cf-serverd error messages with classic protocol clients
(Redmine #7818)
- Installing packages containing version numbers using yum
now works correctly. (Redmine #7825)
- Fix ps options for FreeBSD to check processes only in
current host and not in jails

fixes a bug where certain entries in this file would be parsed
too late to have any effect on the evaluation. (Redmine #7453, #7615)
- Fix HP-UX specific bug that caused a lot of log output to disappear.
- Check for empty server response in RemoteDirList after decryption
(Redmine #7908)
- getvalues() will now return a list also for data containers,
and will descend recursively into the containers. (Redmine #7116)
- Define (bootstrap|failsafe)_mode during update.cf when triggerd
from failsafe.cf (Redmine #7861)
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/systemsmanagement/cfengine?expand=0&rev=137
New features/additions:

other bodies by specifying "inherit_from" with the name of the body to
inherit from, plus any arguments it accepts. For example:
body classes myclasses
{
inherit_from => classes_generic("myname");
}
(Redmine #4309)
- Add url_get() function. (Redmine #6480)
- Add @if feature() syntax
@if feature work like @if minimum_version but allows distinguishing
between features choosen at compile time.
- Extend module protocol to create persistent classes.
To use it, have the module print a line with "^persistence=<minutes>"
before printing any class names. "persistence=0" goes back to non-
persistent classes. (Redmine #7302)

New features:
- New package promise implementation.
The syntax is much simpler, to try it out, check out the syntax:
packages:
"mypackage"
policy => "absent/present",
# Optional, default taken from common control
package_module => apt_get,
# Optional, will only match exact version. May be
# "latest".
version => "32.0",
# Optional.
architecture => "x86_64";
- Full systemd support for all relevant platforms
- New classes to determine whether certain features are enabled:
* feature_yaml
* feature_xml
For the official CFEngine packages, these are always enabled, but
packages from other sources may be built without the support.
- New readdata() support for generic data input (CSV, YAML, JSON, or auto)
- YAML support: new readyaml() function and in readdata()
- CSV support: new readcsv() function and in readdata()
- New string_mustache() function
- New data_regextract() function
- eval() can now be called with "class" as the "mode" argument, which
will cause it to return true ("any") if the calculated result is
non-zero, and false ("!any") if it is zero.
