Enomalism 2.1B3

The third beta of Enomalism2.1 has been released. No new features. Just bug fixes and general code refactoring.

The next Enomalism release should be the first release candidate of Enomalism 2.1.

Enomalism 2.1B2 Getting Close

The second beta release of Enomalism 2.1 is coming soon. Several minor fixes and enhancements have been made throughout the system. Several improvements have been made in the REST API including new user control functionality. Permission handling has been greatly improved in several core modules.

Although the stability fixes have been minimal, a couple noteable features have been added to the second beta. First, during the Enomalism installation process, existing libvirt domains will be imported into Enomalism. This means that any existing machines, created by some other means, can be managed by Enomalism.

Second, if the host Enomalism machine is shut down, the VMs running on that host will now remember their state and automatically start when Enomalism starts again.

Enomalism 2.1B1

Enomalism 2.1 Beta 1 is now available for download. We are currently building system packages and they will be available on sourceforge shortly.

The first beta of Enomalism 2.1 brings many improvements to the Enomalism core as well as several usability enhancements. There is also much improved documentation available.

Rather than go through the entire list of changes, I'll highlight some of the most important improvements. The exception-handling has been greatly improved since the last release. Enomalism defines its' own exceptions which are then stored in the database so they can be viewed at a later time. Storing exceptions can be turned off. There is also an exception viewer extension module which allows exceptions to be viewed in the Enomalism front-end.

Several GUI elements have been improved from a usability perspective and general cleanup. The Enomalism core itself has been cleaned up too. Finally, the REST API has also been improved. Although it is not quite there yet in terms of consistancy, it is much better than the previous release. The REST API is a high-priority feature that will continually improve as the project progresses.

That being said, try it out. Give us your feedback and we will do our best to resolve any issues you may encounter in the next release.
