I am happy to announce that after a year since the last release, Cobbler 2.4.0-1 is now officially available! The build process has been started for Fedora/EPEL, so the packages should be available in the -testing repos within a day or two, and in the stable branches following that (EPEL takes longer).
Major Features:
* Dynamic settings:
* Distro signatures:
* Vastly improved support for Ubuntu, OpenSUSE and VMware ESXi (5.0 and 5.1)
* Added in new templated scripting support (needs documentation)
* New web interface improvements (tabs, etc.)
* Added apt-specific fields for repositories to make mirroring them easier
* Support for parameterized classes and defines in puppet using management classes
Minor Features:
* Added the bonded_bridge_slave interface type:
* Improved template error reporting
* Variables in fields are now evaluated through the templating engine
* Added openvz as a virtualization type for koan
* Added --virt-pxe-boot option for koan to force PXE booting of new systems
* Added a per-interface gateway option, for systems that support it
* Added support for new puppet command syntax
* Exposed replication rsync options
Major Bugfixes:
* --available-as no longer copies all files.
* Improved gPXE/iPXE support, including FreeBSD
* Deleting objects now respects the --recursive option again
Minor Bugfixes:
* Too many to list
