CHANGES

m2ee-tools 8.0.1, 19 Jun 2023
  * Display correct version in outputs

m2ee-tools 8.0.0, 12 Jun 2023
  * Python 3 support
  * Python 2 support dropped

m2ee-tools 7.2.3, 18 Oct 2021
  * Fix a crash in the munin plugin code when writing out the cache file with
    last known statistics fails.
  * Revise various parts of the documentation that only mentioned old operating
    system versions. Make the text more generic instead.
  * Remove documentation about the RPM packages, since those are not maintained
    since m2ee-tools 0.5.4.1 any more.
  * Fix the config module to use the yaml safe_load function() instead of
    load() without arguments, since the latter is deprecated and not possible
    in the most recent pyyaml version.

m2ee-tools 7.2.2, 21 Mar 2019
  * Include a proper bugfix for the regression in -c argument handling that was
    already quickly fixed in v7.2.1.
  * Replace the usage of the external unzip program while unpacking a
    deployment archive with the python zipfile library, since that built in
    library is sufficient for doing the needed work.
  * Fix a program crash when there's no unpacked application model.
  * Improve resetting permissions on web/ model/ and data/ in the project
    directory.
  * Remove all occurences of sys.exit(1) in library code.
  * Still provide PostgreSQL related munin graph output when the application is
    not running.
  * Improve unclear wording of how Mendix can support users of this software.
    (We can't "fully" support things a user does on their own computer.)
  * Update documentation to use Debian Stretch in the examples.

m2ee-tools 7.2.1, 27 Aug 2018
  * Fix regression in -c command line option handling. Using the option would
    crash the program.
  * Improve usability of MicroflowConstants configuration handling. Omitting
    the option or listing it without any value would crash the program.

m2ee-tools 7.2, 16 Aug 2018
  * Drop support for RHEL 6 / Centos 6
  * Drop support for Debian Wheezy
  * Don't warn about missing constants any more, but use default values from
    the application model.
  * New check_constants command in the cli to check which constant definitions
    are missing or unneeded.
  * Fix hanging and unusable m2ee cli when runtime admin port does not respond.
  * Allow persistent (or, 'early') loglevel configuration for Mendix >= 6.
  * Exit with status code 1 instead of 0 if an exception occurs when using the
    cli in one-off mode.
  * When the JVM process fails to start (the startup phase before the admin
    port comes online) when doing a detached start, capture stdout/stderr
    output of the JVM process and put it in the 'output' field of the exception
    object that is raised.
  * Add munin plugins with database statistics (open connections, database
    size, tuple mutations) when PostgreSQL is used.
  * Refresh munin documentation with new example graphs and explanations.
  * Remove system-wide-m2ee example from the documentation, it's not useful any
    more.
  * Ignore deprecated DTAPMode setting. Only try creating database in yolo mode
    instead.
  * Ignore http proxy environment variable settings for admin port connections.
  * Remove felix_config_file configuration option, it should always be set to
    the default location.
  * Python 3 compatibility. This is only tested with Debian Stretch. Any older
    Debian Release will not be supported with Python 3.
  * Document the Mendix 7 changed default for PersistentSessions in
    full-documented-m2ee.yaml
  * Small typo fixes, cleanups and improvements.

m2ee-tools 7.1, 2 Nov 2017
  * TODO items have been moved to github issues
  * Update nginx reverse proxy example config
  * Mention Debian Stretch as supported
  * Allow starting an application without detaching (for debugging)
  * Allow setting loglevels with spaces
  * Make show_cache_statistics an official command
  * Don't report actions as not implemented while starting. This
    introduces a new exception type: M2EERuntimeNotFullyRunning
  * Distinguish between a non available Admin API port and a timeout
    that happens when handling a request. This introduces a new exception type:
    M2EEAdminTimeout
  * Increase the default timeout for stopping
  * Small fixes and cosmetics in code and CLI output

m2ee-tools 7.0, 13 Feb 2017
  * Major rewrite of internal error handling. Boolean return codes have been
    replaced with proper exception handling.
  * Cleanup of nagios plugin messages, to make them more
    understandable
  * The built-in nagios plugin now checks license expiry. It's
    currently hard coded to 30 days for warning and 7 days for critical.
  * Drop Mendix 2.5 compatibility. (now supports at least 3.0)
  * Drop python 2.5 compatibility (2.7 recommended)
  * The download runtime command now uses curl and handles incomplete
    downloads more nicely.
  * A new interactive command is added, cleanup_runtimes, which
    removes unused downloaded Mendix Runtime versions.
  * During statistics gathering in the munin plugin, the timeout when
    contacting the Runtime Admin API has been lowered, so that a non-responding
    application will not cause skipping other plugins that still have to be run
    on the host.

m2ee-tools 0.5.11.3, 26 Jul 2016
