||
| Hot off the heels of the recent large release (0.0.25) I've just | ||
| released an incremental update... | ||
|
|
||
| See more here: | ||
|
|
||
| https://purpleidea.com/blog/2024/03/27/a-new-provisioning-tool/ | ||
|
|
||
| With that, here are a few highlights from the release: | ||
|
|
||
| * We have a new mgmt partner program. Please sign-up for early access | ||
| to these release notes, along with other special privileges. Details | ||
| at: https://bit.ly/mgmt-partner-program | ||
|
|
||
| * Type unification for the provisioning tool is about 40x faster. | ||
|
|
||
| * We fix a small bug related to the upcoming fedora 40 release. | ||
|
|
||
| And much more... | ||
|

| DOWNLOAD | ||
|
|
||
| Prebuilt binaries are available here for this release: | ||
| https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/releases/tag/0.0.26 | ||
|
|
||
| They can also be found on the Fedora mirror: | ||
| https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/purpleidea/mgmt/releases/0.0.26/ | ||

||
| NEWS | ||
|
|
||
| * Added old release notes into git | ||
|
|
||
| * We now skip over unreleased Fedora versions (like "40 Beta") when | ||
| trying to automatically determine the latest stable release. | ||
|
|
||
| * Type unification was structurally refactored to make way for a bunch | ||
| of future improvements and generally to modernize the code. | ||
|
|
||
| * Added some unification optimizations and a unification flag | ||
| optimizations system to allow solvers to support special flags. One of | ||
| these new flags was used for the provisioner code with a substantial | ||
| improvement in type unification time by about 40x. | ||
|
|
||
| * New cli args are also available for using these flags. | ||
|
|
||
| * We're looking for help writing Amazon, Google, DigitalOcean, Hetzner, | ||
| etc, resources if anyone is interested, reach out to us. Particularly | ||
| if there is support from those organizations as well. | ||
|
|
||
| * Many other bug fixes, changes, etc... | ||
|
|
||
| * See the git log for more NEWS, and for anything notable I left out! | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| BUGS/TODO | ||
|
|
||
| * Function values getting _passed_ to resources doesn't work yet, but | ||
| it's not a blocker, but it would definitely be useful. We're looking | ||
| into it. | ||
|
|
||
| * Function graphs are unnecessarily dynamic. We might make them more | ||
| static so that we don't need as many transactions. This is really a | ||
| compiler optimization and not a bug, but it's something important we'd | ||
| like to have. | ||
|
|
||
| * Running two Txn's during the same pause would be really helpful. I'm | ||
| not sure how much of a performance improvement we'd get from this, but | ||
| it would sure be interesting to build. If you want to build a fancy | ||
| synchronization primitive, then let us know! Again this is not a bug. | ||
|
|
||
| * General type unification performance can be improved drastically. I | ||
| will have to implement the fast algorithm so that we can scale to very | ||
| large mcl programs. Help is wanted if you are familiar with "unionfind" | ||
| and/or type unification. | ||

| TALKS | ||
|
|
||
| I don't have anything planned until CfgMgmtCamp 2025. If you'd like to | ||
| book me for a private event, or sponsor my travel for your conference, | ||
| please let me know. | ||
|
|
||
| I recently gave two talks: one at CfgMgmtCamp 2024, and one at FOSDEM | ||
| in the golang room. Both are available online and demonstrated an | ||
| earlier version of the provisioning tool which is fully available | ||
| today. The talks can be found here: https://purpleidea.com/talks/ | ||

|
|
||
| Our mailing list host (Red Hat) is no longer letting non-Red Hat | ||
| employees use their infrastructure. We're looking for a new home. I've | ||
| opened a ticket with Freedesktop. If you have any sway with them or | ||
| other recommendations, please let me know: | ||
| https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freedesktop/freedesktop/-/issues/1082 | ||
|
|
||
| We're still looking for new contributors, and there are easy, medium | ||
| and hard issues available! You're also welcome to suggest your own! | ||
| Please join us in #mgmtconfig on Libera IRC or Matrix (preferred) and | ||
| ping us if you'd like help getting started! For details please see: | ||

||
| Although asking in IRC/matrix is the best way to find something to work | ||
| on. | ||

||
| MENTORING | ||
|
|
||
| We offer mentoring for new golang/mgmt hackers who want to get | ||
