Changelog

vland 0.7

 * Added new driver to support the Mellanox SN2100 switch, using MLNX-OS
 * Renamed the admin program from "admin.py" to "vland-admin" to make
   packaging easier
 * Minor changes to the database code:
   + Automatic schema updates at vland startup
   + Add extra lock_reason field in the port table, and code to match
   + Use a different cursor type for row-based lookups to improve
     maintainability
 * Added new feaure - support for admins to store a reason when locking
   ports
 * Small changes in the web interface port popup:
   + Will now display the lock reason
   + Will now display the port name as displayed by the switch

vland 0.6

 * Major changes to admin interface command-line:
   + Switch from optparse to argparse for much better support of complex
     command lines, using sub-commands instead of arguments and named
     arguments instead of positional arguments. Example:
       $ admin.py --create_vlan test30 30 false
     now becomes
       $ admin.py create_vlan --name test30 --tag 30 --is_base_vlan false
    + admin.py will now exit non-zero when commands fail rather than
      (falsely) always indicate success.
 * Errors are tracked better internally, and distinguished in various
   places between "object not found" and "misc error".
 * Misc small bugfixes

vland 0.5

 * Large numbers of bugfixes and code cleanups

     visualisation can be seen from other machines
   + Add an option to auto-refresh in the browser
   + Improve error logging
   + Add caching of graphics for improved performance
   + Improve compliance with HTTP headers
   + Add popup tooltips for more information about configuration of ports

vland 0.4

 * Large numbers of bugfixes and code cleanups
 * Code changes for integration with LAVA:
   + Added db.find_lowest_unused_vlan_tag()
   + create_vlan() with a tag of -1 will find and allocate the first
     unused tag automatically
 * Add port *numbers* as well as names to the ports database, to give
   human-recognisable references. See README.port-numbering for more
   details.
 * Add tracking of trunks, the inter-switch connections, needed for
   visualisation diagrams.
 * Add a simple http-based visualisation feature:
   + Generate network diagrams on-demand based on the information in the
     VLANd database, colour-coded to show port configuration
   + Generate a simple website to reference those diagrams.
 * Allow more ports to be seen on Catalyst switches
 * Add a systemd service file for vland

   + Move more of the core test code into the test-common utility library
   + Massively improved the check-networks test runner for the test hosts
