Changelog

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
   + More robust error handling and logging
 * Lots of improvements to the visualisation code:
   + Bind to any interface, not just localhost so that the
     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
 * Add a special dummy switch driver to help with debugging and testing
 * In database multi-element calls, sort the output for consistency
 * Add a database last-modified-time to help with caching
 * Make 404 errors more descriptive

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

vland 0.3

 * Massive numbers of bugfixes and code cleanups
 * Added two new switch drivers:
   + TP-Link TL-SG2XXX family (TPLinkTLSG2XXX)
   + Netgear XSM family (NetgearXSM)
 * Added "debug" option to all the switch drivers to log all interactions
 * Added internal caching of port modes within the driver core for a large
   speed-up in normal use
 * Bug fix to handling of trunk ports in the CiscoCatalyst driver,
   improving VLAN interop with other switches
 * Huge changes to the test lab, now using 5 switches and 10 hosts
 * Big improvements to the test suite:
   + Match the new test lab layout
   + Move more of the core test code into the test-common utility library
   + Massively improved the check-networks test runner for the test hosts
   + Added parsing of the UP/DOWN results in test-common to give a simple
     PASS/FAIL result for each test
   + Added more tests
 * All logging now in UTC
