• Let plugins add type of lists to show with the list command. [fschulze]
• Use server and instance consistently. [fschulze]
• Always make instances accessible by their full name in the form of "[master_id]-[instance_id]". Only if there is no conflict, the short version with just "[instance_id]" is also available for convenience. [fschulze]

• Catch socket errors in init_ssh_key of plain instances to print additional info for debugging. [fschulze]
• Delay setting of config file path to expose too early use of config in plugins. Refs #29 [fschulze]

1.0rc4 - 2014-05-21

• Copy massagers in ConfigSection.copy, so overrides in startup script work correctly. [fschulze]

• Fetch fingerprints only when necessary. This speeds up connections when the fingerprint in known_hosts is still valid. [fschulze]

1.0rc2 - 2014-05-14

• Moved setuptools-git from setup.py to .travis.yml, it's only needed for releases and testing. [fschulze]
• More tests. [fschulze]

1.0rc1 - 2014-03-23

• Test, enhance and document adding massagers via config. [fschulze]
• Moved ec2 and fabric integration into separate plugins. [fschulze]
• You can now have instances with the same name if the belong to different masters, they will then get the name of the master as a prefix to their name. [fschulze]

• Improved proxycommand and documented it. [fschulze]
• Make the AWS instance available in masters. This changes the get_masters plugin interface. [fschulze]

• Load plugins via entry points instead of the plugin section in the config. [fschulze]
• Allow fallback to password for ssh to plain instances. [fschulze]
• Add option to ask for manual fingerprint validation for plain instances. [fschulze]

0.13 - 2013-09-20

0.12 - 2013-09-11

• There is no need to add the AWS account id to security group names anymore. [fschulze]
• Rules are removed from security groups if they aren't defined in the config. [fschulze]
• Allow adding of custom config massagers from inside the config. [fschulze]
• Support block device maps to enable use of more than one ephemeral disk. [fschulze]
• Added do method on ec2 and plain instances which allows to call fabric commands. [fschulze]
• Use PathMassager for access-key-id and secret-access-key in the ec2-master section. This might break existing relative paths for these options. [fschulze]

• Add option ssh-key-filename to point to a private ssh key for ec2 and plain instances. [fschulze]
• Fix Fabric integration for newer versions of Fabric. [fschulze]

0.11 - 2012-11-08

• Support both the ssh and paramiko libraries depending on which Fabric version is used. [fschulze]

0.10 - 2012-06-04

• Added ec2-connection which helps in writing Fabric scripts which don't connect to a server but need access to the config and AWS (like uploading something to S3). [fschulze]
• Fix several problems with using a user name other than root for the do and ssh commands. [fschulze]
• Require Fabric >= 1.3.0. [fschulze]
• Require boto >= 2.0. [fschulze]
• Added hook for startup script options. [fschulze]
• Added possibility to configure hooks. [fschulze]

• Overwrites now also affect server creation, not just the startup script. [fschulze]
• Added list command which supports just listing snapshots for now. [fschulze]
• Added delete-volumes-on-terminate option to delete volumes created from snapshots on instance termination. [fschulze]
• Added support for creating volumes from snapshots on instance start. [natea, fschulze]

• Added help command which provides some info for zsh autocompletion. [fschulze]

0.8 - 2010-04-21

• For the do command the Fabric options reject_unknown_hosts and disable_known_hosts now default to true. [fschulze]
• Allow adding normal servers to use with ssh and do commands. [fschulze]

• Remove comment lines from startup script if it's starting with #!/bin/sh or #!/bin/bash. [fschulze]
• Removed -r option for start and debug commands and replaced it with more general -o option. [fschulze]
• Made startup script optional (not all AMIs support it, especially Windows ones). [fschulze]
• The stop command actually only stops an instance now (only works with instances booted from an EBS volume) and the new terminate command now does what stop did before. [fschulze]
• Better error message when no console output is available for ssh finger print validation. [fschulze]
• Fixed indentation in documentation. [natea (Nate Aune), fschulze]

0.3 - 2010-02-08
