Releases for Hostmaster

Hostmaster is a component of the Aegir hosting system.

This is the second release of the 0.4 milestone. Many bug fixes have gone in since alpha1, plus a stack of exciting new features.

New features:

Introduce makefiles hostmaster.make and aegir.make, leveraging drush make to build an Aegir system from the ground up for the first time #588114: cannot upgrade aegir with itself because the frontend doesn't follow and #454312: self-provisionning support

Bug fixes:

* hide the Ports form field on the filesystem task in the install profile (was appearing twice) #575872: Ports: appears twice in the hostmaster install wizard
* make commands in install.sh and install.txt not bash-centric #592210: Install.sh chown: cannot access `/var/aegir/{.,*}[!.]*': No such file or directory
* standardize and clarify documentation and install profile instructions to create a mysql superuser #556548: Misleading instructions at "Configure your database server" page
* fix duplicate node_save and verify of initial platform that caused duplicate rows in db, and clean up databases affected by this from a fresh install of 0.4 alpha1 #584188: Duplicate rows in node, hosting_package tables
* make /var/aegir/config readable by the webserver so that includes to /var/aegir/config/includes/global.inc will work #588042: relnotes: /var/aegir/config should be a+X

Ægir is a set of contributed modules for Drupal that aims to solve the problem of managing a large number of Drupal sites. It does this by providing you with a simple Drupal based hosting front end for your entire network of sites. To deploy a new site you simply have to create a new Site node. To backup or upgrade sites, you simply manage your site nodes as you would any other node.

This is the final 0.3 release. This release is a maintenance release and the only project goal is the porting of Aegir 0.2 to Drupal 6. As such the code base is feature complete with the aims of the 0.2 release, but a lot of testing and debugging of the codebase has happened since the last full release which makes 0.3 probably the most tested and polished release of Aegir.

This release is the final release of our 0.2 development cycle, which has been focused on complete support for running multiple concurrent Drupal releases, and managing upgrades of sites between Drupal releases. This particular release improves the install instructions, fixes some theme issues, allows for self-upgrade of the Aegir frontend (only with the backend though), fixes some bugs with the profile installer and syncs up with the freshly release 2.0 release of Drush.

Not in this release:

Bugs Fixed:

275741 - Add documentation about httpd.conf requirement to wizard
278632 - tell the user at what time the changes will be effective (patch by anarcat)
275735 - Queue configuration is using the wrong property in display of total items.
275856 - Missing hook_perm in hosting_task.module, so users other than uid 1 can't create new tasks
