General changes¶

New features¶

Added the web console as the default front-end, replacing the dashboard (Issue #65)
Introduced the v2 module format. V2 modules offer better integration with the Python ecosystem with regards to distribution, dependency resolution and plugin loading. For more information on v2 modules, see how to add a v2 module source, use a v2 module in your project, and install v2 modules.
Added support for Python 3.9
Added deploy method to handlers for increased flexibility in responding to events (Issue inmanta/inmanta-core#2940)
Added raw strings (r-strings) to the inmanta language (https://docs.inmanta.com/community/latest/language.html#literals-values)
Added support for Jinja 3 to std module.
Added terraform module. Allows to use native terraform providers without having to use terraform directly by using the included model generator. (https://docs.inmanta.com/community/latest/reference/modules/terraform.html)
VSCode extension interacts with the Python extension to allow venv selection.
Extended web console functionality and made it the default front-end.

Upgrade notes¶

Compiling a project no longer installs modules on the fly. Run inmanta project install to install modules. For more details see setting up a project.
The compiler venv (.env) is no longer used. The compiler uses the active venv.
The supported PostgreSQL version is now 13
The supported Python version is now 3.9
This release requires RHEL 8
Jinja templates are required to be compatible with Jinja 3.
An update of the VSCode extension is required for compatibility with this release.
Clear your browser cache after upgrading to remove the old redirection rule. If the cache is not cleared the ‘/’ route will keep redirecting to ‘/dashboard’.
The compiler and agent venv’s with a Python version older than the Python version of the Inmanta server will be moved to an .rpmsave directory at installation time. (Issue inmanta/inmanta-service-orchestrator#234)
Ensure the database is backed up before executing an upgrade.

Deprecation notes¶

inmanta module install no longer installs all modules for a project. This has moved to inmanta project install.
The inmanta dashboard is now deprecated in favor of the web console. It will be removed in a future major release.

Added support for PostgreSQL 13 (Issue #2893)

Upgrade notes¶

On newly created environments, the environment setting purge_on_delete will be set to false by default instead of true. This overrides any purge_on_delete settings on individual resources. You need to explicitly set it to true to enable the old behavior again. (Issue #2958)
inmanta compile no longer installs any modules. Run inmanta project install before compiling the first time.
“The compiler venv has been phased out. The compiler will now use the venv used to execute the inmanta compile command.” (Issue #3096)
Compiler no longer installs modules on the fly, inmanta project install needs to be run to install required modules
Clear your browser cache after upgrading to remove the old redirection rule. If the cache is not cleared the ‘/’ route will keep redirecting to ‘/dashboard’. (Issue #3497)
Project.load() no longer installs Project dependencies. Pass install=True for the old behavior.
NOTSET is no longer accepted as a log level by the agent’s context logger. It was not a valid log level before, but it was accepted by the agent.
After upgrading the Inmanta server, all virtual environments used by the compiler and the agents have to be removed. Use the following procedure to achive this:
- Stop the Inmanta server
- Remove all /var/lib/inmanta/server/environments/<environment-id>/.env directories
- Remove all /var/lib/inmanta/<environment-id> directories
- Start the Inmanta server again

Deprecation notes¶

inmanta module install no longer installs all modules for a project. This has moved to inmanta project install.
The inmanta module list -r command has been deprecated in favor of inmanta project freeze
inmanta modules update has been replaced by inmanta project update. The old command has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release. (Issue #3623)

Ensure that special characters in the resource action log are not escaped. (Issue inmanta/inmanta-lsm#699)

Various bugfixes and performance enhancements
Dependency updates
Add relation annotations to the relation attribute and resolve it for exporters to use
Documentation improvements
Add an undefined resource state to the server (#489) Previously all unknown handling was done in the server. This resulted in strange reporting as the number of managed resource could go up and down. Now, an additional resource state “undefined” is introduced. This state is handled similar to skipped during deploys. Undefined resources are undeployable.
Undeployable resources are now already marked as finished at the moment a version is released or a dryrun is requested. Resources that depend on resources in an undeployable state will be skipped on the server as well.
Sort index attributes: This patch ensure that std::File(host, path) and std::File(path, host) are the same indexes.
Improved modules list ouput: rename columns and added a column to indicate matching rows
Improve attribute check. fixes (#487)
Fix index issues related with inheritance (#488)
