vagrant-lxc-ng/CHANGELOG.md

1.0.0.beta1 (unreleased)

DEPRECATIONS:

• Support to all Vagrant versions prior to 1.5 are now deprecated, there is a small layer that ensures compatibility with versions starting with 1.1.5 but there is no guarantee that it will stick for too long.
• Boxes released prior to this version are now deprecated and won't be available after the final 1.0.0 release.
• --auth-key argument is no longer provided to lxc-template. This will cause all official base boxes prior to 09/28/2013 to break.

FEATURES:

• Support for NFS and rsync synced folders.
• Support for synced folder mount options allowing for using read only synced folders [GH-193]

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Added libvirt dnsmasq leases file to the lookup paths [GH-251]
• Improved compatibility with Vagrant 1.4 / 1.5 including the ability to use rsync and nfs shared folders to work around synced folders permission problems. More information can be found on the following issues: [GH-151] [GH-191] [GH-241] [GH-242]
• Warn in case :group or :owner are specified for synced folders [GH-196]

BASE BOXES:

• Switched to lxc-download as the "reference implementation" for the generic lxc-template script [GH-236]

• Include NFS client on Ubuntu and Debian base boxes [GH-218]
• Improved output for building base boxes
• Improved vagrant user sudo rights [GH-231] [GH-188]
