NCAE: Release Notes

Features

• NCAE now supports basic workflows! These actions are supported:
  
  1) Management (create, re-deploy, decommission) of child services within services. These child services can use Jinja templating based on the parent data and callback data.
  
  2) Polling: Wait until an action has finished before continuing
  
  3) Skipping of Phases, based on CMDB conditions (e.g. state of a specified field) or changes of the CMDB
  
  The frontend bits will be improved with the release of the new frontend version.

‍

• Reports now provide categories. This enables creation of small, specialized Reports that should only be used for lookups within Service Instances. These Reports are called „system“ Reports and are filtered out by default on the Report list.

Bugfixes and minor changes

• Frontend v2: Allow direct creation of new credentials within the „Add Device“ form.
• The Buckets API endpoint now supports filtering according to the ID.
• Phase names are unique per service.
• Improved defaults and samples for the fields: Dynamic Dropdown and Dynamic Combobox.
• Multiple updates for the upcoming migration to a new frontend.
• Reports containing newlines are now properly handled: newlines are displayed on the frontend, and stripped when exporting to CSV.
• Bugfix: the column order on the extended CSV export was sometimes wrong.
• Ability to configure a VM Backup and store it encrypted externally via (FTP / FTPS) or 22 (SSH)
