Mainly fixes

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

This week’s release consists mainly of fixes for both the client and the server. Read on for details.

Client Changes

  • added to smart support for the “Breaks” dependency in “deb” packages
  • landscape-config can now be run in a non-interactive mode to help deploy batch installations of the client. Please see the –help screen for details
  • we are now starting to provide packages for the upcoming Ubuntu 8.10 (”intrepid”) version of the distribution
  •  the script execution plugin now properly reports the script exit code to the server so that it can be used to mark a run as failed or succeeded

Server Changes

  • fixed a problem with a “update-processes” message which was causing the server to erroneously block further messages from that client
  • added a creation timestamp to invitations so administrators can tell for how long an invitation has been unclaimed
  • fixed a concurrent access problem which would manifest itself mostly in the Monitoring page, where one or more graphs would randomly not be shown
  • fixed a problem where activities viewed for selected computers could not be dismissed
  • support-only users were being shown links to pages they had no access to
