source: trunk/Changelog @ 206

4.2.0
  * Added a new option for commandline and pxeconfig.conf:
    - commandline:
        -H, --skip-hostname-lookup-error When hostname lookup fails, skip it (default: False)

    - pxeconfig.conf
        skip_hostname_lookup_error: 1

    This is mostly used for cluster when you just want to install all the nodes, but not all
    racks/blade-chassis are equally filled with nodes.
    Author: Bas van der Vlies

4.1.0:
  * Added two new configuration options for pxeconfig.conf file: closes #17 
     - client_script_hook_add    : The script that must be run when we create
                                 a pxeconfig file for a host(s). This option
                                 replaces client_script_hook.
     - client_script_hook_remove : The script that must be run wehn we remove
                                 a pxeconfig file for a host(s)

    Both options are useful for firewall setups. To open/close ports.

4.0.2:

    wrong entry in /etc/services, closes #13

    Applied by: Bas van der Vlies

  * debian/control. Fixed dependecies problems for pxeconfig
    package. Added inetd | xinetd, closes #14

  * pxemenu has been updated. See:
     - INSTALL-pxemenu
     - README-pxemenu
     - Updates for SYSLINUX version 4.02.
     - Some obsolete menus (UBC,Ghost) have been removed.  
    Author: Ole Holm Nielsen

  * Added support for hosts that only can use mac address for
    pxelinux configuration.  This is used in environments 
    where dynamic ip's are used. To enable this you must set in
    pxeconfig.conf:
        [DEFAULT]
        arp_command        : /usr/sbin/arp -n


    You can use host labels as shortcuts.  Edit pxelinux.conf and add 
    for eg:
        [bas]
        mac_address: 00:19:b9:de:21:47

    Now you can use:
        'pxeconfig bas' instead of 'pxeconfig 00:19:b9:de:21:47'

    You can mix hostnames and mac-addresses on the command line

  * Removed some obselete code from pxeconfigd
    Fixed by: Bas van der Vlies
   
3.1.0:
  * Added client/daemon hook script code. Two new options
    for the pxeconfig.conf file
   - daemon_script_hook
   - client_script_hook

    We use these scripts to open (client_script_hook) and close
    (daemon_script_hook) ports on the firewall. So not everybody can do
    an rsync or use a bittorrent client to get useful info.

    Authors: Bas van der Vlies and Walter de Jong (SARA)

   option. It must be used in combinatiion with -b,--basebane, eg:
     pxeconfig --basename gb-r1n --host-range 1-2 -filename default.memtestZ

   will produce links to file default.memtest for these hosts
      - gb-r1n1
      - gb-r1n2

  If leading zeros are used, then host names will be padded with zeros.
     pxeconfig --basename gb-r1n --host-range 01-02 -filename default.memtestZ

       - gb-r1n1
       - gb-r1n2
       - gb-r2n1
       - gb-r2n2

  If leading zeros are used, then rack and/or node names will be padded with
  zeros, eg:
     pxeconfig --basename gb- --rack r01-r02 --node n01-n02 -f default.memtest

     will produce links to file defaul.memtest for these hosts:
       - gb-r01n01

 The PXE-menu tools are used to control the booting of networked computers
 directly from the computer's console at the BIOS level before any operating
 system has been loaded.  This is extremely useful for diagnostic purposes,
 or for selecting an operating system installation method, of an individual
 computer.  For further information please read the files README-pxemenu and
 INSTALL-pxemenu.
