nimbus-cloud-client-013
-----------------------

[*] Corrected sample cluster xml files

[*] Added --kernel option.  If you have coordinated with your administrator to
    use an alternate kernel, use this option to activate it.


nimbus-cloud-client-012
-----------------------

[*] Fixed bug in argument handling for --broker-url and --broker-id (bug6732)

[*] Added new meta-cloud-client that supports deploying a cluster across
    multiple clouds.

[*] Added properties for context broker URL and identity. These simplify
    launching workspaces at one site while using a context broker at
    another.


workspace-cloud-client-011
--------------------------

[*] A lone invocation of "--status" (which prints all your currently running
    instances) will now print the associated cloud handle of each workspace.

[*] Java 1.5 (Java 5) is now a requirement

[*] Support for "new style" contextualization (Nimbus TP2.2).  If you are
    using a previously created cluster image you will need to use an older
    cloud client to launch it unless you update the onboard ctx-agent.
    
    The TP2.2 service side is backwards compatible with the "old style"
    contextualization but the cloud client only supports the new one.

    ** You can only use this against Nimbus TP2.1 installations if you are
       not using contextualization **

[*] Support for contextualizing easily with EC2 resources.  See the output of
    "--extrahelp" for the new "--ec2script" option.  Sample EC2 cluster.xml
    file is @ "samples/ec2basecluster.xml"

    This will take care of the context broker interactions for you and give
    you a suggested set of EC2 commands to run (including files for metadata)
    for the virtual cluster to contextualize while running on EC2.

[*] Fixed bug in the "lib/this-globus-environment.sh" script, the X509_CERT_DIR
    variable was being set incorrectly.


workspace-cloud-client-010
--------------------------

[*] Altered the default "conf/cloud.properties" file to point to new endpoints
    for the Nimbus cloud.

[*] Added Purdue CA certificates to lib/certs {67e8acfa.0, 95009ddc.0}


workspace-cloud-client-009
--------------------------

[*] Added cluster and contextualization support.  New "--cluster" option,
    see samples directory for sample cluster definition files.

    See quickstart: http://workspace.globus.org/clouds/clusters.html

[*] Added "--usage" (-u) option to give a short syntax reminder for people
    already familiar with the cloud client.  The "--help" option is
    still the first place to look for getting started.

[*] Added ./bin/grid-proxy-init.sh that works right out of the box.

[*] Also added ./bin/grid-proxy-info.sh, ./bin/grid-cert-info.sh, and
    ./bin/myproxy.sh

[*] Added support for image compression/decompression

    See: http://workspace.globus.org/clouds/appendix.html#compression

[*] Cleaned up "--list" output.  Main enhancement is distinguishing the
    read-only template images from your own read/write images.
    
[*] Added "--networks" option to view available networks for clusters

[*] Distributing the most common trusted grid certificates (IGTF, TG/OSG,
    and DOE related).  This makes the embedded certificates directory
    more useful.

[*] No longer adding the embedded certificate directory to the trusted
    directory list.  Instead, the launch scripts are setting it as the only
    certificate directory via the X509_CERT_DIR environment variable.

[*] Added the ./lib/workspace.sh program for advanced/scripted uses.

[*] Added the samples directory and ./lib/check-trusted-certs.sh program
    to support the new "--cluster" option (see the cluster quickstart).

[*] Doesn't complain if history directory is missing, auto-creates directory.
    This allows you to run "rm -rf history" to clean up.


workspace-cloud-client-008
--------------------------

[*] Fixed bug that prevented "--run" working with "--newname".  That
    combination makes save-to-repository the default shutdown action (see
    --extrahelp).

workspace-cloud-client-007
--------------------------

[*] Added "--download" and "--delete" (see help).

workspace-cloud-client-006
--------------------------

[*] Added "--save" and "--newname" (see help).

[*] Removed bin/status.sh and bin/terminate.sh, incorporating them as sub-
    commands of bin/cloud-client.sh

[*] Cosmetic fix on error strings.

[*] Clarified help text: image repository is not shared.
      --list shows images you have access to run
      --transfer will put images in your personal directory


workspace-cloud-client-005
--------------------------

[*] Fix for strange DNS situations (set default for all actions:
    identity authorization preferred over host based).


workspace-cloud-client-004
--------------------------

[*] Initial release.
