      with old clients, and 1 for utilizing the new feautres.
      (CFE-3656)
    - files_single_copy body agent control attribute can now be an
      empty list (CFE-3622)
    - files_single_copy no longer treats paths of copied files as

    - Backgrounded commands are now correctly executed in the child process
      (CFE-3379)

      (CFE-3304)
    - Client initiated reporting was fixed on RHEL 8.1 (ENT-5415)

      (ENT-5309)
    - cf-check: Symlinked LMDB databases are now preserved in repair
      Performs diagnosis and repair on symlink target instead of symlink.
      Repaired files / copies are placed alongside symlink target.
      In some cases, the symlink target is deleted to repair a corrupt
      database, and the symlink is left as a broken symlink. This is
      handled gracefully by the agent, it will be recreated. Broken
      symlinks are now detected as an acceptable condition in diagnose,
      it won't try to repair them or delete them. (ENT-5162)

    - Added inform constraint to commands promises, to allow suppression of
      INFO log messages (CFE-2973)
    - Changed unless constraint to be more consistent with if
      For any situation where if would NOT skip a promise, unless
      will cause the promise to be skipped. When there are
      unresolved variables / function calls, if will skip, unless
      will NOT skip. (CFE-3160)
    - Default minimum allowed TLS version is now 1.1 (ENT-4616)
    - Network protocol version 2 is now called "tls"
      "tls" or "2" can be used in places where you specify network
      protocol. Log messages were altered, to show "tls" instead of
      "latest". (ENT-4406)
    - Introduced protocol version 3 - "cookie"
      This protocol is identical to version 2 ("tls"),
      except it allows the enterprise reporting hub to send
      the COOKIE command to enterprise hosts. This command is used for
      detecting hosts using duplicate identities. Protocol version "latest"
      now points to version 3. For community installations, it should not
      make a difference, policy servers will not send this command. The only
      visible difference is the new version number (in logs and policy).

    - Removed stime_range and ttime_range constraints from promise hash
      (ENT-4921)
    - Fixed promise result when using process_stop in processes type promises
      (ENT-4988)
    - cf-execd now sends SIGKILL to the agent process in case of
      agent_expireafter, after attempting SIGINT and SIGTERM (CFE-2664)
    - cf-serverd now tries to accept connection multiple times (CFE-3066)
    - Fixed multiple measurements tracking growth of same file (ENT-4814)

      (CFE-3140)
    - Added sys.bootstrap_id policy variable containing the ID from
      /var/cfengine/bootstrap_id.dat, if present (CFE-2977)
    - sys.interfaces now contains interfaces even when they only have
      IPv6 addresses (ENT-4858)
    - IPv6-only interfaces added to sys.hardware_(addresses,mac) (CFE-3164)
    - IPv6 addresses are now added to policy variable sys.ip_addresses
      (CFE-682)

    - hostname now allowed in bindtoaddress (CFE-3190)
    - Fixed issue when removing comments from files in various policy functions
      This also fixes many erroneous occurences of the error message
      mentioning:

         [...] because it legally matches nothing

      (A warning can still appear if a comment regex actually matches nothing).
      Also made this comment removing logic faster.

    - Local DB errors are now logged with the particular DB file path (CFE-2469)
    - cf-check: repair now preserves readable data in corrupted LMDB files
      (CFE-3127)
    - cf-check: --dump option was added to the backup command
    - cf-check: Added --no-fork to diagnose command (CFE-3145)
    - cf-check: Added -M manpage option and other common options (CFE-3082)
    - cf-check: No DB files in state dir now causes errors
    - cf-check: dump command now dumps DB contents to JSON5 (CFE-3126)
    - cf-check: help command can now take a topic as argument

3.14.0:
    - A bootstrap_id.dat file is now generated on every bootstrap
      (CFE-2977)
    - Added options to cf-net to set minimum TLS version and ciphers
      (ENT-4617)
    - Added --no-truncate option to cf-key
      This option, when used with --show-hosts changes the formatting
      of the output. Instead of padding and truncating each of the
      fields, they are printed, in full, with no padding, and separated
      by a single tab character. The output is not as pretty, but should
      be more useful for parsing by other scripts / tooling. (CFE-3036)
    - Added a new option --skip-db-check to agent and execd
      This option allows you to enable/disable database (LMDB) consistency
      checks. Initially it is disabled by default, but this will likely
      change. (CFE-2893)
    - Added a new utility to contrib: cf-remote
      cf-remote is a python + fabric tool to log in to remote hosts
      you have ssh access to. It can be used to download, transfer,
      and install cfengine packages as well as bootstrapping etc.
      At this point, cf-remote is not packaged with CFEngine, but can be
      installed separately from:
      https://github.com/cfengine/core/tree/master/contrib/cf-remote
      (CFE-2889)
    - Added derived-from-file tags to hard classes based on /etc/debian_version and /etc/issue
    - Added a function to filter CSV-files by classes (CFE-2768)
    - Forward slash is now an allowed character in module protocol commands
      (CFE-2478)
    - Augments files can now handle class expressions by appending '::'
      A condition in an augments file is treated as a class expression
      if it ends in ::. Otherwise it is treated as a regular
      expression. (CFE-2954)
    - Internal ps command can now handle longer usernames (CFE-2951)
    - Made copylink_pattern honor '/../' in copy source (CFE-2960)
    - CSV parser now supports CRLF inside double quotes (ENT-4504)
    - Added an error when a function defining a variables still fails at
      pass 3 (CFE-2983)
    - Documented cf-execd and cf-serverd response to SIGHUP in manpage
      (CFE-2853)
    - Stopped trimming leading zeroes in ubuntu minor version class
      The old version detection logic (using /etc/debian_version) was
      converting the minor version part to an integer, defining
      ubuntu_18_4 instead of ubuntu_18_04. The new platform detection
      (based on /etc/os-release) defines ubuntu_18_04. Since both old
      and new methods are running to maximize compatibility, both
      ubuntu_18_04 and ubuntu_18_4 were defined.
      This commit ensures that the old detection logic treats the
      minor version (the 04 part) as a string, not an integer. The
      change is specific to Ubuntu, and should affect Ubuntu 18.04,
      16.04, 14.04, etc. (CFE-2882)
    - SUID log permissions are now properly enforced (CFE-2919)
    - Agent log file names are now always lowercase
    - Extended module with file protocol for data (CFE-3050)
    - Fixed a segfault in 'cf-promises -p json-full' (CFE-3019)
    - Added cf-key help output to indicate ability to delete by key digest
      (CFE-2997)
    - Fixed disabling TLS 1.0 (CFE-3068)
    - Fixed growing memory footprint of daemons (CFE-3032)
    - Fixed the log message about setting collect_window (ENT-4238)
    - Fixed the log message when parsing TIME in 'ps' output fails
    - Fixed parsing of YAML values starting with numbers (CFE-2033)
    - Fixed sys.flavor on AIX (ENT-3970)
    - Fixed 6 cases where promises could get the wrong outcome
      All cases were related to error handling and detected using
      static code analysis (LGTM). They were limited to cf-monitord
      and cf-agent (guest_environments and files promise types). Due
      to a programming mistake, promise results would sometimes be
      overwritten with 'skipped' outcome. Keeping the previous
      value or making the promises 'not kept' is expected behavior.
      Added a query to our CI (LGTM) to make sure we catch this error
      on new contributions.
    - Fixed an issue while parsing ps output on AIX (ENT-4295)
    - Fixed a memory leak in filesexist function (ENT-4313)
    - Fixed a memory leak in mustache rendering (ENT-4313)
    - Fixed a memory leak in: differences(), intersection(), unique()
      (ENT-4586)
    - Fixed a segfault in policy parser (ENT-4022)
    - Connection cache is now global (CFE-2678)
    - Increased verbosity of AcquireLock permission error (ENT-4395)
    - Message about invalid class characters from module protocol moved to VERBOSE
      (CFE-2887, CFE-3008)
    - Prevented buffer overflows in cf-monitord data parsing
    - Private keys generated by cf-key are no longer encrypted
      Private key files encrypted with a broken cipher and default
      hard coded passphrase provide no real security, and is only an
      inconvenience. Maybe it was intended to add a password prompt
      later, but it's been 10 years now, and the cipher and passphrase
      remain untouched. The function which reads keys still supports
      both encrypted and unencrypted keys, it will decrypt if necessary.
    - Reduce SSL/TLS shutdowns on bad networks (CFE-3023)
    - Removed programming error in handling of process_count body
      Previously, having a failing function call inside in_range_define
      or out_of_range_define would cause a programming error when
      trying to define that as a class. Fixed it by detecting the
      case, printing a normal error, and skipping defining the class. (CFE-2067)
    - Set policy->release_id to "failsafe"/"bootstrap" when running failsafe.cf
      (CFE-3031)
    - Switched permissions of various temporary files in state to 0600
      These files were created with 0644 permissions, and then
      repaired in policy. However, since they are deleted / recreated
      periodically, it causes INFO noise. Safer and better user
      experience to create them with restricted permissions to
      begin with.
      Affected files:
      * $(sys.statedir)/cf_procs
      * $(sys.statedir)/cf_rootprocs
      * $(sys.statedir)/cf_otherprocs
      (ENT-4601)
    - string_split segments are now truncated to 1024 bytes instead of
      crashing (CFE-3047)
    - Unresolved function calls in process_select body are now skipped
      Function calls which always fail, like getuid("nosuchuser"), are
      never resolved. Previously this would cause a programming error,
      since the body is expected to have a list of strings, not
      unresolved function calls.
      The function calls are silently skipped (with a verbose message)
      as this matches the behavior of calling the functions in a vars
      promise, and using that as a body parameter.
      (CFE-1968)
    - cf-check directories can now be controlled from ENV vars (CFE-2994)
    - cf-check: Added backup command
      This command copies lmdb files to a timestamped backup directory.
      (ENT-4064)
    - cf-check: diagnose and backup now use state directory by default
      (ENT-4064)

3.13.0:
    - Add support for TLS 1.3 and its ciphersuites
    - Add 'feature' hard classes for supported TLS versions
      Different versions of TLS are supported depending on what version
      of OpenSSL CFEngine was compiled and linked with. Newly added
      feature hard classes bring that information to the
      policy. Classes like these are now defined (for supported
      versions of TLS):
      feature_tls                     source=agent,hardclass
      feature_tls_1                   source=agent,hardclass
      feature_tls_1_0                 source=agent,hardclass
      feature_tls_1_1                 source=agent,hardclass
      feature_tls_1_2                 source=agent,hardclass
      feature_tls_1_3                 source=agent,hardclass
    - Add a new variable $(sys.default_policy_path)
      A new sys variable that provides the path of the default policy
      file evaluated when no file is specified with the '-f' option.
    - Add an option to skip the initial policy run on bootstrap
      In some cases it may not be desired to run the policy as the last
      step of the bootstrap. This can be done with the new
      '--skip-bootstrap-policy-run' option for cf-agent. (CFE-2826)
    - Trigger promises.cf as the last step of bootstrap (CFE-2826)
    - Add support for overriding the package module's path (CFE-2103)
    - Add support for setting package module interpreter (CFE-2880)
    - Added --log-level option to all components
      This allows you to specify any log level (info, verbose, debug etc.).
      It is also less strict, allowing different spelling. As an example,
      --log-level i, --log-level INFO, --log-level inform are all the same.
    - Added a new binary: cf-check
      Corrupt local databases (LMDB) continues to be a problem.
      cf-check will be used to diagnose and remediate problems
      with corrupt databases. It is a standalone binary, which
      doesn't evaluate policy or use the local databases, thus
      it can be used in situations where the other binaries
      like cf-agent would hang.
      cf-check replaces our lmdb database dumper, lmdump.
      cf-check lmdump or symlinking / renaming it to lmdump
      will make cf-check have the exact same behavior as lmdump.
      cf-check will include much more functionality in the future
      and some of the code will be added to other binaries,
      for example to do health checks of databases on startup.
      Ticket: (ENT-4064)
    - Added function string_replace. (CFE-2850)
    - Allow dots in variable identifiers with no such bundle
      As described and discussed in CFE-1915, defining remote variables
      (injecting variables into remote bundles) is dangerous and must
      be blocked. However, using a dot-separated common prefix for
      variables raises no security concerns and can be considered
      valid. (CFE-1915)
    - Allow requiring TLS 1.3 as the minimum version
    - Apply augments after vars, classes and inputs in def.json
      (CFE-2741, CFE-2844)
    - Bundle name is now part of the log message when aborting a bundle
      (CFE-2793)
    - Class names set by module protocol are automatically canonified
      (CFE-2877, CFE-2887)
    - Classes failsafe_fallback and bootstrap_mode are now reported by default
    - Correct log level for data_readstringarray* (CFE-2922)
    - Do not iterate over JSON objects' properties in mustache (CFE-2125)
    - Do not render templates when passed invalid data (CFE-2194)
    - Eliminated error messages caused by attempting to kill expired processes
      (CFE-2824)
    - Fix cf-runalerts systemd unit conditions so the service will run
      (ENT-3929)
    - Fix the off-by-one error in cf-runagent background process spawning
      (CFE-2873)
    - Fixed OOB read / heap buffer overflow in evaluator (ENT-4136)
    - Fixed a memory leak which occured when reloading RSA keys from disk
      (CFE-2857)
    - Fixed a memory leak which occured while loading augments files
      (CFE-2913)
    - Fixed an issue with splay time in cf-execd (CFE-2931)
    - Fixed error handling and memory leak in cf-key (CFE-2918)
    - Fixed memory leak in JSON to policy conversion (ENT-4136)
    - Fixed memory leak in lmdb cleanup (CFE-2918)
    - Fixed memory leaks in cf-agent during bootstrap (CFE-2918)
    - Fixed memory leaks in variablesmatching() and findfiles() (CFE-2918)
    - Fixed missing class with mustache templates in warn_only mode
      (CFE-2600)
    - Fixed small memory leak in cf-serverd (CFE-2918)
    - Fixed small memory leak in cf-upgrade (ENT-4136)
    - Fixed small memory leaks of environment variable strings (CFE-2918)
    - LMDB database dumper, lmdump, no longer creates empty databases
      (ENT-4064)
    - Made variablesmatching functions treat args regexes more correctly
      variablesmatching() and variablesmatching_as_data() no longer
      use string comparison to find matches. The documentation is clear;
      arguments should be regexes (so you have to escape special
      characters).
      bundle agent main
      {
          vars:
          "myvar"
              string => "example",
              meta => {"os[linux]"};
          "matches"
              slist => variablesmatching(".*", "os\[linux\]");
          reports:
          "Match: $(matches)";
      }
      The above example is correct. If you don't escape the brackets
      like above, it will no longer work. (You probably shouldn't use
      brackets in tags anyway).
    - Prevent the init script from managing processes inside containers
      (ENT-3800)
    - Read mustache-rendered files in text mode when comparing digest
      (ENT-2526)
    - Reload persistent classes on config reload in cf-execd and cf-serverd
      (CFE-2857)
    - Fixed issue with @if macro failing when it is on the first line.
      (CFE-2817)
    - Fixed issue with cf-agent intermittently hanging on windows
      sometimes (ENT-3756)
    - change GIT_BRANCH to GIT_REFSPEC and remove Design Center vars
      (ENT-4023)
    - os-release file is now used for hard classes and sys.flavor on all linuxes
      This will improve platform detection on newer operating systems where
      /etc/os-release (or /usr/lib/os-release) is present.
      A hard class will be set for the value of the ID key (canonified with
      underscores), if it exists. If both ID and VERSION_ID exist, multiple
      hard classes will be set for all parts of the version number. The
      special variable sys.flavor will also be set by determining major
      version from VERSION_ID.
      Example os-release file:
        ID=coreos
        VERSION_ID=1185.3.0
      For the example above, sys.flavor will be coreos_1185 and 4 hard
      classes will be set; coreos_1185_3_0, coreos_1185_3, coreos_1185,
      and coreos.
      For backwards compatibility, older distribution specific logic is still
      executed and may overwrite sys.flavor and define hard classes as before.
    - refactor use of atexit to use custom cleanup function instead. On Windows
      atexit() unloads DLLs before and/or during atexit functions being called
      which causes bad behavior. (ENT-3756)

3.12.0b1:
    New Features:
    - Add a --key-type option to specify RSA key size to cf-key
    - New hash_to_int policy function (CFE-2733)
    - Issue a warning on ignored locking attributes (CFE-2748)
    - Add IPv6 hard classes with the "ipv6_" prefix (CFE-2310)
    - Introduce "missing_ok" attribute in body copy_from
      This allows to ignore missing sources in file copy operations (CFE-2365)
    - Enable Xen hypervisor detection on all x86 platforms (CFE-2203)
    - Add sys.policy_entry variables (CFE-2572)
    - Added inline_mustache template method (CFE-1846)
    - New component cf-net (cf-net is a CLI for the CFEngine network protocol,
      useful for debugging, testing etc) and accompanying policy variable
      sys.cf_net containing path to cf-net binary

    Changes:
    - Load augments at the end of context discovery
      This means that classes defined as part of the context discovery
      (e.g. 'am_policy_hub' and 'policy_server') can be used in the
      augments (CFE-2482)
    - Open measurements promise type from enterprise cf-monitord
    - Transform filesexist() into a collecting function (CFE-2744)
    - Load process table when actually needed for a processes promise (ENT-2536)
    - Ignore commented out entries in fstab when edit_fstab is true (CFE-2198)
    - Do not move obstructions in warn policy mode (CFE-2740)
    - Made the max bytes parameter to file reading functions optional (CFE-2656)
    - Do not tag large volatile variables for inventory
      sys.interfaces_data, sys.inet and sys.inet6 are commonly larger than the
      maximum data size allowed to be collected by cf-hub. Data larger than 1k
      is truncated. Instead of reporting truncated data this change stops
      tagging the variable so that it will not be collected to the Enterprise
      hub and will not be available in Mission Portal. (ENT-3483)
    - cf-execd now re-parses augments on policy reload (CFE-2406)
    - Improve misleading verbose message
      For constraints if/ifvarclass/unless, we now print the whole rval of the constraint.
      Previously the message was just "skipping variable because ifvarclass is not defined" while the variable itself was defined.
      Old message example:
        verbose: Skipping promise 'mailto' because 'if'/'ifvarclass' is not defined
      Changed to:
         verbose: Skipping promise 'mailto' because 'ifvarclass => not(isvariable("mailto"))' is not defined
      (CFE-2697)
    - Promise comments for file changes moved to verbose (ENT-3414)
    - Suppress output from systemctl based restart of services in
      bootstrap/failsafe (CFE-1459)
    - Parser can now handle larger inbut buffers (CFE-1886)
    - Improve logging of ACL errors (ENT-3455)
    - cf-execd systemd service now only kills cf-execd itself (ENT-3395)
    - Load multiple augments from "augments" string array in def.json
      (CFE-2084)
    - Improve support for Alpine Linux
    - Set the exit value when running cf-key
      When running cf-key to generate new keys, set the exit value of the
      program to be 0 on success and 1 on failure. This makes it easier to
      catch errors during setup of a new machine.
      Change the default behavior of the program to not write anything to stdout,
      opting to use the Log() function which can write to stdout and will also
      allow output to be sent to syslog.
      Add a --inform option to set the global log level to LOG_LEVEL_INFO.
      Change the permissions of the randseed file to 600 and catch the exception
      if the chmod call fails.
    - Properly reverse-resolve DNS names longer than 63 chars (ENT-3379)
    - Properly redirect init script to systemd on debian systems (ENT-3326)

    Bug fixes:
    - Disallow modifications of variables from a remote bundle (CFE-1915)
    - Speedup evalution by not copying variables table when expanding a promise
      (CFE-2524)
    - Resolve subkey conflicts when converting to JSON
      Whenever there is a conflict of array variable definitions prefer
      the container subkeys over simple values when converting to JSON
      (CFE-2536)
    - Do not ignore meta promises in server bundles (CFE-2066)
    - Add a debug log for computed class in splayclass
    - Don't error when calling isexecutable on broken link (CFE-741)
    - Fix segfault when no show-evaluated-vars/classes is specified
    - Fix memory leak in cf-execd, triggered when sending email failed (CFE-2712)
    - Fix IPv6 parsing to be un-reversed (CFE-2580)
    - Fix bug preventing permission changes on Unix sockets (CFE-1782)
    - Fix storage mount promise when existing mountpoint has a similar path
      (CFE-1960)
    - Fix segfault when cf-promises -p is called against a file with syntax
      errors (CFE-2696)
    - Fix rare cf-execd hang (CFE-2719)
    - Fix mergedata segfault when called on a non-container (CFE-2704)
    - Do not segfault if policy_server.dat only contains whitespaces and/or line breaks
    - Fix segfault on JSON policy files with no bundles and bodies (CFE-2754)


3.11.0:
    New Features:
    - Allow function calls in promiser using universal "with" attribute
      (CFE-1092)
    - Add example of with attribute (CFE-1092)
    - Detect Amazon Linux and set "AmazonLinux" hard class and
      sys.flavour variable
    - New sysctlvalue() and data_sysctlvalues() functions from /proc/sys
      (CFE-2513)
    - readdata() also auto-detects .yml files as YAML
    - Added support for ENV and CSV file parsing (CFE-1881)
    - Added vars and classes for CoreOS (ENT-3043)
    - cf-agent: implement --show-evaluated-vars and --show-evaluated-classes
    - Support for custom ports and host names as policy hub (CFE-953)
    - cf-promises: allows --show-vars and --show-classes to take an optional filter
    - Added a new tool: cf-net. cf-net is a CLI for the CFEngine
      network protocol, useful for debugging, testing etc (CFE-2493)
    - New policy variable: sys.cf_net contains path to cf-net binary
    - Read /etc/os-release into sys.os_release (CFE-1881)

    Changes:
    - readintlist() now prints an error if the
      file contains real numbers, not integers, and aborts; previously it was
      printing an info-level error message, was half-reading an integer out of
      the real, and was continuing successfully.
    - "make tar-package" should create a tarball with the contents of
      "make install" (ENT-3041)
    - Allow opening symlinks owned by root or by the current user
      (CFE-2516)
    - Change warning message about depth_search on a non directory to
      DEBUG level
    - Ensure synchronous start and stop with systmectl (ENT-2841)
    - Put logs in /var/log and PID files in /var/run when using FHS layout
      (CFE-2449)
    - readstringlist(), readintlist(), readreallist(): Print
      verbose instead of error message if file can not be read
    - cf-serverd: Do not close connection when file does not exist
      (CFE-2532)
    - policy_server.dat now appends a newline and supports host & port
    - Allow string_head and string_tail to take negative arguments
    - getvalues(inexistent_var) returns an empty list.
      Restores 3.7.x and earlier behaviour. (CFE-2479)
    - Partially restore old getvalues(array) behaviour
      Bugfix: getvalues() now behaves correctly for old CFEngine
      arrays of depth 1
      Behaviour change: it always returns a list now. Even when v is a simple
      string (i.e. not an iterable) it will return an slist with one element:
      the value of the string variable.
      Known issues: getvalues() still misbehaves with double-indexed arrays
      (see CFE-2504, CFE-2536)
    - The source version of CFEngine now installs binaries into
      bin folder instead of sbin folder (CFE-2448)
    - Don't error during dry run for proposed execution (CFE-2561)
    - Print verbose instead of error message when readfile() fails (CFE-2512)
    - cf-serverd: Auto configure max open files ulimit according to

3.10.0:
    New features/additions:
    - All new features/additions for 3.8 and 3.9 are also included in 3.10.
    - Add: Classes body tailored for use with diff
    - New feature: Classes promise: allow classes without an expression to default to defined.
    - Support for custom ports and host names as policy hub (CFE-953)
    - Add: Definition of from_cfexecd for cf-execd initiated runs
      (CFE-2386)
    - Add < <= > >= operators to eval().
    - Add testing jUnit and TAP bundles and include them in stdlib.cf
    - New function isipinsubnet() (ENT-7949)
    - LogDebug(): implement module-based debug logging.
      Now most DEBUG messages are *not* printed even when "-d" is in use, but
      the specific debug module has to be enabled on the command line. For
      example to enable all log modules, run:
      cf-agent -d --log-modules=all
    - Add: edit_line contains_literal_string to stdlib
    - add variablesmatching_as_data() function paralleling variablesmatching()
      (Redmine #7885)
    - Allow specifying agent maxconnections via def.json (CFE-2461)
    - Add getuserinfo() function
    - Add body agent control select_end_match_eof option. (CFE-2390)
    - Add class to enable post transfer verification during policy updates
    - Add ability to append to bundlesequnece with def.json (CFE-2460)
    - policy_server.dat now appends a newline and supports host & port

    Changes:
    - Rewrite iteration engine to avoid combinatorial explosion with nested variable expansions.
      This speeds up enormously the execution of policies that included long
      slists or JSON containers, that in the past didn't even terminate.
      Change: "cf_null" string literal was changed to not be something
          special, and it's now a string that can be used anywhere, like
          in slists or part of bundlesequence etc.
      NOTE: Old policy should be grep'ed for "cf_null" and in case such
        occurences were handled specially, they should be reworked.
      Change: "--empty-list--" is now never printed by format(),
          an empty list is now printed as "{  }".
      Change: Order of pre-evaluation was slightly changed, A new "vars" pass
          at the beginning of pre-evaluation was added. It used to be
          classes-vars, but it was changed to vars-classes-vars. As a
          result some classes or variables might be evaluated at a
          different time than before. As always try to write policy code that works no matter what the
          order of execution is.
          One way is to always *guard* the execution of functions to avoid
          bogus function results.  For example the following will avoid
          running execresult() bevore the file has been created:
            execresult("cmd /path/to/filename") if => fileexists("/path/to/filename");
      C internals: NULL Rlist is now perfectly valid, in fact it is the only
               way to denote an empty Rlist.
      C internals: Since a slist variable can be NULL, API of
               EvalContextVariableGet() changed: The way to detect if a
               variable is found, is not to check return value for NULL,
               but to check returned *type* for CF_DATA_TYPE_NONE.
               Fixed what I could find as wrong API uses. (CFE-2162)
    - Allow arbitrary service policies (CFE-2402)
    - Behaviour change: cf-execd: Do not append -Dfrom_cfexecd to exec_command .
      (CFE-2386)
    - Failsafe/Bootstrap no longer copy files starting with .git (like .gitignore) or .mailmap
      (CFE-2439)
    - Change: Enable strict transport security
    - Change: Disable http TRACE method
    - Change: Verify transfered files during policy update

      (CFE-2429)
    - Change: Switch processes restart_class logging to verbose
    - Change: Log level for keeping verbatim JSON to DEBUG (CFE-2141)
    - Change: Require network before cfengine services (CFE-2435)
    - Behaviour change: getvalues(inexistent_var) returns an empty list.
      Restores 3.7.x and earlier behaviour. (CFE-2479)
    - Behaviour change: when used with CFEngine 3.10.0 or greater,
      bundles set_config_values() and set_line_based() are appending a
      trailing space when inserting a configuration option with empty value.
      (CFE-2466)
    - Behaviour change: getvalues() always returns a list now. Even when v is a simple
      string (i.e. not an iterable) it will return an slist with one element:
      the value of the string variable.
    - Behaviour change: readintlist() now prints an error if the
      file contains real numbers, not integers, and aborts; previously it was
      printing an info-level error message, was half-reading an integer out of
      the real, and was continuing successfully.
    - Ensure synchronous start and stop with systemctl (ENT-2841)
    - Change select_region INI_section to match end of section or end of file
      (CFE-2519)

      if there was no previous output log and the new log was fully filtered
      by email filters. (ENT-2739)

      (ARCHIVE-1619)
    - insert_lines is no longer implicitly matching EOF as
      end of the region if 'select_end' pattern is not matched . (CFE-2263)
    - Change: Remove executable bit from systemd units (CFE-2436)
    - cf-serverd should reload def.json when reloading policy (CFE-2406)
    - Fix cf-monitord detection of usernames of the process table on AIX.
    - Speed up local and remote file copying and fix spurious errors.
      (ENT-2769)
    - Fix occasional segfault when running getindices() on a
      variable that has indices of multiple depths (e.g. both "a[x]" and
      "a[x][y]"). (CFE-2397)
    - When no file is provided when calling cf-promises
      with cf or json output, use promises.cf by default. This restores the
      previous behavior. (CFE-2375)
    - Fix: Services starting or stopping unnecessarily (CFE-2421)
    - Change: Split systemd units (CFE-2278)
    - EOF is  matched as an end of the region in edit_line
      promises only if 'select_end_match_eof' parameter is true. (CFE-2263)
    - Fix double logging of output_prefix, and log process name for cf-agent syslog messages.
      (CFE-2225)
    - Be less verbose if a network interface doesn't have a MAC address.
      (CFE-1995)
    - Fix: CFEngine choking on standard services (CFE-2806)
    - fix insert_lines related memory corruption (CFE-2520)
    - fix cf-serverd crash when reporting corrupted data. (ENT-3023)
    - Fix ability to manage INI sections with metachars for
      manage_variable_values_ini and set_variable_values_ini (CFE-2519)
    - Fix apt_get package module incorrectly using interactive mode.
    - Fix crash on Solaris when ps ucb variant is not available. (CFE-2506)
    - cf-serverd: Do not close connection when file does not exist.
      (CFE-2532)
    - getvalues() now behaves correctly for old CFEngine arrays of depth 1.
      Known issues: getvalues() still misbehaves with double-indexed arrays
      (see (CFE-2504, CFE-2536)

3.9.0:
    New features/additions:
    - Add optional interface parameter to iprange() to match only one interface.
    - Allow '=' in symbolic modes (Redmine #7826)
    - Add: FreeBSD ports package module
    - New package module for FreeBSD pkg package manager.
    - Add support for adding/removing fifos in policy
    - Add Linux parsing of /proc/net/ data.
      - sys.inet
      - sys.inet6
      - sys.interface_data
      - Data is returned as a data container.
      - See documentation for more details. (Jira CFE-1991)
    - sys.ip2iface: new reverse mapping variable from IP to interface name
    - Namespaced classes can now be specified on the command line.
    - namespaces can now be passed to cf-runagent -D and --remote-bundles
      (Redmine #7856)
    - Add 'cf-full' and 'json-full' to cf-promises '-p' option.
      They generate output based on the entire policy. The existing 'cf'
      already behaved this way, and it has now been changed to generate
      output only for a single file, which the existing 'json' option
      already does.
    - New language functions: processexists() and findprocesses()
      (Redmine #7633)
    - Implement new regex_replace() function. (Redmine #7346)
    - Add log rotation policy for state/classes.jsonl log. (Redmine #7951)
    - Added collect_vars utility bundle to stdlib
    - Intoduce report_class_log attribute to body agent control.
      (Redmine #7951)
    - Add standard_services service_method allowing for explicit usage
    - cf-promises --show-vars can now show JSON variables.
    - Add json_pipe mode to mapdata(), which allows piping a
      JSON container to an external program for manipulation and receiving
      JSON back. The jq tool is a good example where this mode can be
      useful. A corresponding $(def.jq) variable has also been added with
      a default path to this tool. See documentation for mapdata() for
      more information and examples. (Jira CFE-2071)
    - behaviour change: "true" is always defined and "false" is never defined in a context expression.
    - Add: nimclient package module for AIX
      This module provides basic functionality for using nimclient as a means
      to ensure packages are either present or absent. It does not support
      listing package updates available or provide any special caching.
    - Add callstack_callers() and callstack_promisers() functions.
    - Log variable definitions in debug output. (Redmine #7137)
    - Add: Memory information to host info report (Jira CFE-1177)
    - In Mustache templates, one can now use {{#-top-}} and
      {{/-top-}} tags to iterate over the top level element in a
      container. (Redmine #6545)
    - Add network_connections() function that parses /proc/net
    - Provide new -w argument to override the workdir for testing
    - New feature: Emails sent by cf-execd can be filtered to get
      rid of emails for unwanted log messages. The attributes
      mailfilter_include and mailfilter_exclude in body executor
      control control what to include. See documentation for cf-execd for
      more information. (Jira CFE-2283)
    - Add: file_make_mustache bundle to render mustache templates
    - Add '-n' flag to cf-key to avoid host name lookups.
    - cf-agent, cf-execd, cf-promises, cf-runagent and cf-serverd honor multiple -D, -N and -s arguments
      (Redmine #7191)
    - Add "canonify" mode to mapdata().
    - Add: printfile bodies to stdlib
    - Add: New results classes body [] (Redmine #7418, #7481)
    - Implement cf-runagent --remote-bundles and cf-serverd "bundle" access promise.
      (Redmine #7581)
    - Add commands promise arglist attribute, augmenting args attribute.
    - It's now possible to reference variables in inline JSON,
      for example: mergedata('[ thing, { "mykey": otherthing[123] } ]').
      thing and otherthing[123] will be resolved as variables, since
      they are unquoted. See the documentation for more details.
      (Redmine #7871)
    - Allow inline JSON to be used in the following function
      calls:
      - data_expand()
      - difference()
      - every()
      - filter()
      - format()
      - getindices()
      - getvalues()
      - grep()
      - intersection()
      - join()
      - length()
      - makerule()
      - mapdata()
      - maplist()
      - mean()
      - mergedata()
      - none()
      - nth()
      - parsejson()
      - product()
      - regarray()
      - reglist()
      - reverse()
      - shuffle()
      - some()
      - sort()
      - storejson()
      - string_mustache()
      - sublist()
      - sum()
      - unique()
      - url_get()
      - variance()
      For example: mergedata('[ "thing", { "mykey": "myvalue" } ]')
      See the documentation for more details. (Jira CFE-2253)
    - Add: edit_line contains_literal_string to stdlib
    - Add body agent control select_end_match_eof option. (Jira CFE-2390)

    Changes:
    - Change: classesmatching(): order of classes changed
    - Change: getindices(), getvalues(), variablesmatching(), maparray():
      order of variables returned has changed
    - Change: set_quoted_values uses bundle scoped classes
    - Change: set_config_values uses bundle scoped classes
    - Change: set_variable_values uses bundle scoped classes
    - Change: set_config_values_matching uses bundle scoped classes
    - Change: manage_variable_values_ini uses bundle scoped classes
    - Change: set_line_based should use bundle scoped classes
      (Jira CFE-1959)
    - getvalues() will now return a list also for data containers,
      and will descend recursively into the containers. (Redmine #7116)
    - Change: Improve git drop user support
    - Use new package promise as default package promise
      implementation. (Jira CFE-2332)
    - Don't follow symbolic links when copying extended attributes.
    - When a bodydefault:_ body is
      defined, it will be used by all promises of type 
      unless another body is explicitly used.
    - cf-serverd no longer appends "-I -Dcfruncommand" to
             cfruncommand, this has to be done manually in masterfiles
             body server control. (Redmine #7732)
    - eval() function arguments mode and options are now
      optional.
    - sort() function argument mode is now optional.
    - Change: returnszero() no longer outputs the output of a command.
      The output can be seen by enabling info mode (-I).
    - cfruncommand is not executed under shell. (Redmine #7409)
    - Remove: Apache CGI module
    - Change: Make maxbytes arg of readjson() and readyaml() optional
    - Classes matching agent control's abortclasses are
      now printed before exit, even if they are defined in common bundles.
      Previously the regex (in abortclasses) that matched the class was
      printed if the class was defined in a common bundle, but the class
      itself was printed if it was defined in an agent bundle. With this
      change, the defined class that caused the abort is always printed.
    - Remove: Support for email settings from augments_file (Redmine #7682)
    - Change: set_variable_values_ini uses bundle scoped classes
    - findfiles() now skips relative paths. (Redmine #7981)
    - Clients connections using non TLS protocol are rejected
      by default. . (Jira CFE-2339)
    - Change: Policy files specified in the "inputs" section of
      def.json will no longer be auto-loaded. One has to refer to the
      which are using the "inputs" field inside def.json. (Redmine #7961)
    - Change: Separate binary details from policy update (Redmine #7662)
    - Add guard for binary upgrade during bootstrap (Redmine #7861)
    - Change: Modernize pkg module and package_method
    - Remove: Userdir apache module
    - filestat(path, "linktarget") now follows non-absolute links and returns full path of target.
      This introduces a change in behaviour. Here is an example:
      $ ls -l /bin/sh
      lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jun  4  2015 /bin/sh -> dash
      Previously the filestat function would return "dash", and would also log
      an error that the file can not be read. Now it will return "/bin/dash"
      (or the final destination if it happens that /bin/dash is also a
      symlink).
      You can still get the previous behaviour by using
      filestat(path, "linktarget_shallow"). (Redmine #7404)
    - Define (bootstrap|failsafe)_mode during update.cf when triggerd from failsafe.cf
      (Redmine #7861)
    - Behavior change: The promise string of a processes
      promise now matches just the command line of each process instead of
      the line that is output by ps. This was done to reduce fragmentation
      between platforms, since ps is a very nonstandardized tool.
      (Jira CFE-2161)
    - Allowed namespace names made more strict, to disallow
      namespaces that cannot be reached. (Redmine #7903)
    - Behavior change: When using readintlist(), readreallist()
      or readstringlist(), parsing an empty file will no longer result in a
      failed function call, but instead an empty list. Failure to open the
      file will still result in a failed function call.
    - insert_lines is no longer implicitly matching EOF as
      end of the region if 'select_end' pattern is not matched .
      (Jira CFE-2263)
    - EOF is  matched as an end of the region in edit_line
      promises only if 'select_end_match_eof' parameter is true.
      (Jira CFE-2263)

      runs (longer than one minute). (Redmine #7933)
    - Fix bug which could render host unable to recover from a
      syntax error, even if failsafe.cf was utilized. This could happen if

      special file. (Redmine #7961)
    - Change: Policy files specified in the "inputs" section of
      def.json will no longer be auto-loaded. One has to refer to the
      $(def.augments_inputs) variable in the policy (the standard
      masterfiles policies include this by default). This only affects
      installations which are not based on the standard masterfiles, and
      which are using the "inputs" field inside def.json. (Redmine #7961)

    - Mustache templates: Fix {{@}} key when value is not a
      primitive. The old behavior, when iterating across a map or array of
      maps, was to abort if the key was requested with {{@}}. The new
      behavior is to always replace {{@}} with either the key name or the
      iteration position in the array. An error is printed if {{@}} is used

      upgrade. (Redmine #7528)

3.7.0:
    New features:
    - New package promise implementation.
      The syntax is much simpler, to try it out, check out the syntax:
          packages:
          "mypackage"
            policy => "absent/present",

              # Optional, default taken from common control
            package_module => apt_get,

              # Optional, will only match exact version. May be
              # "latest".
            version => "32.0",

              # Optional.
            architecture => "x86_64";

    - Full systemd support for all relevant platforms
    - New classes to determine whether certain features are enabled:
        * feature_yaml
        * feature_xml
      For the official CFEngine packages, these are always enabled, but
      packages from other sources may be built without the support.
    - New readdata() support for generic data input (CSV, YAML, JSON, or auto)
    - YAML support: new readyaml() function and in readdata()
    - CSV support: new readcsv() function and in readdata()
    - New string_mustache() function
    - New data_regextract() function
    - eval() can now be called with "class" as the "mode" argument, which
      will cause it to return true ("any") if the calculated result is
      non-zero, and false ("!any") if it is zero.
    - New list_ifelse() function
    - New mapdata() function as well as JSON support in maparray().
    - filestat() function now supports "xattr" argument for extended
      attributes.
    - "ifvarclass" now has "if" as an alias, and "unless" as an inverse
      alias.
    - Ability to expand JSON variables directory in Mustache templates:
      Prefix the name with '%' for multiline expansion, '$' for compact
      expansion.
    - Ability to expand the iteration *key* in Mustache templates with @
    - Canonical JSON output: JSON output has reliably sorted keys so the
      same data structure will produce the same JSON every time.
    - New "@if minimum_version(x.x)" syntax in order to hide future language
      improvements from versions that don't understand them.
    - compile time option (--with-statedir) to
      override the default state/ directory path.
    - Fix error messages/ handling in process signalling which no longer
      allowed any signals to fail silently
    - Also enable shortcut keyword for cf-serverd classic protocol, eg to
      simplify the bootstrap process for clients that have different
      sys.masterdir settings (Redmine #3697)
    - methods promises now accepts the bundle name in the promiser string,
      as long as it doesn't have any parameters.
    - In a services promise, if the service_method bundle is not specified,
      it defaults to the promiser string (canonified) with "service_" as a
      prefix. The bundle must be in the same namespace as the promise.
    - inline JSON in policy files: surrounding with parsejson() is now
      optional *when creating a new data container*.
    - New data_expand() function to interpolate variables in a data container.
    - Add configurable network bandwidth limit for all outgoing
      connections ("bwlimit" attribute in "body common control") . To
      enforce it in both directions, make sure the attribute is set on both
      sides of the connection.
    - Secure bootstrap has been facilitated by use of
      "cf-agent --boostrap HUB_ADDRESS --trust-server=no"
    - Implement new TLS-relevant options (Redmine #6883):
      - body common control: tls_min_version
      - body server control: allowtlsversion
      - body common control: tls_ciphers
      - body server control: allowciphers (preexisting)

    Changes:
    - Improved output format, less verbose, and messages are grouped.
    - cf-execd: agent_expireafter default was changed to 120 minutes
      (Redmine #7113)
    - All embedded databases are now rooted in the state/ directory.
    - TLS used as default for all outgoing connections.
    - process promise now reports kept status instead of repaired if a
      signal is not sent, even if the restart_class is set. The old
      behavior was to set the repaired status whenever the process was not
      running. (Redmine#7216).
    - Bootstrapping requires keys to be generated in advance using cf-key.
    - Disable class set on reverse lookup of interfaces IP addresses.
      (Redmine #3993, Redmine #6870)
    - Define a hard class with just the OS major version on FreeBSD.
    - Abort cf-agent if OpenSSL's random number generator can't
      be seeded securely.
    - Masterfiles source tarball now installs using the usual commands
      "./configure; make install".
    - Updated Emacs syntax highlighting template to support the latest
      syntax enhancements in 3.7.

    Deprecations:
    - Arbitrary arguments to cfruncommand (using "cf-runagent -o") are
      not acceptable any more. (Redmine #6978)
    - 3.4 is no longer supported in masterfiles.

    Bug fixes:
    - Fix server common bundles evaluation order (Redmine#7211).
    - Limit LMDB disk usage by preserving sparse areas in LMDB files
      (Redmine#7242).
    - Fixed LMDB corruption on HP-UX 11.23. (Redmine #6994)
    - Fixed insert_lines failing to converge if preserve_block was used.
      (Redmine #7094)
    - Fixed init script failing to stop/restart daemons on openvz/lxc
      hosts. (Redmine #3394)
    - rm_rf_depth now deletes base directory as advertised. (Redmine #7009)
    - Refactored cf-agent's connection cache to properly differentiate
      hosts using all needed attributes like host and port.
      (Redmine #4646)
    - Refactored lastseen database handling to avoid inconsistencies.
      (Redmine #6660)
    - cf-key --trust-key now supports new syntax to also update the
      lastseen database, so that clients using old protocol will trust
      the server correctly.
    - Fixed a bug which sometimes caused an agent or daemon to kill or stop
      itself. (Redmine #7075, #7244)
    - Fixed a bug which made it difficult to kill CFEngine daemons,
      particularly cf-execd. (Redmine #6659, #7193)
    - Fixed a bug causing systemd not to be detected correctly on Debian.
      (Redmine #7297)
    - "cf-promises -T" will now correctly report the checked out commit,
      even if you haven't checked out a Git branch. (Redmine #7332)
    - Reduce verbosity of harmless errors related to socket timeouts and
      missing thermal zone files. (Redmine #6486 and #7238)

    Masterfiles:

    Added:
    - Support for user specified overring of framework defaults without
      modifying policy supplied by the framework itself (see
      example_def.json)
    - Support for def.json class augmentation in update policy
    - Run vacuum operation on postgresql every night as a part of
      maintenance.
    - Add measure_promise_time action body to lib (3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8)
    - New negative class guard cfengine_internal_disable_agent_email so
      that agent email can be easily disabled by augmenting def.json

    Changed:
    - Relocate def.cf to controls/VER/
    - Relocate update_def to controls/VER
    - Relocate all controls to controls/VER
    - Only load cf_hub and reports.cf on CFEngine Enterprise installs
    - Relocate acls related to report collection from bundle server
      access_rules to controls/VER/reports.cf into bundle server
      report_access_rules
    - Re-organize cfe_internal splitting core from enterprise specific
      policies and loading the appropriate inputs only when necessary
    - Moved update directory into cfe_internal as it is not generally
      intended to be modified
    - services/autorun.cf moved to lib/VER/ as it is not generally intended
      to be modified
    - To improve predictibility autorun bundles are activated in
      lexicographical order
    - Relocate services/file_change.cf to cfe_internal/enterprise. This
      policy is most useful for a good OOTB experience with CFEngine
      Enterprise Mission Portal.
    - Relocate service_catalogue from promsies.cf to services/main.cf. It is
      intended to be a user entry. This name change correlates with the main
      bundle being activated by default if there is no bundlesequence
      specified.
    - Reduce benchmarks sample history to 1 day.
    - Update policy no longer generates a keypair if one is not found.
      (Redmine: #7167)
    - Relocate cfe_internal_postgresql_maintenance bundle to lib/VER/
    - Set postgresql_monitoring_maintenance only for versions 3.6.0 and
      3.6.1
    - Move hub specific bundles from lib/VER/cfe_internal.cf into
      lib/VER/cfe_internal_hub.cf and load them only if policy_server policy
      if set.
    - Re-organize lib/VER/stdlib.cf from lists into classic array for use
      with getvalues

    Removed:
    - Diff reporting on /etc/shadow (Enterprise)
    - Update policy from promise.cf inputs. There is no reason to include
      the update policy into promsies.cf, update.cf is the entry for the
      update policy
    - _not_repaired outcome from classes_generic and scoped_classes generic
      (Redmine: # 7022)

    Fixes:
    - standard_services now restarts the service if it was not already
      running when using service_policy => restart with chkconfig (Redmine
      #7258)

    Features:
    - Introduced "systemd" hard class. (Redmine #6995)

      (Redmine #6582)
    - Fixed data_readstringarrayidx function not preserving the order of the
      array it's producing. (Redmine #6920)
    - Fixed a bug which sometimes caused CFEngine to kill the wrong daemon
      if both the host and a container inside the host were running
      CFEngine. (Redmine #6906)
    - Made sure the rm_rf_depth bundle also deletes the base directory.
      (Redmine #7009)
    - Fixed monitord reporting wrongly on open ports. (Redmine #6926)

    - Fixed infinite loop (Redmine #6992) plus a couple more minor
      bugs in edit_xml promises.

3.6.4:
    Features:
    - Introduced users promises support on HP-UX platform.
    - Introduced process promises support on HP-UX platform.

    Bug fixes:
    - Fixed bug on FreeBSD which sometimes led to the wrong process being
      killed (Redmine #2330)
    - Fixed package version comparison sometimes failing with rpm package
      manager (Redmine #6807)
    - Fixed a bug in users promises which would sometimes set the wrong
      password hash if the user would also be unlocked at the same time.
    - Fixed a bug on AIX which would occasionally kill the wrong process.
    - Improved error message for functions that require an absolute path.
      (Redmine #6877)

    - don't add trailing delimiter when join()'ing lists ending with a
      null-value (Redmine #6552)
    - 9999999999 (ten 9s) or higher has been historically used as an upper
      bound in CFEngine code and policy but because of overflow on 32-bit
      platforms it caused problems with big numbers. Fixed in two ways:
      first change all existing policy uses to 999999999 (nine 9s instead
      of eleven 9s), second fix the C code to not wrap-around in case of
      overflow, but use the LONG_MAX value (Redmine #6531).
    - cf-serverd and other daemons no longer reload their configuration
      every minute if CFEngine is built with an inputs directory outside
      of the work directory (not the default). (Redmine #6551)

3.6.1
    New features:
    - Introduced Solaris and AIX support into the 3.6 series, with many associated build and
      bug fixes.

    Changes:
    - Short-circuit evaluation of classes promises if class is already set (Redmine #5241)
    - fix to assume all non-specified return codes are failed in commands promises (Redmine #5986)
    - cf-serverd logs reconfiguration message to NOTICE (was INFO) so that it's always logged in syslog

    Bug fixes:
    - File monitoring has been completely rewritten (changes attribute in files promise), which
      eliminates many bugs, particularly regarding files that are deleted. Upgrading will keep
      all monitoring data, but downgrading again will reinitialize the DB, so all files will be
      reported as if they were new. (Redmine #2917)
    - $(this.promiser) expands in files promises for 'transformer', 'edit_template',
      'copy_from.source', 'file_select.exec_program', 'classes' and 'action' bodies
      (Redmine #1554, #1496, #3530, #1563)
    - 'body changes' notifies about disappeared files in file monitoring (Redmine #2917)
    - Fixed CFEngine template producing a zero sized file (Redmine #6088)
    - Add 0-9 A-Z _ to allowed context of module protocol (Redmine #6063)
    - Extend ps command column width and prepend zone name on Solaris
    - Fixed strftime() function on Solaris when called with certain specifiers.
    - Fixed users promise bug regarding password hashes in a NIS/NSS setup.
    - Fixed $(sys.uptime), $(sys.systime) and $(sys.sysday) in AIX. (Redmine #5148, #5206)
    - Fixed processes_select complaining about "Unacceptable model uncertainty examining processes" (Redmine #6337)
    - ps command for linux has been changed to cope with big rss values (Redmine #6337)
    - Address ps -axo shift on FreeBSD 10 and later (Redmine #5667)
    - methods and services promises respect action_policy => "warn" (Redmine #5924)
    - LMDB should no longer deadlock if an agent is killed on the hub while holding the DB lock.
      Note that the change only affects binary packages shipped by CFEngine, since the upstream
      LMDB project has not yet integrated the change. (Redmine #6013)

3.6.0

    Changes:
    - Changes to logging output
        - add process name and pid in syslog message (GitHub #789)
        - cf-serverd logging levels are now more standardised:
          - INFO logs only failures
          - VERBOSE logs successful requests as well
          - DEBUG logs actual protocol traffic.
        - cf-serverd now logs the relevant client IP address on
          each message.
        - Logging contexts to local database (cf_classes.tcdb) has been deprecated.
        - 'usebundle' promisees are logged for all the bundle promises
        - output from 'reports' promises has nothing prefixed except 'R: '
        - a log line with stack path is generated when the promise type evaluated changes
    - LMDB (symas.com/mdb) is the default database for local data storage : use version 0.9.9 or later
      cf-agent --self-diagnostics (-x) is only implemented for TCDB, not for LMDB
    - port argument in readtcp() and selectservers() may be a
      service name (e.g. "http", "pop3").
    - Enable source file in agent copy_from promises to be a relative path.
        - file "changes" reporting now reports with log level "notice", instead of "error".
    - process_results default to AND'ing of set attributes if not specified (Redmine #3224)
    - interface is now canonified in sys.hardware_mac[interface] to align with
      sys.ipv4[interface] (Redmine #3418)
    - cf-promises no longer errors on missing bodies when run without --full-check (-c)
    - Linux flavor "SUSE" now correctly spelled with all uppercase in variables and class names
      (Redmine #3734).  The "suse" lowercase version is also provided for convenience (Redmine #5417).
    - $(this.promise_filename) and $(..._dirname) variables are now absolute paths. (Redmine #3839)
    - including the same file multiple times in 'body control inputs' is not an error
    - portnumber in body copy_from now supports service names like
      "cfengine", "pop3" etc, check /etc/services for more.
    - The failsafe.cf policy, run on bootstrap and in some other
      unusual cases, has been extracted from C code into libpromises/failsafe.cf
    - masterfiles
        - cf_promises_validated is now in JSON format
        - timestamp key is timestamp (sec since unix epoch) of last time validated
        - the masterfiles now come from https://github.com/cfengine/masterfiles and are
          not in the core repository
    - cf-serverd calls cf-agent with -Dcfruncommand when executing cf-runagent requests
      - Mark as removed: promise_notkept_log_include, promise_notkept_log_exclude, promise_repaired_log_include,
    promise_repaired_log_exclude, classes_include, classes_exclude, variables_include,
    variables_exclude attributes from report_data_select body (syntax is valid but not functional).
    They have been replaced by the following attributes: promise_handle_include,
    promise_handle_exclude, metatags_include, metatags_exclude.

    New features:
    - New promise type "users" for managing local user accounts.
    - TLS authentication and fully encrypted network protocol.
      Additions specific to the new type of connections:
        - New attribute "allowlegacyconnects" in body server control,
          which enables serving policy via non-latest cfengine protocol,
          to the given list of hosts. If the option is absent, it
          defaults to allow all hosts. To refuse non-TLS connections,
          specify an empty list.
        - New attribute "protocol_version" in body copy_from, and body
          common control, which defines the preferred protocol for
          outgoing connections.. Allowed values at the moment: "0" or
          "undefined", "classic" or "1", "latest" or "2". By leaving the
          copy_from option as undefined the common control option is
          used, and if both are undefined then classic protocol is used
          by default.
        - The new networking protocol uses TLS for authentication,
          after which all dialog is encrypted within the established
          TLS session.  cf-serverd is still able to speak the legacy
          protocol with old agents.
        - The 'skipverify' option in 'body server control' is
          deprecated and only left for compatibility; it does
          nothing
        - cf-serverd does not hang up the connection if some request
          fails, so that the client can add more requests.
        - For the connections using the new protocol, all of the
          paths in bundle server access_rules now differentiate
          between a directory and a file using the trailing
          slash. If the path exists then this is auto-detected and
          trailing slash appended automatically. You have to append
          a trailing slash manually to an inexistent or symbolic
          path (e.g. "/path/to/$(connection.ip)/") to force
          recursive access.
    - New in 'access' promises for 'bundle server access_rules'
        - Attributes "admit_ips", "admit_hostnames", "admit_keys",
          "deny_ips", "deny_hostnames", "deny_keys"
        - "admit_keys" and "deny_keys" add the new functionality
          of controlling access according to host identity,
          regardless of the connecting IP.
        - For these new attributes, regular expressions
          are not allowed, only CIDR notation for "admit/deny_ips", exact
          "SHA=..." strings for "admit/deny_keys", and exact hostnames
          (e.g. "cfengine.com") or subdomains (starting with dot,
          e.g. ".cfengine.com") for "admit/deny"_hostnames. Same rules
          apply to 'deny_*' attributes.
        - These new constraints and the paths in access_rules, can contain
          special variables "$(connection.ip)", "$(connection.hostname)",
          "$(connection.key)", which are expanded dynamically for every
          received connection.
        - For connections using the new protocol, "admit" and "deny"
          constraints in bundle server access_rules are being phased
          out, preferred attributes are now "admit_ips", "deny_ips",
          "admit_hostnames", "deny_hostnames", "admit_keys",
          "deny_keys".
        - New "shortcut" attribute in bundle server access_rules used to
          dynamically expand non-absolute request paths.

       - Improved security checks of symlink ownership. A symlink created by a user pointing
     to resources owned by a different user will no longer be followed.
       - Changed the way package versions are compared in package promises. (Redmine #3314)
     In previous versions the comparison was inconsistent. This has been fixed, but may
     also lead to behavior changes in certain cases. In CFEngine 3.5.3, the comparison
     works as follows:
         
     For instance:
         apache-2.2.31              ">="            "2.2.0"
     will result in the package being installed.

       - file changes are logged with log level Notice, not Error
       - the CFEngine Standard Library in masterfiles/libraries is now split into
     promise-type specific policy files, and lives in a version-specific directory.
     This should have no impact on current code, but allows more granular include of
     needed stdlib elements (Redmine #3044)

3.5.0

       New features:
       - classes promises now take an optional scope constraint.

     - some
     - nth
     - sublist
     - uniq
     - filter
     - classesmatching
     - strftime
     - filestat
     - ifelse
     - maparray
     - format
       - cf-promises flag --parse-tree is replaced by --policy-output-format=, requiring the
      user to specify the output format (none, cf, json)
       - cf-promises allows partial check of policy (without body common control) without integrity check;
      --full-check enforces integrity check
       - agent binaries support JSON input format (.json file as generated by cf-promises)
       - cf-key: new options --trust-key/-t and --print-digest/-p
       - Class "failsafe_fallback" is defined in failsafe.cf when main policy contains errors and
     failsafe is run because of this

       - Enable zeroconf-discovery of policy hubs for automatic bootstrapping
     if Avahi is present
       - Support for sys.cpus on more platforms than Linux & HPUX

       Changes:
       - parser no longer allows ',' after promiser or promisee. must be either ';' or lval
       - Make parser output in GCC compatible format the only supported format
     (remove --gcc-brief-format flag)

       - Silence license warnings in Enterprise Free25 installations
       - action_policy => "warn" causes not_kept classes to be set on promise needing repair.
       - command line option version (-V) now prints a shorter parsable version without graphic
       - implicit execution of server and common bundles taking arguments is skipped in cf-serverd.
       - WARNING: option --policy-server removed, require option to --bootstrap instead
       - process promises don't log if processes are out of range unless you
     run in verbose mode
       - reports promises are now allowed in any context (Redmine #2005)
       - cf-report has been removed
       - cf-execd: --once implies --no-fork
       - Version info removed from mail subject in the emails sent by cf-execd.
     The subject will only contain "[fqname/ipaddress]" instead of "communnity/nova [fqname/ipaddress]"
     Please change your email filters accordingly if necessary.
       - "outputs" promise type is retired. Their semantics was not clear, and the functionality
     is better suited for control body setting, not a promise.
       - Tokyo Cabinet databases are now automatically checked for
     correctness during opening. It should prevent a number of issues
     with corrupted TC databases causing binaries to hang.
       - Improved ACL handling on Windows, which led to some syntax changes. We now consistently
     use the term "default" to describe ACLs that can be inherited by child objects. These
     keywords have received new names:
       acl_directory_inherit -> acl_default
        specify_inherit_aces -> specify_default_aces
     The old keywords are deprecated, but still valid. In addition, a new keyword
     "acl_inherit" controls inheritance behavior on Windows. This feature does not exist on
     Unix platforms. (Redmine #1832)
       - Networking code is moved from libpromises to its own library,
     libcfnet. Work has begun on making the API more sane and thread-safe.
     Lots of legacy code was removed.
       - Add getaddrinfo() replacement in libcompat (borrowed from PostgreSQL).
       - Replace old deprecated and non thread-safe resolver calls with
     getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo().
       - Hostname2IPString(), IPString2Hostname() are now thread-safe, and are
     returning error when resolution fails.
       - Running cf-execd --once now implies --no-fork, and also does not wait
     for splaytime to pass.
       - execresult(), returnszero() and commands promises no longer requires the first word
     word to be an absolute path when using the shell. (Part of Redmine #2143)
       - commands promises useshell attribute now accepts "noshell" and "useshell" values. Boolean
     values are accepted but deprecated. (Part of Redmine #2143)
       - returnszero() now correctly sets the class name in this scenario  (Part of
     Redmine #2143):
       classes:
         "commandfailed" not => returnszero("/bin/nosuchcommand", "noshell");

    - VirtualBox support added to guest_environment promises.

    - guest_environment promises are supported under OS X.

    - The "depends_on" attribute is now active, for the partal ordering
      of promises. If a promise depends on another (referred by handle)
      it will only be considered if the depends_on list is either kept
      or repaired already.

      ** WARNING: When upgrading, make sure that any existing use
              of depends_on does not make some promises being
              unintentionally ignored. This can happen if you are
              currently referring to non-existent or never-run handles
              in depends_on attributes.

    - methods return values, initial implementation

    - New format for cf-key -s, includes timestamp of last connection

    - cf-promises --parse-tree option to parse policy file and dump it
      in JSON format

    - Namespaces support for bundles and bodies. See the
      examples/unit_namespace*.cf for the usage.

    - Default arguments for bundles. See the examples/unit_defaults.cf

    - Metadata promise type. See the examples/unit_meta.cf

    New semantics:

    - Methods promises now return the status of promises
      kept within them. If any promise was not kept, the method is not
      kept, else if any promise is repaired, the method was repaired
      else it was kept.
    - Remote variable access in namespaces by $(namespace:bundle.variable)

    Changed functionality:

    - cf-execd -F switch no longer implies 'run once'. New -O/--once
      option is added to achieve this behaviour. This makes cf-execd
      easier to run from systemd, launchd and other supervision
      systems.

    Misc:

    - Support for the following outdated platforms and corresponding
      classes has been removed. De facto those platforms were
      unsupported for a long time, as CFEngine codebase uses C99
      language features unavailable on old platforms:

       - SunOS 3.x (sun3)
       - SunOS 4.x (sun4)
       - Ultrix (ultrix)
       - DEC OSF/1 AXP (osf)
       - Digital UNIX (digital)
       - Sony NEWS (newsos)
       - 4.3BSD (bsd4_3)
       - IRIX (irix, irix4, irix64)
       - IBM Academic Operating System (aos)
       - BSD/OS / BSDi / BSD/386 (bsdos)
       - NeXTSTEP (nextstep)
       - GNU Hurd (gnu)
       - NEC UX/4800 (ux4800)

    - (Old news) Since 3.3.0 the layout of CFEngine Community packages
      has changed slightly.

      cf-* binaries have been moved to /var/cfengine/bin, due to the
      following reasons:

       - cf-* binaries are linked to libraries installed to
         /var/cfengine/lib, so placing binaries in /usr/local/sbin does not
         increase reliability of the CFEngine,

       - keeping whole CFEngine under single prefix (/var/cfengine)
         makes packaging simpler,

       - it matches the layout of CFEngine Enterprise packages.

       Please adjust your policies (the recommended ways to deal with
       the move are either to adjust $PATH to include /var/cfengine or to
       create symlinks in /usr/local/sbin in case you are relying on
       binaries to be available in $PATH).

    - Workdir location is properly changed if --prefix or --enable-fhs
      options are supplied to configure (Mantis #1195).

    - Added check for broken libmysqlclient implementations (Mantis #1217).

    - Standard library is updated from COPBL repository.

    - cf-know is no longer built in Community releases. The only
      functionality useful in Community, namely the reference manual
      generation, is provided by new compile-time cf-gendoc tool.

    - Filename (for storing filechanges) changed
      from file_change.log -> file_changes.log (in /var/cfengine/state)

      New format for storing file changes introduced:
      [timestamp,filename,,Message]

      N = New file found
      C = Content Changed
      S = Stats changed
      R = File removed

    - Acceptance test suite passes on Mac OS X.

    - Changed some port numbers to replace old services with imap(s)

    - archlinux hard class on Arch Linux.

    - Detect BSD Make and automatically switch to GNU Make during build.

    Bugfixes:

    - cfruncommand for cf-execd is an arbitrary shell command now (Mantis #1268).
    - Fixed broken "daily" splayclasses (Mantis #1307).
    - Allow filenames up to 4096 bytes in network transfers (Redmine #1199).
    - Fix stale state preserved during cf-serverd reload (Redmine #1487).
    - Free disk space calculation is fixed (Mantis #1120).
    - Numerous portability bugfixes (especially OpenBSD, Solaris, AIX-related).
    - Compatibility fixes for AIX, HP-UX, Solaris (Mantis #1185, Mantis #1177, Mantis #1109).
    - Fixed broken socklen_t configure check under OpenBSD (Mantis #1168).
    - Fixed hang in cf-promises under OpenBSD (Mantis #1113).
    - Fixed endless loop in evaluating "$()" construct (Mantis #1023).
    - Fixed check for old PCRE versions (Mantis #1262).
    - Fixed insertion of multi-line blocks at the start of file (Mantis #809).
    - Fixed numerous memory leaks.
    - Fixes for metadata that were not resolvable
    - Fixes for namespaces that would not support metadata and variable expansion
    - Point-to-point network interfaces are detected and reported by CFEngine (Mantis #1246)
    - Partial non-GNU userspace support in acceptance testsuite (Mantis #1255)

    Full list of issues fixed is available on
    https://cfengine.com/bugtracker/changelog_page.php (old bug tracker)
    and https://cfengine.com/dev/projects/core/versions/34 (new bug tracker)

3.3.9   (Bugfix and Stability release)

    Bugfixes:

    - Do not lose hard classes in cf-serverd during policy reload
      (Mantis #1218).
    - Implement receive network timeout in cf-serverd. Prevents
      overloading cf-serverd with stale connections.

3.3.8   (Bugfix and Stability release)

    Versions 3.3.6, 3.3.7 were internal and weren't released.

    Bugfixes:

    - Propery set sys.domain variable if hostname is fully-qualified.
    - Fixed several small memory leaks.
    - Make network timeout for network reads configurable. Previously
      it was hardcoded to be 30 seconds, which was not enough for
      cf-runagent invoking cf-agent on big policies (Mantis #1028).

3.3.5   (Bugfix and Stability release)

    Bugfixes:

    - Fixed cf-execd memory leak on hosts with cf-monitord running.
    - Robustify against wrongly-sized entires in embedded databases.

    Standard library:

    - Bugfixes from upstream COPBL repository.
    - standard_services bundle from upstream COPBL repository.


3.3.4   (Bugfix and Stability release)

    Evaluation of policies:

    - Fix wrong classes set after installation of several packages
      using packages promises (Mantis #829).
    - Fix segfault using edit_template on existing file (Mantis #1155).

    Misc:

    - Fix memory leak during re-read of network interfaces'
      information in cf-execd/cf-serverd.

3.3.3   (Bugfix and Stability release)

    Evaluation of policies:

    - Zero-length files are valid for readfile() and similar functions
      (Mantis #1136).
    - Unchoke agent in case it encounters symlinks in form ./foo
      (Similar to Mantis #1117).

    Misc:

    - Fix generation of reference manual on machines with umask more
      relaxed than 022.
    - Use statvfs(3) on OpenBSD to obtain filesystem information
      (Mantis #1135).

3.3.2   (Bugfix and Stability release)

    Evaluation of policies:

    - Do not segfault if file copy was interrupted due to network
      connectivity or server going away (Mantis #1089).
    - Do not segfault if log_failed attribute is present in body, but
      log_kept is not (Mantis #1107).
    - Do not mangle relative paths in symlinks during file copy
      Previously symlink a -> b was mangled to a -> ./b.
      (Mantis #1117)
    - Properly compare 1.0 and 1.0.1 in packages promises. Previously
      only versions with equal amount of "segments" were comparable
      (Mantis #890, #1066).

    Base policy:

    - Properly set permissions on files for /var/cfengine/lib on HP-UX
      (Mantis #1114).
    - Standard library (cfengine_stdlib.cf) is synced with COPBL
      repository.

    Misc:

    - Do not create huge file in case corrupted TokyoCabinet database
      is detected (Mantis #1106).
    - Fix file descriptor leak on error paths, may have caused crashes
      of cf-execd and cf-serverd (Issue #1096).
    - Fix intermittent segfault in cf-execd (Mantis #1116).
    - Impose an upper limit on amount of listening sockets reported by
      cf-monitord. Huge amounts of listening sockets caused cf-agent to
      segfault on next run (Mantis #1098).
    - Add missing function prototypes caused errors during compilation
      on HP-UX (Mantis #1109).
    - Fix compilation on Solaris 11 (Mantis #1091).

3.3.1   (Bugfix and Stability release)

    Evaluation of policies:

    - Do not cut off name of bundle in variables interpolation (Mantis #975).
    - Do not segfault in function evaluation guarded by ifvaclass clause (Mantis #1084, #864).
    - Do not segfault if "classes" promise does not declare any value to be evaluated (Mantis #1074).
    - Do not segfault in database promises if there is no
        database_operation provided (Mantis #1046).

    Built-in functions:

    - Fix countclassesmatching() function which was misbehaving trying
        to match classes starting with alphanumeric symbol (Mantis #1073).
    - Fix diskfree() to return kilobytes, as described in documentation (Mantis #980, #955).
    - Fix hostsseen() function to avoid treating all hosts as not
        being seen since 1970 (Mantis #886).
    - Do not output misleading error message if readtcp() is unable to connect (Mantis #1085).

    Command-line interface:

    - -d option previously reqired an argument, though help message disagreed (Mantis #1053).
    - Disable --parse-tree option, not ready for the release (Mantis #1063).
    - Acept -h as a --help option.
    - Ensure that cf-execd might be started right after being shut down.

    Misc:

    - Plug file descriptor leak after failed file copy (Mantis #990).
    - Fix unsafe admit rules in default promises.cf (Mantis #1040).
    - Fix splaytime to match documentation: it is specified in minutes, not seconds (Mantis #1099).

    Packaging:

    - Fix owner/group of initscript and profile.d snippet in RPM builds (Mantis #1061, #1058).
    - Fix location of libvirt socket CFEngine uses to connect to libvirtd (Mantis #1072).
    - Install CoreBase to /var/cfengine/masterfiles during installation (Mantis #1075).
    - Do not leave old cf-twin around after upgrade (Mantis #1068)
    - Do not leave rcS.d symlinks after purging .deb package (Mantis #1092).

3.3.0

    New promise types:
    - Guest environments promises, which allow to manipulate virtual
      machines using libvirt.
    - Database promises, which allow to maintain schema of MySQL and
      PostgreSQL databases. Database promises are in "technical preview"
      status: this promise type is subject to change in future.
    - Services promises for Unix, allows abstraction of details
      on managing any service

    New built-in functions:
    - dirname() to complement lastnode()
    - lsdir()
    - maplist() to apply functions over lists

    New features:
    - Allow defining arrays from modules.
    - Allow both process_stop' and signals' constraints in
      processes' promises at the same time.
    - cf-promises --gcc-brief-format option to output warnings and
      errors in gcc-compatible syntax which to ease use "go to next
      error" feature of text editors.
    - Iteration over lists is now allowed for qualified (non-local) lists.

    New built-in variables and classes (Linux):
    - Number of CPUs: $(sys.cpus), 1_cpu, 2_cpus etc

    New built-in variables and classes (Unices):
    - $(sys.last_policy_update) - timestamp when last policy change was seen by host
    - $(sys.hardware_addresses) - list of MAC adresses
    - $(sys.ip_addresses) - list of IP addresses
    - $(sys.interfaces) - list of network interfaces
    - $(sys.hardware_mac[$iface]) - MAC address for network interface
    - mac_:: - discovered MAC addresses

    Changes:

    - Major cleanup of database handling code. Should radically decrease
      amount of database issues experienced under heavy load.

      *WARNING*: Berkeley DB and SQLite backends are *removed*, use
      Tokyo Cabinet or QDBM instead. Both Tokyo Cabinet and QDBM are
      faster than Berkeley DB in typical CFEngine workloads.

      Tokyo Cabinet requires C99 environment, so it should be
      available on every contemporary operating system.

      For the older systems QDBM, which relies only on C89, is a
      better replacement, and deemed to be as portable, as Berkeley DB.

    - Change of lastseen database schema. Should radically decrease
      I/O contention on lasteen database.

    - Automatic reload of policies by cf-execd.
    - Documentation is generated during build, PDF and HTML files are
      retired from repository.
    - Rarely used feature retired: peer connectivity intermittency calculation.
    - Memory and CPU usage improvements.
    - Testsuite now uses 'make check' convention and does not need root
      privileges anymore.
    - cf_promises_validated now filled with timestamp, allows digest-copy
      for policy instead of mtime copy which is safer when clocks are unsynchronised
    - The bundled failsafe.cf policy now has trustkey=false to avoid IP spoofing
      attacks in default policy
    - See the full list of bugfixes at
      https://cfengine.com/bugtracker/changelog_page.php

    Enabled compilation using HP ANSI C compiler

    Full list of issues fixed is available on
    https://cfengine.com/bugtracker/changelog_page.php

3.2.0
    New bootstrap method with single-command bootstrapping:
    - cf-agent --bootstrap --policy-server 123.456.789.123
    - Associated policy template files are added, partially maintained
      by CFEngine

    Bug fixes for file-editing, package versioning, and embedded
    database corruption (We recommend using TokyoCabinet instead of
    BerkeleyDB if building from source).

    Improved upgrade path for Nova.

    Patches for improved run-agent concurrency

    Reorganization of documentation and community resources

    100% on regression test suite on 3 operating systems
    (Ubuntu, Debian, SuSE on x86-64 hardware)

    Support for multiple release environments

    package_policy update and addupdate now check if user-supplied
    version is larger than currently installed - updates only if so

    Help text of cf-report -r corrected - a list of key hashes is
    required, not ip addresses.

    New Emacs mode for CFEngine policy files (thanks to Ted Zlatanov!)

    Warnings are on edit_line changes can now give greater degree of information
    without spamming promise logs

    Class expressions parser accepts '||' as an alias for '|' again.

    Invalidation of package list cache on installation/removal of
    packages.

    New option cf-key -r to remove host key by IP or hostname.

    Added detection of network interfaces which belong to BSD jails.

    Improve robustness of multi-threaded code, in particular fix
    problems with spurious access denials in server and losing of
    authentication rules after policy reload.

    cf-promises accepts option -b matching cf-agent, which causes it
    to do not complain about missing bundlesequence.

    New functions and(), not(), or() and concat() to ease use of
    ifvarclass() clause.

    Full list of issues fixed is available on
    https://cfengine.com/bugtracker/changelog_page.php

3.1.5
    New class parser, '||' is no longer allowed in expressions (use '|').

    Class setting in the promise types insert_lines, delete_lines,
    replace_patterns, field_edits, vars, classes is restored.

    suspiciousnames implemented.

    New function getvalues().

    New functions parse{read,int,string}array to match read{read,int,string}array.

    Testsuite added to check for core functionality.

    Syslog prefix is fixed to say 'cf3' instead of 'community'.

3.1.4   (Bugfix and Stability release)

    Some urgent patches to 3.1.3.
    Class validation parse bug fixed.
    Global zone handling error for solaris fixed.
    Package architectures handled correctly (bug #456).
    Reading and writing of key name "root-.pub" eliminated (bug #442, #453).
    cf-serverd crash because of race condition on SERVER_KEYSEEN fixed.
    Lock purging to avoid remnant complexity explosion (bug #430).
    Some copyright notices added that got lost.

3.1.3   (Stability release)

    Major memory leaks in cf-monitord, cf-execd, cf-serverd fixed (bug #427).
    The daemons now show no growth even with very complex policies.

    cf-serverd crash due to race condition in DeleteScope() fixed (bug #406).

    Added 30 second timeout on recv() on Linux.

    package_noverify_returncode implemented (bug #256).

    A flexible mechanism for setting classes based on return codes of
    commands has been introduced. Allows for setting promise kept,
    repaired or failed based on any return codes. This is currently
    implemented for commands-promises, package-manager commands and
    transformer in files. In classes body, see attributes
    kept_returncodes, repaired_returncodes, failed_returncodes (bug
    #248, #329).

    New function ip2host - reverse DNS lookup (bug #146).

3.1.2   (Scalability/efficiency release)

    Big efficiency improvements by caching output from
    cf-promises. Can also be used for much more efficient policy
    deployment (only pull if changed).

    Caching state of ps command for greater efficiency. Reloaded for each bundle.

    Index class lookup improves efficiency of class evaluation for huge configurations.

    Fixed issue where certain promiser strings got corrupted.

    cf-key -s command for showing key hash/IP address identity pairs

3.1.0
    Change in storage of public keys. Cfengine now hashes the public key and uses this
    as the keyname. Keys will be converted automatically.

    The old dynamic addresses lists are deprecated.
    Caching of dns and key information for greater server speed.
    Change in last-seen format reflects the public key usage.

    New package policy addupdate - installs package if not there and
    updates it otherwise.

    Support for package_changes => "bulk" in file repository as well.

    New special function readstringarrayidx, similar to readstringarray,
    but uses integer indices. Very useful if first row elements are
    not good identifiers (e.g. contains spaces, non-unique, etc.).

    Change two log formats to use time() instead of date()
    - filechanges
    - total compliance

    Change from using md5 to sha256 as default digest for commercial version,
    community retains md5 for compat.

    Commands not returning 0 in commands-promises are flagged
    as repair_failed.

    Adjustable timeout on connect(). Defaults to 10 seconds, adjustable
    with default_timeout in agent control.

    Redesign of the knowledge map infrastructure.

    Now possible to use variables to call methods, e.g

    methods:

      "name $(list)" usebundle => $(list)("abc");

    See reference manual notes

    Changes to normal ordering to optimize execution.

    Increased stability by always initializing Attribute and Promise
    structures.

    When running cf-promises in dry-run mode (-n), the user does not need
    to put binaries in WORKDIR/bin. For example, non-privileged users can verify root
    policies.

    Source control revision added in version string if run in verbose mode
    (e.g. "cf-promises -vV"). This needs some refining, uses revision of a header now.

    New semantics in return values of list functions. Null values are now allowed
    and there is no iteration over empty lists. The value "cf_null" is reserved for
    use as a null iterator.

3.0.5p1
    Showing paths allowed/denied access to when cf-serverd is run in verbose mode.
    Bug in server fixed for dynamic addresses.
    File handle closure bugfix - too many open databases.
    Seg fault in mount files fix.
    Twin used in cf-execd without checking.
    Check_root set wrong directory permissions at source not destination.
    Error message degraded in body definition.
    Undefined body not warned as error.
    Various build enahncements.
    Package_list_update called only once per manager, and fixed crash.
    Version number bug in packages.

3.0.5
    Encryption problems fixed - client key buffer was uninitialized.

    Classes-promisers are now automatically canonified when class
    strings are defined, to simplifying the use of variables in classes.

    New scalars sys.cf_version and sys.nova_version that hold Cfengine version information.

    Attribute package_delete_convention added, to allow customizable
    package name in delete command during update.

    package_list_update_ifelapsed limit added.

    Private variable $(firstrepo) is available in package_name_convention
    and package_delete_convention in order to expand the full path to
    a package, which is required by some managers.

    Some of the threading code is rewritten and made more robust. This includes
    synchronizing access to the lastseen database from the server.

    Bad initialization of BSD flags fixed
    Multiple variable expansion issues in control fixed for server and agent
    Allow ignore_missing_bundles to affect methods: bundles too
    Run agent trust dialogue fixed

    Bug in CPU monitoring, increasing time scale caused linear decay
    of CPU measurement.

    Bug in Setuid log storage, fix.

    Hooks added for new Nova virtualization promises.

    Multithreading mutex failed to collide during cfservd leading to dropped authentication under heavy load.


3.0.4
    Class cancellation in promises to create better class feedback,
    allows emulation of switch/case semantics etc

    Value of SA measurement promises

    Special function getenv() which returns the contents of an
    environment variable (on all platforms).
    New function translatepath for generic Windows
    New function escape() to escape literals as regular expressions (like SQL)
    New function host2ip for caching IP address lookup
    New function regextract for setting variables with backreferences

    New variables for the components $(sys.cf_agent), $(sys.cf_know) etc
    pointing to the binaries.

    More robust integrated database implementation; closing all
    handles when receiving signals, self-healing on corruption.

    Package installation on localhost without a manager like yum completed,
    multiple repositories searched, and universal methods.

    Numerous bugfixes


3.0.3
    sha256 .. new hashes in openssl included in syntax tree.

    End of line autocropping in readfile (hopefully intelligent)

    hashmatch function incorrectly implemented - old debugging code left behind. Fix.

    sys.crontab variable

    Unknown user is now interpretated as "same user", so that we give cfengine a chance to
    fix

    Unregistered addresses no longer report "(Non registered IP)", but return as the address
    itself when doing reverse lookups.

3.0.2
    IMPORTANT: Change in normal ordering of editing. replace comes
    after insert lines Much testing and minor bug fixing

    Memory leaks fixed
    Many hooks added for Nova enterprise extensions.

    promise_output reports now placed in WORKDIR/reports directory

    Initialization correction and self-correx in monitord

    Many new body constraints added.

    Code readied for enterprise version Nova.

    -b option can override the bundlesequence (must not contain parameters yet)

    collapse_destination_dir option added to copy so that files can be
    aggregated from subdirectories into a single destination.
