Version 0.16, released 2020-06-06
Progress output is now flushed after every write. This matters, when the output goes to a pipe, because then Python would buffer the output, meaning that progress output gets delayed until the buffer fills up, and that's useless.
The documentation is now formatted using Subplot. Previously, the manual and the acceptance test suite were split into separate, but confusingly named files (vmdb2.md vs vmdb2.mdwn); now they are combined. The manual has been cleaned up a bit.
Add a
quiet
field to the grub step to configure the kernel boot to be quiet or not. Default is now not quiet, which is a change from before.Add a
timeout
field to the grub step to configure grub menu timeout. Default is now zero seconds, which is a change from the Debian default of five seconds.Symbolic links can now be used in the mkpart step for device files, thanks to Tim Small.
