Changelog¶
Next feature release
- [Support] #1229: Add some missing API doc hyperlink references. Thanks to Tony Narlock.
- [Support] #958: Remove the Git SHA portion of our version string generation; it was rarely useful & occasionally caused issues for users with non-Git-based source checkouts.
- [Support] #1213: Add useful exception message to the implicit
SystemExit
raised by Fabric’s use ofsys.exit
inside theabort
function. This allows client code catchingSystemExit
to have better introspection into the error. Thanks to Ioannis Panousis.
1.10.1 2014-12-19
- [Bug] #1226: Update
get
to ensure thatenv.user
has access to tempfiles before changing permissions. Also corrected permissions from 404 to 0400 to match comment. Patch by Curtis Mattoon; original report from Daniel Watkins. - [Support] #1229: Add some missing API doc hyperlink references. Thanks to Tony Narlock.

- [Bug] #1180: Fix issue with unicode steam outputs crashing if stream encoding
type is None. Thanks to
@joekiller
for catch & patch. - [Bug] #1228: Update the
CommandTimeout
class so it has a usefulstr
instead of appearing blank when caught by Fabric’s top level exception handling. Catch & patch from Tomaz Muraus. - [Support] #1213: Add useful exception message to the implicit
SystemExit
raised by Fabric’s use ofsys.exit
inside theabort
function. This allows client code catchingSystemExit
to have better introspection into the error. Thanks to Ioannis Panousis. - [Bug] #1019: (also #1022, #1186) Fix “is a tty” tests in
environments where streams (eg
sys.stdout
) have been replaced with objects lacking a.isatty()
method. Thanks to Miki Tebeka for the original report, Lele Long for a subsequent patch, and Julien Phalip for the final/merged patch. - [Bug] #1201: Don’t naively glob all
get
targets - only glob actual directories. This avoids incorrectly yielding permission errors in edge cases where a requested file is within a directory lacking the read permission bit. Thanks to Sassa Nf for the original report.

kwarg.[Support] #626: Clarity updates to the tutorial. Thanks to GitHub user

False
. This enables running the same task multiple times on a single host, which was previously not possible.[Feature] #627: Added convenient

/sudo
which are aliases forsettings(hide('everything'), warn_only=True)

require
failed to test for “empty” values in the env keys it checks (e.g.require('a-key-whose-value-is-an-empty-list')
would register a successful result instead of alerting that the value was in fact empty. This has been fixed, thanks to Rich Schumacher.[Bug] #711:

call. Thanks to Miquel Torres for the catch & Rodrigue Alcazar for the patch.[Feature] #763: Add
--initial-password-prompt
to allow prefilling the password cache at the start of a run. Great for sudo-powered parallel runs.[Bug] #736: Ensure context managers that build env vars play nice with
contextlib.nested
by deferring env var reference to entry time, not call time. Thanks to Matthew Tretter for catch & patch.[Bug] #767: Fix (and add test for) regression re: having linewise output automatically activate when parallelism is in effect. Thanks to Alexander Fortin and Dustin McQuay for the bug reports.

- [Support] #459: Update our
setup.py
files to note that PyCrypto released 2.4.1, which fixes the setuptools problems. - [Feature] #72: SSH agent forwarding support has made it into Fabric’s SSH
library, and hooks for using it have been added (disabled by default; use
-A
or env.forward_agent to enable.) Thanks to Ben Davis for porting an existing Paramiko patch tossh
and providing the necessary tweak to Fabric. - [Feature] #506: A new output alias,
commands
, has been added, which allows hiding remote stdout and local “running command X” output lines. - [Feature] #13: Env vars may now be set at runtime via the new
--set
command-line flag. - [Feature] #8: Added
--skip-bad-hosts
/env.skip_bad_hosts option to allow skipping past temporarily down/unreachable hosts. - [Support] #532: Reorganized and cleaned up the output of
fab --help
. - [Bug] #487: Overhauled the regular expression escaping performed in
append
andcontains
to try and handle more corner cases. Thanks to Neilen Marais for the patch. - [Feature] #474:
execute
now allows you to access the executed task’s return values, by itself returning a dictionary whose keys are the host strings executed against. - [Feature] #12: Added the ability to try connecting multiple times to
temporarily-down remote systems, instead of immediately failing. (Default
behavior is still to only try once.) See env.timeout and
env.connection_attempts for controlling both
connection timeouts and total number of attempts.
reboot
has also been overhauled (but practically deprecated – see its updated docs.) - [Feature] #3: Fabric can now load a subset of SSH config functionality
directly from your local
~/.ssh/config
if env.use_ssh_config is set toTrue
. See ssh-config for details. Thanks to Kirill Pinchuk for the initial patch. - [Feature] #138: env.port may now be written to at fabfile module level to set a default nonstandard port number. Previously this value was read-only.
- [Feature] #559:
rsync_project
now allows users to append extra SSH-specific arguments torsync
‘s--rsh
flag.

- [Support] #416: Updated documentation to reflect move from Redmine to Github.
- [Support] #393: Fixed a typo in an example code snippet in the task docs. Thanks to Hugo Garza for the catch.
- [Feature] #19: Tasks may now be optionally executed in parallel. Please see the parallel execution docs for details. Major thanks to Morgan Goose for the initial implementation.
- [Feature] #21: It is now possible, using the new
execute
API call, to execute task objects (by reference or by name) from within other tasks or in library mode.execute
honors the other tasks’hosts
/roles
decorators, and also supports passing in explicit host and/or role arguments. - [Support] #275: To support an edge use case of the features released in #19, and to lay the foundation for #275, we have forked Paramiko into the Python ‘ssh’ library and changed our dependency to it for Fabric 1.3 and higher. This may have implications for the more uncommon install use cases, and package maintainers, but we hope to iron out any issues as they come up.
