v2.0.4

What's Changed

Release v2.0.4 contains only fixes for error handling and error logging

• Two minor error handling fixes for issues that could be seen with Python 2.7 and Python 3.x, but are highly unlikely to occur.

Full Changelog: v2.0.1...v2.0.2

v2.0.0

First release of xenserver-status-report with initial support for Python3

To be safe, it is still intended to be used with Python2 as the main interpreter, not all converted code was complete unit tests for Python3 yet.

Note: This does not change the shebang from #!/usr/bin/env python to a pure Python3 shebang:

• It is not required as all the changes still support Python2 for XS8.2 CU2
• On newer systems where python is a symlink to python3, it will work with Python3.

Summary of Major changes:

• Support for Python 3.6 to 3.11 for new XenServer releases which use Python 3.6 and Python 3.10 or Python 3.10 (or 3.11)
• Support for Python 2.7 is maintained and unit-tested to have tested code ready for backporting to older XCP platforms.
  • These backports can re-use existing testing.
  • Work on backports can use the existing code base and can be aligned to the master.
  • Less divergence between backports of xen-bugtool and new code:
    • Backports are planned to use this feature included in v2.0.0: #51
• Unit-tested with code coverage of ~82% (1285 of 1566 lines) of using Python2.7 and Python3.10.13

Notable new features:

• Feature: Capturing of XenServer SNMP config files with secrets filtering: #56
