5.8.1 (25 September 2019)

Bug Fixes

• LD_LIBRARY_PATH will now be set in /usr/bin/curator and the
  associated scripts rather than set in /etc/ld.so.conf.d

Other

• Unsaved logging change in utils.py that got missed is merged.

5.8.0 (24 September 2019)

Some big changes here, with more coming soon.

New

• Require elasticsearch-py version 7.0.4
• Official support for Python 3.7 — In fact, the pre-built packages are built
  using Python 3.7 now.
• Packages bundle OpenSSL 1.1.1c, removing the need for system OpenSSL
• Certifi 2019.9.11 certificates included.
• New client configuration option: api_key - used in the X-Api-key header in
  requests to Elasticsearch when set, which may be required if ReadonlyREST
  plugin is configured to require api-key. Requested in #1409 (vetler)
• Add skip_flush option to the close action. This should be useful
  when trying to close indices with unassigned shards (e.g. before restore).
  Raised in #1412. (psypuff)
• Use RequestsHttpConnection class, which permits the use of
  HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables. Raised in #510
  and addressed by #1259 (raynigon) in August of 2018. Subsequent changes,
  however, required some adaptation, and re-submission as a different PR.
  (untergeek)
• ignore_existing option added to CreateIndex. Will not raise an
  error if the index to be created already exists. Raised by (breml) in
  #1352. (untergeek)
• Add support for freeze and unfreeze indexes using curator. Requires
  Elasticsearch version 6.6 or greater with xpack enabled. Requested in issue
  #1399 and rasied in PR #1454. (junmuz)
• Allow the close action to ignore synced flush failures with the new
  ignore_sync_failures option. Raised in #1248. (untergeek)

Bug Fixes

• Fix kibana filter to match any and all indices starting with .kibana.
  This addresses #1363, and everyone else upgrading to Elasticsearch 7.x.
  Update documentation accordingly. (untergeek)
• Fix reindex post-action checks. When the filters do not return documents
  to be reindexed, the post-action check to ensure the target index exists
  is not needed. This new version will skip that validation if no documents
  are processed (issue #1170). (afharo)
• Prevent the empty filtertype from incorrectly matching against closed
  indices #1430 (heyitsmdr)
• Fix index_size function to be able to report either for either the
  total of all shards (default) or just primaries. Added as a keyword
  arg to preserve existing behavior. This was needed to fix sizing
  calculations for the Shrink action, which should only count primaries.
  Raised in #1429 (untergeek).
• Fix allow_ilm_indices to work with the rollover action. Reported in
  #1418 (untergeek)
• Update the client connection logic to be cleaner and log more verbosely in
  an attempt to address issues like #1418 and others like it more effectively
  as other failures have appeared to be client failures because the last
  log message were vague indications that a client connection was attempted.
  This is a step in the right direction, as it explicitly exits with a 1 exit
  code for different conditions now. (untergeek)
• Catch snapshots without a timestring in the name causing a logic error when
  using the count filter and use_age with source: name. Reported
  by (nerophon) in #1366. (untergeek)
• Ensure authentication (401), authorization (403), and other 400 errors are
  logged properly. Reported by (rfalke) in #1413. (untergeek)
• Fix crashes in restore of "large" number of indices reported by breml in
  #1360. (anandsinghkunwar)
• Do an empty list check before querying indices for field stats. Fixed by
  (CiXiHuo) in #1448.
• Fix "Correctly report task runtime in seconds" while reindexing. Reported
  by (jkelastic) in #1335

Documentation

• Grammar correction of ilm.asciidoc #1425 (SlavikCA)
• Updates to reflect changes to Elasticsearch 7 documentation #1426 and #1428
  (lcawl) and (jrodewig)

5.7.6 (6 May 2019)

Security Fix

Evidently, there were some upstream dependencies which required vulnerable
versions of urllib3 and requests. These have been addressed.

• CVE-2018-20060, CVE-2019-11324, CVE-2018-18074 are addressed by this
  update. Fixed in #1395 (cburgess)

Bug Fixes

• Allow aliases in Elasticsearch versions >= 6.5.0 to refer to more than one
  index, if is_write_index is present and one index has it set to True.
  Requested in #1342 (untergeek)

5.7.5 (26 April 2019)

This has to be a new record with 5 releases in 3 days, however, as a wonderful
aside, this release is the Curator Haiku release (if you don't know why, look
up the structure of a Haiku).

Bug Fix

• Persistent ILM filter error has finally been caught. Apparently, in Python,
  a list of lists [[]] will evaluate as existing, because it has one
  array element, even if that element is empty. So, this is my bad, but it is
  fixed now. (untergeek)

5.7.4 (25 April 2019)

Bug Fix

• ILM filter was reading from full index list, rather than the working list
  Reported in #1389 (untergeek)

5.7.3 (24 April 2019)

Bug Fix

• Still further package collisions with urllib3 between boto3 and
  requests. It was working, but with an unacceptable error, which is
  addressed in release 5.7.3. (untergeek)

5.7.2 (24 April 2019)

Bug Fix

• Fix urllib3 dependency collision on account of boto3 (untergeek)

5.7.0 (24 April 2019)

New

• Support for elasticsearch-py 7.0.0 (untergeek)
• Support for Elasticsearch 7.0 #1371 (untergeek)
• TravisCI testing for Elasticsearch 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, and 7.0 (untergeek)
• Allow shrink action to use multiple data paths #1350 (IzekChen)

Bug Fixes

• Fix regex pattern filter to use re.search #1355 (matthewdupre)
• Report rollover results in both dry-run and regular runs. Requested
  in #1313 (untergeek)
• Hide passwords in DEBUG logs. Requested in #1336 (untergeek)
• With ILM fully released, Curator tests now correctly use the
  allow_ilm_indices option. (untergeek)

Documentation

• Many thanks to those who submitted documentation fixes, both factual as
  well as typos!

5.6.0 (13 Nov 2018)

Please note that my development cycle has been renewed in earnest. Watch for more frequent updates and patches coming soon.

New

• The empty filter has been exposed for general use. This filter matches
  indices with no documents. (jrask) #1264

• Sort indices alphabetically before sorting by age.
  (tschroeder-zendesk) #1290
• Add shards filtertype (cushind) #1298

Bug Fixes

• Fix YAML linting so that YAML errors are caught and displayed on the
  command line. Reported in #1237 (untergeek)
• Pin click version for compatibility. (Andrewsville) #1280
• Allow much older epoch timestamps (rsteneteg) #1296
• Reindex action respects ignore_empty_list flag (untergeek) #1297
• Update ILM index version minimum to 6.6.0 (untergeek)
• Catch reindex failures properly. Reported in #1260 (untergeek)

Documentation

5.5.4 (23 May 2018)
