After years of extensive dwarven research, scientists have concluded that no, pig iron is not related to pigs in any way, and is therefore impossible to craft into ☼steel bacon☼.
It’s still not orgs and whatnot, but after a long simmering process goiardi 0.11.0 - Steel Bacon is now available. The fixes in this release were important enough to release before 1.0.0 is ready.
From the CHANGELOG:
* Ability to upload cookbooks to S3.
* Add script to upload local files to S3 to migrate.
* Change how items are indexed with the postgres indexer, to reduce the number of rows in the search_items table substantially (at the cost of possible differences in search results in a few weird corner cases).
* Search parser no longer chokes on Unicode. Unfortunately Postgres' ltree module does not accept all Unicode alphanumeric characters as valid still.
* Use vendoring.
* Rejigger the package building process a bit - changing how the different packages are built and how version numbers are determined.
* Fix a long-standing annoyance where the log file would get truncated when goiardi started or restarted.
* Allow passing environment variables to goiardi through the config file.
* Fix in-memory indexer to work with go 1.7.
* Add packages for CentOS 6 and 7. Also use a gox fork pulling in someone's PR with better ARM support until that gets merged upstream eventually.
* Change the postgres columns using the 'json' data type to use 'jsonb' instead. This is generally better, but does mean that goiardi now requires PostgreSQL 9.4 or later.
Packages are available at https://packagecloud.io/ct/goiardi, and individual binaries for a variety of architectures can be found on the release page.
The most important parts of this release are being able to upload files to AWS S3 (or compatible services), which you can read more about in the s3 docs, and the improvements with the Postgres search. These search changes reduce the number of rows in the search table by roughly half, at the expense of slightly more complex SQL queries behind the scenes. Upgrades to 0.11.0 from earlier versions of goiardi using the Postgres search will need to reindex the search tables by running knife index rebuild -y.
In any circumstance, earlier versions of goiardi using a version of Postgres older than 9.4 will need to upgrade postgres before updating goiardi and applying the sqitch patches.
This release also brings goiardi binaries for Linux on s390x (a.k.a z/Arch) (because go 1.7 will compile binaries for s390x now). Said binaries appear to work, so the next minor version of goiardi will include Debian and RHEL based packages for that architecture. This way, goiardi will obviously be Ready For The Enterprise™. Binaries for VMS will have to wait until such time as goiardi builds again with gccgo, sadly.
