Highlights

• New CLI command syntax, run adles --help for details or checkout the Usage section in the README
• Consolidated the vSphere helper scripts (e.g. vm-power) into a single command, vsphere . For usage, run vsphere --help.
• ADLES now requires Python 3.6+. It is included or easily installable on any modern Linux distribution, Windows, and OSX.

Added

• The CLI can now be invoked a Python module (e.g. python -m adles, python -m adles.vsphere)
• Added two new specification fields to all spec types: spec-type and spec-version
• New argument: --syslog. Configures saving of log output to the specified Syslog server.
• Added progress bars to the cloning, power, and snapshot vSphere helper commands
• Support the NO_COLOR environment variable (per no-color.org)
• New dependencies: tqdm and humanfriendly
• Debian package (See the GitHub releases page)

Changed

• Failing to import an optional dependency will now log an error instead of raising an exception and terminating execution.
• Logs will not longer emit to a syslog server by default. Syslog server will now only be used if the parameter is set.
• Behind the scenes changes to commandline argument parsing that will make adding future functionality easier and enable usage of other third-party libraries that use argparse.
• Lots of code cleanup and formatting
• Bumped dependency versions
• Various other minor changes, see the Git pull request diff for all the changes

Removed

• Dropped support for Python < 3.6
• Removed Libvirt and HyperV interfaces
• Removed dependency: netaddr

Dev

• Added Tox for test running and linting
• Added .editorconfig
• Added .gitattributes
• Reorganized some documentation
• Removed CodeClimate
• Moved the remaining examples in the project root into examples/
• Added unit tests to Travis CI

First release to try using the build scripts. Definitely buggy.
