[Shinken-devel] Shinken 2.4 RC1 is out!

[Sebastien C. <s.c...@fr...>]

Hi there!

We are a bit late on schedule, the 2.4 should have been tagged today but 
as we did not made a prior notice for a RC we choose to only tag a RC.
We need some tests and feedback before pushing the real 2.4 because we 
still have nothing magic to run a feature-complete test :) (we are 
thinking a lot about how to start that).
You can install this tag with a simple pip install 
https://github.com/naparuba/shinken/archive/2.4-RC1.zip. Pip will do the 
job for you!
The release note are here : 
https://github.com/naparuba/shinken/blob/master/Changelog. It is mainly 
bug fixing and code stabilization.
However I would like to highlight to of them :
* Pep8 : Shinken is now pep8 compliant (only 3 rules a ignored), and 
Travis enforces pep8 for new code.
* Setup.py : if you are used to python virtualenv, you will be happy 
with this release. The setup script has been rewritten with pbr and 
allow to install Shinken in a virtualenv. You also have the possibility 
to install Shinken as a lib (python setup.py develop) so that you don't 
have sample config files provided.

We would like to tag the final 2.4 by the end of the week so that we 
don't drift too much from the schedule, but of course quality is more 
important that strict schedule. Next time we will tag this one or two 
week before the official release date.

Have fun trying Shinken 2.4!
