An advanced Sync Preview is one of the features I'd love to highlight in v1.10.0. We have been able to leverage our Configuration Branch support as an underlying technology for this:
In case you have lots of changes, you can browse all of them - formerly this hasn't been possible. Also, this now allows you to inspect every single upcoming change before applying the Sync:
This has been possible based on the code we implemented to support the Director Branches module. In case you never heard about it, here you can find the related announcement.
This release also contains a lot of related fixes and new Features. It is now possible to deal with Service Sets in Configuration Branches, the commit remark can be proposed with a merge request, and the Activity Log shows not only who has merged the change, but also the original author.
Powerful new features have been implemented for those who love to orchestrate the Director from the outside. Please check our
CLI and REST API documentation for related details, especially look for --with-services (withServices)
and --allow-overrides (allowOverrides).
CLI now supports JSON on STDIN, REST API can request detailed stack traces in case an error occurs.
