elastic/curator v6.0.0

6.0.0 (31 January 2023)

on GitHub

Announcement

At long last, the interminable wait is over. New Curator versions are being released. Yes, plural.
Curator versions 6, 7, and 8 are all coming out at once.

• This release is a simplified release for only pip and Docker. It only works
  with Elasticsearch 6.x and is functionally identical to 5.8.4

Breaking Changes

• Curator is now version locked. Curator v6.x will only work with Elasticsearch v6.x
• Going forward, Curator will only be released as a tarball via GitHub, as an sdist or
  wheel via pip on PyPI, and to Docker Hub. There will no longer be RPM, DEB, or Windows
  ZIP releases. I am sorry if this is inconvenient, but one of the reasons the development and
  release cycle was delayed so long is because of how painfully difficult it was to do releases.
• Curator will only work with Python 3.8+, and will more tightly follow the Python version releases.

New

• Python 3.11.1 is fully supported, and all versions of Python 3.8+ should be fully supported.
• Use hatch and hatchling for package building & publishing
• Because of hatch and pyproject.toml, the release version still only needs to be tracked
  in curator/_version.py.
• Maintain the barest setup.py for building a binary version of Curator for Docker using
  cx_Freeze.
• Remove setup.cfg, requirements.txt, MANIFEST.in, and other files as functionality
  is now handled by pyproject.toml and doing pip install . to grab dependencies and
  install them. YAY! Only one place to track dependencies now!!!
• Preliminarily updated the docs.
• Migrate towards pytest and away from nose tests.
• Scripts provided now that aid in producing and destroying Docker containers for testing. See
  docker_test/scripts/create.sh. To spin up a numbered version release of Elasticsearch, run
  docker_test/scripts/create.sh 6.8.23. It will download any necessary images, launch them,
  and tell you when it's ready, as well as provide REMOTE_ES_SERVER environment variables for
  testing the reindex action, e.g.
  REMOTE_ES_SERVER="172.16.0.1:9201" pytest --cov=curator. These tests are skipped
  if this value is not provided. To clean up afterwards, run docker_test/scripts/destroy.sh
• Add filter by size feature. #1612 (IndraGunawan)
• Update Elasticsearch client to 6.8.2

Security Fixes

• Use urllib3 1.26.5 or higher #1610 (tsaarni) — This dependency is now fully handled by the
  elasticsearch7 module and not a separate urllib3 import.
