| --- |
| |
| ## Introduction |
| |
| We resolved [23 issues](http://code.google.com/p/jclouds/issues/list?can=1&q=label%3AMilestone-1.0-beta-8) |
| in our jclouds 1.0-beta-8 release. While mostly a bugfix release we have a few notable features to discuss. |
| |
| ## New Features |
| * Tested support for a [peer1-storage](http://www.peer1.com/hosting/cloudone-storage.php) |
| * jclouds can now persist credentials of started nodes across contexts, which allows you |
| to run scripts without ever knowing the login credentials of nodes. |
| * Integration tests are stronger including os version match tests and running web services on launched nodes |
| * Stabalized terremark ecloud support |
| |
| ## API Breaking Changes |
| * `EC2Hardware object` has been removed in favor of the base `Hardware` class. |
| * `ScriptBuilder.build` is now `ScriptBuilder.render` so that it can implement the `Statement` interface. |
| |
| ## Known Issues |
| * trmk-ecloud |
| * only the centos template work in ComputeService |
| * slicehost |
| * note that soft followed by hard reboot ends often throws a server error saying wait. |
| * bluelock-vcdirector/vcloud |
| * you have to copy vAppTemplates into your catalog from the public one before they can be used. |
| * ComputeService has no hooks for changing the hardware yet |
| * eucalyptus tests skipped due to no resources on the test cloud |
| * the following providers are unstable |
| * rimuhosting |
