As such disable salt building for python2 there. - More robust remote port detection - Sanitize grains loaded from roster_grains.json cache during 'state.pkg' - Do not make file.recurse state to fail when msgpack 0.5.4 (bsc#1167437) - Build: Buildequire pkgconfig(systemd) instead of systemd pkgconfig(systemd) is provided by systemd, so this is de-facto no change. But inside the Open Build Service (OBS), the same symbol is also provided by systemd-mini, which exists to shorten build-chains by only enabling what other packages need to successfully build - Add new custom SUSE capability for saltutil state module - Fixes status attribute issue in aptpkg test - Make setup.py script not to require setuptools greater than 9.1 - Loop: fix variable names for until_no_eval - Drop conflictive module.run state patch (bsc#1167437) - Update patches after rebase with upstream v3000 tag (bsc#1167437) - Fix some requirements issues depending on Python3 versions - Removes obsolete patch - Fix for low rpm_lowpkg unit test - Add python-singledispatch as dependency for python2-salt - Virt._get_domain: don't raise an exception if there is no VM - Fix for temp folder definition in loader unit test - Adds test for zypper abbreviation fix - Improved storage pool or network handling - Better import cache handline - Make 'salt.ext.tornado.gen' to use 'salt.ext.backports_abc' on Python 2 - Fix regression in service states with reload argument - Fix integration test failure for test_mod_del_repo_multiline_values - Fix for unless requisite when pip is not installed - Fix errors from unit tests due NO_MOCK and NO_MOCK_REASON deprecation - Fix tornado imports and missing _utils after rebasing patches - Removes unresolved merge conflict in yumpkg module - Use full option name instead of undocumented abbreviation for zypper - Requiring python3-distro only for openSUSE/SLE >= 15 and not for Python 2 builds - Avoid possible user escalation upgrading salt-master (bsc#1157465) (CVE-2019-18897) - Fix unit tests failures in test_batch_async tests - Batch Async: Handle exceptions, properly unregister and close instances after running async batching to avoid CPU starvation of the MWorkers (bsc#1162327) - RHEL/CentOS 8 uses platform-python instead of python3 - Loader: invalidate the import cachefor extra modules - Zypperpkg: filter patterns that start with dot (bsc#1171906) - Batch mode now also correctly provides return value (bsc#1168340) - Add docker.logout to docker execution module (bsc#1165572) - Improvements for chroot module - Add option to enable/disable force refresh for zypper - Prevent sporious 'salt-api' stuck processes when managing SSH minions because of logging deadlock (bsc#1159284) - Avoid segfault from 'salt-api' under certain conditions of heavy load managing SSH minions (bsc#1169604)
