+===== NetYCE 7.0.2 Build_20171010 =====
+===== Release notes =====
+Date: 2017-10-10

+<WRAP widths 60% box safety>
+==== Enhancement ====
+</WRAP>
+=== Job parameter handling ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Added transparent handling of the job variables set in the [parameter] and [scenario] sections of
+each command-job. The [parameter] variables are defined at job-submission while the scenario variables
+are assigned at run-time resulting in confusing results and scenario command syntaxes.
+By extending parameter substitution to a two-pass operation, the parameter handling has been made
+mostly transparent.
+</WRAP>
+=== OS Upgrade Frontend ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Some Vendors do not support OS Upgrades yet, yet the frontend made it seem like they did.
+The frontend now shows it clearly when a Node's vendor type isn't supported yet.
+</WRAP>
+=== Port Missing Template Message ===
+<WRAP indent>
+In the switchportconfig form, whenever a port lacks a template, a popup now appears to warn the user.
+</WRAP>
+=== GNS3/IOU telnet support ===
+<WRAP indent>
+The simulated Cisco devices under GNS3 generated login prompts with additional characters
+preventing login using Telnet. Adding a special case to detect these unclean prompts and evoking
+a new prompt resolved this issue.
+</WRAP>
+=== Cramer Deltas ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Part 1 of cramer deltas, comparing cramer output to netyce data.
+A check for deleted nodes in Cramer has also been added.
+</WRAP>
+=== Tweak 'Allow_topo_multipoint' ===
+<WRAP indent>
+The front-end and the Service-types do not allow a device port to have multiple topology connections
+sice they are point-to-point by nature.
+However, for migration purposes a feature to selectively allow multiple links per port is desirable.
+For this purpose the Lookup tweak 'Allow_topo_multipoint' is added that can allow or deny this
+behaviour per Client-type. The default denies it for all Client-types conform existing policies.
+A tweak record with this name can be added for each Client-type, overruling this setting using
+the Num value.
+</WRAP>

+==== Change ====
+</WRAP>
+=== Tasker logging ===
+<WRAP indent>
+The tasker logs for an assignment always consisted out of two or three lines. This is now condensed into one line.
+</WRAP>
+=== User groups client level dropdown ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Moved the client level dropdown in the user groups form to a better place.
+</WRAP>
+=== Template remark field ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Changed Scenario, Stored Job, Template and Template Revision Description size from 50 to 200 characters.
+</WRAP>
+=== Scenario conversion ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Version 7.0 uses different command names and options in its scenarios. Existing scenarios are
+converted automatically although the old name and options are still supported.
+</WRAP>
+=== Service Class Sort ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Service classes in site types are now sorted by Hid
+</WRAP>
+=== Task-logs form ===
+<WRAP indent>
+The Task-id's can exceed 9999 jobs per day. An when they do, the form sorted them alphabetically
+so that newer jobs appeared hundreds of pages lower than expected. The form also did not have an
+option to filter or search by Task_id.
+The sort order has been revised to deal with these large Task-ids and a search facility has been added.
+The Timestamp column has been widened to show the full date and time.
+</WRAP>

+<WRAP widths 60% box safety>
+==== Fix ====
+</WRAP>
+=== Net::IP Warning ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Fixes the issue where any file that includes Common gave a list of warnings from the Net::IP module.
+Overloaded the library Net::IP file with our own modified version.
+</WRAP>
+=== Service-type Custom subnet attribute ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Assigning a custom subnets network address and/or network prefix failed when using
+the service-type: ASSIGN-SUBNET-attribute. This has been corrected.
+The net_address value supplied can now also include the prefix (address/prefix).
+</WRAP>
+=== Site relation update ===
+<WRAP indent>
+The 'Site' relation would show all sites corresponding to the SiteCode, regardless of ClientCode.
+This has been corrected by updating the 'Site' relation.
+</WRAP>
+=== Vendor Module fix ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Fixed a patch with a typo in its sql statement, failing to create state actions for Avaya VSP
+Added v7 functions to the Huawei module
+</WRAP>
+=== Ports not displayed ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Ports with an invalid port-template were not displayed. This is now fixed along with a popup
+to inform the user which ports must have their port-templates revised
+</WRAP>
+=== Service Class Permissions ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Fixed bug where you cannot create, edit and delete service classes.
+</WRAP>
+=== HP_C5 OS Upgrades ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Added OS Upgrade Support for HP_C5. Warning: still experimental so may experience bugs. Please contact NetYCE when encountering one.
+Fixed squeeze issue in Cisco IOS
+</WRAP>
+=== API IPv4 or dual stack support ===
+<WRAP indent>
+The 'yce_xch' API daemon supported IPv6 in a dual-stack environment. However, when only IPv4 is
+available, the API failed to start. The ipv4-only or dual-stack support is now configured dynamically.
+</WRAP>
+=== HP_C7 OS Upgrades ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Added OS Upgrade Support for HP_C7. Warning: still experimental so may experience bugs. Please contact NetYCE when encountering one.
+</WRAP>
+=== Cisco_Nexus OS Upgrades ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Added OS Upgrade Support for Cisco_Nexus. Warning: still experimental so may experience bugs. Please contact NetYCE when encountering one.
+</WRAP>
+=== Cisco_XR OS Upgrades ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Added OS Upgrade Support for Cisco_XR. Warning: still experimental so may experience bugs. Please contact NetYCE when encountering one.
+</WRAP>
+=== Huawei OS Upgrades ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Added OS Upgrade Support for Huawei. Warning: still experimental so may experience bugs. Please contact NetYCE when encountering one.
+</WRAP>
+=== Domain Create Network ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Fixed the issue where clicking on the create button of the domain networks form redirects you to a totally different form.
+</WRAP>
+=== Forever 'Running' jobs ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Jobs hat were stopped or failed to finish properly were reported the be 'running' forever.
+Now, every five minutes the running jobs are examined and if dead are changed to the 'aborted' state.
+</WRAP>
+=== Command parsing template bug ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Fixes an issue where command parsing templates are not selected properly
+</WRAP>
+=== IPv4 Plan Delete bug ===
+<WRAP indent>
+IPv4 Plans can now be deleted again.
+</WRAP>
+=== Multiple command-jobs ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Command-jobs issued for various nodes at the same time were using the same nodename for <node>.
+This issue was introduced after making the variable substitution in jobs more intuitive and transparent.
+</WRAP>
+=== Client Type Variable Client Level ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Support was built in for adding client types with variable client levels to user groups, in the
+user groups form previously. Now the same support is implemented in the client types form.
+</WRAP>
+=== Cisco-IOS ssh support ===
+<WRAP indent>
+A bug was introduced forcing Telnet as the communication protocol on all the Cisco-IOS devices.
+This was corrected so that ssh is the preferred and telnet the backup protocol.
+</WRAP>
+=== Tasker Fix ===
+<WRAP indent>
+A bug was encountered when processing the data from config parsing due to treating an array
+reference as a hash reference. This is now fixed.
+</WRAP>
+=== NCCM logging failure messages ===
+<WRAP indent>
+The NCCM logging will show "Failed to open job log: Permission denied" messages. Normally
+each job will log into their own jobID-based log-files, but for NCCM the level of logging is reduced
+and centralized. The error message was caused by trying to create a detailed log to an unavailable
+job path. Setting the proper conditional resolved this issue.
+</WRAP>
+=== NCCM logging ===
+<WRAP indent>
+The NCCM log file (yce_nccmd.log) was found to be growing very quickly in a busy environment.
+By making much of the detailed logging dependent on the general NetYCE debugging flag
+(~/etc/yce_debug), the default logging is now reduced to the daemon, the pollers and the polling
+result statuses.
+</WRAP>
+=== Regions bug ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Fixed a bug that prevented editing region names.
+</WRAP>
+=== Subnet plan bug ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Fixes the bug that prevented you from editing IP subnet plans
+</WRAP>
+=== Command parse fix ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Fixed a command parsing bug where complex command results weren't parsed properly.
+</WRAP>
+=== Slow NCCM Config-diffs form ===
+<WRAP indent>
+The default filter of the 'Operate - NCCM - Config diffs' tool is blank. To limit the time
+waiting for a report that probably would need a filter, only the top 200 nodes in the NCCM
+repository were shown.
+However, in larger environments, this time was still considerable. The report fortunately allowed
+for some optimizations so that the initial report will require minimal time.
+</WRAP>
+=== HP_C7 trying to run dir command in privileged mode ===
+<WRAP indent>
+HP_C7 doesnt allow the 'dir' command to be executed in privileged mode, this fix makes sure
+this cannot happen anymore, ensuring usable output from the 'dir' command.
+</WRAP>
+=== Nccm debug logging ===
+<WRAP indent>
+The yce_nccm_debug.log file was receiving very large amounts of log data regardless of
+the debug or development flags. This behaviour is now keyed to the yce_development flag
+file.
+</WRAP>
+=== Relaunching disabled or 'ignored' daemons ===
+<WRAP indent>
+The yce_setup.pl completed by relaunching the various daemons. It did so regardless of disabled
+status or the ignore-flag being set. The 'relaunch' script now takes these and other factors in
+consideration when relaunching a daemon or binging 'down' and 'up' all daemons.
+</WRAP>
+=== Infoblox ipam/dns report ===
+<WRAP indent>
+The Infobox reports for  DNS and IPAM now have support to define the network-view.
+And, to allow legacy requests without the network_view attribute, a default
+could be specified. The issue was however, that an obsolete variable was used as the
+default resulting in an empty report. An error message clarifying the missing view was absent.
+The correct defaults are used nowi and error messages issued.
+</WRAP>
+=== Region relation failed ===
+<WRAP indent>
+The 'Region' relation did not show the expected results. The Relation query was updated to include the
+custom attributes, but incomplete. The resulting values did often belong to a different region.
+The relation query was updated to fix this issue.
+</WRAP>
+=== Node rename check ===
+<WRAP indent>
+When renaming a node with the Tweak 'Change_hostname' enabled, no checks were performed to verify
+the new hostname was not in use. The rename would so result in database objects to become unrelated.
+Renaming a node to an existing name will now result in a popup indicating the name clash.
+</WRAP>
