Director

What's new?

This patch release addresses a small regression in v1.6.1. Service Sets assigned to single Hosts have been rendered with errors. This happened once we fixed blacklisting from Services in such Sets, shortly before the former release. With v1.6.2 this should now work as expected.

What's new?

This is a patch release, focused on bug fixes. It addresses many little issues related to the Configuration Basket (available since v1.6.0), brings back our loop detection and improves the Blacklisting feature. It is now possible to grant a read-only view for Services, allowing one to see where they originated. A new REST API endpoint has been introduced for those who want to deal with Service Apply Rules.

Looping Louie is Looping again!
