The main changes for this release are
"lxc publish" can now be forced to publish running containers (it will temporarily stop them)
"lxc image list" now shows images sorted by description
Complete review of the REST API and update to make it all match the specification.
GET /1.0 now shows the "public" field
GET /1.0/certificates now returns a valid list of endpoints
GET /1.0/containers/NAME for performance reasons no longer returns the detailed container runtime status ("status" key), a separate query to /1.0/containers/NAME/state is now needed
GET /1.0/containers/NAME/logs now returns a valid list of endpoints
POST /1.0/containers/NAME/snapshots now longer requires the "stateful" field to be set (defaults to false)
POST /1.0/images now lets you override "properties" and "filename" for all supported input types
GET /1.0/images/aliases/NAME now returns valid data (the "name" and "target" fields were swapped)
POST /1.0/images/aliases/NAME has been implemented
PUT /1.0/images/aliases/NAME has been implemented
GET /1.0/images/FINGERPRINT no longer shows an empty "target" field for aliases
GET /1.0/networks/NAME has been re-designed
GET /1.0/operations/UUID/wait?timeout=X now actually times out
POST /1.0/profiles/NAME has been implemented
All timestamps are now RFC3339 strings and consistently named (created_at, updated_at, expires_at, uploaded_at)
Syncronous replies no longer contain an empty "operation" field
Extra security now applies for cross-server communication:
Unless a certificate is passed along with the query, the following operations now require the remote certificate to be valid according to system CA:
Container creation from migration (copy, move & live migration)
Container creation from remote image
Image copy from other LXD server
Image import from https
The command client will automatically set the necessary "certificate" field for you for those requests
Starting with this release, Go 1.3 is no longer supported by LXD.
