Changes in this release ==================

# Device-types

## New device-types

New supported devices:

* morello

# Authentications

Allow to enable login with multiple social accounts at once. The login page will display the available options with logos.

# Environment

The dispatcher IP is now available in the test shell actions as `LAVA_DISPATCHER_IP`.

# Git authentication

LAVA can now clone from authenticated git repositories. The credentials should be present in the local environment variable, for example via the `secrets` dictionary. LAVA dispatcher now expands environment variables in git urls:

```yaml actions: - test: definitions: - repository: https://%24%7BUSER%7D:%24%7BTOKEN%7D@example.com/definitions.git from: git [...] secrets: USER: MY_USER TOKEN: MY_TOKEN ```

# lava-docker-worker

The LAVA team advice to replace `lava-worker` by `lava-docker-worker` as this daemon will automatically upgrade and downgrade the local lava-woker container to match the remote server version. For this release, the `lava-docker-worker` daemon stability as been improve a lot in this release. This is now used in production at Linaro.

# Overlays

The lava dispatcher is now able to run `img2simg` after applying the overlays. Users should add `spare: true`:

```yaml rootfs: url: "http://example.com/rootfs.ext4.xz" format: ext4 sparse: true overlays: modules: url: "http://example.com/modules.tar.xz" [...] ```

# Server performances

## logging interval

Starting from this release, the default logging interval is set to 5s. lava-run will now send the job logs every 5s, instead of every seconds. This should decrease the load on the LAVA server.

## Scheduler lock

Prior to this release, the lava-scheduler process was locking the worker table during the scheduling. On large instances, this would prevent the workers to update their status. Starting from this release, lava-scheduler is not locking the worker table anymore.

# XML-RPC API

## Device-types

The XML-RPC API is now returning the `health_denominator` and `health_frequency` when calling `scheduler.device_types.show`. This function will also return a boolean (`default_template`) indicating if this device-type is using a custom templare or the default one.

## Devices

The XML-RPC API allows to change the device-type of a specific device when calling `scheduler.devices.update`.

## workers

The XML-RPC API call `scheduler.workers.show` is now returning booleans (`default_config`, `default_env` and `default_env_dut`) to indicate if the worker is using a custom config (env or env-dut) file.
