Beowulf support was improved. The code was reorganized. Hook support and new
classes were added.


Changes: Now it's very easy to set up a FAI install server for i386 on a host running AMD-64 and vice-versa. Many bugs were closed, including many improvements in setup-storage. Automatic tests are now supported. There is support for apt keys using files named package_config/*.asc. Debian geo mirrors are used in the default configuration. The fai-guide is now written in AsciiDoc.


Changes: There are many changes in the templates and example scripts. This release has kernel 2.4.20 support, uses a stand alone script for defining classes, and more.


Changes: The default name for the FAI kernel-image package has changed to kernel-image-2.2.20_fai1_i386.deb, since the package fai-kernel >=1.4 contains install kernels which support both the BOOTP and DHCP protocol A wrong symlink for rcS_fai has been fixed. id_dsa* and id_rsa* files are copied in make-fai-nfsroot. use strict is enabled in the Perl scripts. "append ip=dhcp" has been added to pxelinux.cfg/default. There are minor changes in packages_config files. The setup_harddisks default filesystem type has changed from auto to ext2.


Changes: Beowulf support was improved. The code was reorganized. Hook support and new classes were added.


Changes: FAI_FLAGS can now be space or comma separated. They must be space-separated in bootptab. Use a comma to separate them as additional kernel parameters. bootp requests on multiple ethernet devices now show the device name. The all_hosts script no longer uses a hardcoded list of hosts. It now uses the netgroup allhosts.
