This file is used to list changes made in each version of the tomcat cookbook.
- Use /bin/false as the shell for the service user
- Don't remove existing users from groups
- Wait 2 seconds before trying to restart the service again with systemd
- Install perl-Getopt-Long-Descriptive on suse systems using the sys-v provider
- Version is not a required attribute in tomcat_install since we have a default
- Lazily eval the install_path vs. helper method to reduce some code complexity in the custom resources
- Use improved Rakefile with better failing + supermarket task. Switch Travis to test via Rake as well
- Use the new built in formatter in inspec instead of the docs formatter
- Update the Kitchen config to test on updated platforms and to use the current chef release vs. stable so we pull in Chef 12.14 which fixes user/group issues on opensuse 13.X
- Clarify that we require Chef 12.1 not 12.0
- Fix bad platform setting in the Chefspecs
- Reduce noisy warnings during Chefspec runs
- Fix inspec tests to pass
- Fix specifying user/group on init based installs
- Fix upstart to properly reload the config when restarting
- Avoid exit status 4 errors when restarting on init based systems
- Support pulling the tomcat tarball from https based mirrors
- Allow specifying the tomcat user/group in the tomcat_install and tomcat_service resources instead of using the automatically generated values
- Fixed the sys-v init scripts to have a unique "provides" line, which was causing problems on Debian 7
- Fixed specifying the specific tomat_service resource in order to use non system default init systems (ex: sys-v on a systemd system)
- Fixed restart actions to properly pass restart instead of stop and then start
- The Tomcat services are now restarted when the ENV values are updated
- Use tomcat_service_sysvinit now works on fedora
- Passing the SHUTDOWN_WAIT ENV value now works correctly
- Allow excluding ENV values from logs by setting
sensitiveproperty on the tomcat_service resource
- Fix restarts on init systems
- Allow setting SHUTDOWN_WAIT time in the ENV file
- Add Chef 12 requirement to the metadata
- Add a new
tarball_uriproperty to the install resource to allow specifying an absolute URI for the download tar.gz file. - Add new resource name aliases to the individual service resources. This allows calling tomcat_service_systemd, tomcat_service_upstart, or tomcat_service_sysvinit to force the init type you desire
- Update the default Tomcat version to install to 8.0.36
- Increase the compat_resource cookbook dependency from 12.9 to 12.10 to resolve odd failures in 12.9
- Added additional suse platforms to the metadata
- Removed Chef 11 compatibility code from the metadata file
- Update test deps to the latest
- Switched to cookstyle for simplified Ruby linting
- Fix regression in the service resource on suse
- Restore Amazon Linux compatibility
- Create the tomcat user as a system user
- Use platform_family instead of platform when defining the resources so we can easily support opensuse leap.
- Added proper systemd support for opensuse 13+
- Fixed all systemd platforms to use /etc/systemd vs. /lib/systemd for storing unit files
- Create the init files on the enable action so that you can enable, but not start the service
- Fixed the install resource to properly remove the ROOT app that ships in the tarball when exclude_examples property is set
- Add IBM zLinux as a supported platform in the metadata
- Fixed a copy / paste mistake in the chefspec matchers
- Fix Tomcat 7 installations on systemd not starting by changing the catalina.sh action from start to run
- Fix bug where Tomcat 7 and Tomcat 8 instances could not be installed on the same host
- Switch from sha1 to md5 checksums as older Tomcat releases didn't include SHA1 checksums
- rename sha1_base_path property to checksum_base_path since we're using MD5s now. The existing property name will continue to work for backwards compatibility
- Add start/stop runlevel header to the init script
- Reload the systemd unit file if it changes
- Don't give the tomcat user a valid shell
- Avoid namespace conflicts with other cookbooks that were causing failures. Thanks @alappe and @EdSingleton for providing the information to track this down.
- Fix a typo that prevented passing environmental directives with systemd. - @nickptrvc
- Depend on the latest compat_resource to avoid warnings
- Fix HTTP download of the Tomcat artifact to use a proxy server if ENV variables are defined @petracvv
- Fix a custom resource property typo in the readme @fallwith
COMPATIBILIY WARNING!!!! This version removes the existing recipes, attributes, and instance provider in favor of the new tomcat_install and tomcat_service resources. Why not just leave them in place? Well unfortunately they were utterly broken for anything other than the most trivial usage. Rather than continue the user pain we've opted to remove them and point users to a more modern installation method. If you need the legacy installation methods simply pin to the 1.3.0 release.
- Add usage documentation for the new resources
- Add chefspec matchers for the new resources
- Add kitchen-inspec to the Gemfile for testing
- Resolve missing directory warnings on Debian based systems that use systemd (Debian 8+ and Ubuntu 15.10+)
- Add testing and support for openSUSE 13.X
- Expand the platforms tested in the kitchen.yml file
- Remove the zypper_refresh cookbook. The zypper cookbook on the supermarket should be used instead
- Resolved foodcritic warnings in the instance provider
- Added restart and enable actions to tomcat_service resource
- Fixed init scripts trying to use /var/log/tomcat_INSTANCE dir that is no longer created
- If a custom path is provided the trailing / will be stripped to prevent // in scripts
- Start action in tomcat_service now starts the service instead of starting / enabling the service
- Stop and disable actions no longer create the init script first. Instead they only perform their actions if the init script exists
- Added systemd and upstart support to tomcat_service custom resource
- tomcat_install no longer creates a logs dir in /var/logs/ as logging is up to the users
- custom paths no longer throw an error in tomcat_install

- debian 8 is now properly identified as a systemd based system
- inspec tests for the test cookbook updated to pass
- nil default properties have been removed to resolve Chef deprecation warnings

- Depend on java cookbook >= 1.36 to allow for OpenJDK 1.8 installs along with many bugfixes
- Test Kitchen now tests the new providers in Travis CI using kitchen-dokken (docker)
- Existing test suites have been removed as that functionality will be deprecated in the near future
