106 ReleaseNotes En
CloudStack-UI 1.0.6 is released on July, 25, 2017. The release adds new functions and fixes several bugs. It also includes deep refactoring of VM creation and display component. This release notes document covers main improvements delivered with the release.
Developers have spent more than a week refactoring the old code which was written without proper design on early project phase. Right now this component has been reimplemented from scratch.
A new component was created, which allows presenting a new interface for VM filtering and grouping in this release. In addition, this component will help to create a new way of VMs displaying - it will be possible to switch between views and a new form will be added - a table format similar to the one offered by the standard ACS interface.
Reorganized VM details tabs. Previously tabs were "keyword" labeled, in this release they were changed to icons. It helps to implement more tabs with compact and visually self-descriptive labels.
NIC and SG details and configuration are moved to a separate tab which will help to implement additional network operations for advanced CS zones.
Resource usage bar allows switching between "used" and "free" presentations to help users understanding capabilities in a better way.
The release introduces VM tags and Template tags tabs. Unlike the native ACS interface which doesn't use tags, CloudStack-UI uses tags very extensively to provide additional UX capabilities. In the future versions tags will interact with UI plugins to provide additional capabilities like clientless SSH access.
Since Angular Material 2 is mature now, includes better and more beautiful components we decided switching from MDL to Material2 which will be completed in several iterations.
