Introduction
We resolved 23 issues
in our jclouds 1.0-beta-8 release. While mostly a bugfix release we have a few notable features to discuss.
New Features
- Tested support for a peer1-storage
- jclouds can now persist credentials of started nodes across contexts, which allows you
to run scripts without ever knowing the login credentials of nodes.
- Integration tests are stronger including os version match tests and running web services on launched nodes
- Stabalized terremark ecloud support
API Breaking Changes
EC2Hardware object
has been removed in favor of the base Hardware

ScriptBuilder.build
is now ScriptBuilder.render
so that it can implement the Statement
interface.
