Weekly status #320

[monstermunchkin]

Weekly status for the week of 9th October to 15th October.

Introduction

An improvement was made to the lxc client when interacting with operations. If an event listener is not needed, the setup will now be skipped. Instead the /1.0/operations/<id>/wait endpoint will be called. This part of the ongoing work to accommodate the OpenFGA integration.

Apart from this change, a few bugs were fixed and the documentation was updated.

LXD highlights

Improvements

• Is it not always necessary to set up an event listener when interacting with operations via the client. For example, many client methods call queryOperation and then call Wait on the returned operation. Instead of setting up the event listener, the /1.0/operations/<id>wait endpoint will be called.
• Add missing lxc config trust subcommands to bash auto-complete.
• Add information about managing the snap.

Bug fixes

• Fixed a bug where used by would contain duplicate entries for storage pools.
• Resolved an issue where storage resources would contain the wrong serial number for disks.
