Some of you might have enjoyed the Machinery talk given by our very own Thomas, or helped us by taking usability tests. Thanks to you all for that. With this in mind, we're happy to announce the release of Machinery 1.7.0 A very important and needed step towards the openSUSE community has been done by enabling the inspection of Tumbleweed systems. We're also having some goodies for the enterprise world: You can now inspect your RHEL5 machines. Some of you might have missed the ability of running machinery with a user other than root. This is now possible passing "-r USER" to the inspect command, have a look updated man page for all the details. For the adventurous among us, we also have another experimental feature: --html view now works also on machinery compare. As always, the experimental features are documented here: https://github.com/SUSE/machinery/wiki/Experimental-Features Enough said.

Message-ID: <1432223630.16697.29.camel@suse.com> Dearest Machineriest, This release email will be short and concise as most of the efforts in the latest sprint went into consolidating code, fixing bugs and several other bits and pieces not exactly fitting the usual release format. Given this, we'd like instead to take the chance of saying "Thank you!" to Bob for the reported issues and prompt feedback. We're still looking forward to hearing from you: What do you like about machinery? What would you change? What feature do you think we're missing? Get in touch and share your feedback with us!
