[Machinery] New release: Machinery 1.16.4

[Mauro Morales]

Fellow Machinists,

As a team we've been fixing some bugs and doing some changes in order to 
give you a better user experience. Worth noticing is that now you can 
pass an html option to the list command `machinery list --html` which 
will display all your system descriptions in a nice HTML view. We've 
also changed the way how Machinery will run and now allow any system by 
default as long as the right dependencies are in place. The final 
relevant change to mention is that now machinery won't filter the 
"/boot" directory by default but you are able to have the previous 
functionality by just running `machinery inspect --skip-files=/boot`

Get the new release from the Machinery home page [1] via one-click 
install or for example by running `zypper up machinery`, if you already 
have a previous version installed.

The changes in 1.16.4 pave the way for a really cool new feature we are 
currently implementing for our next release but I won't be giving away 
any spoilers on this email.

In the meantime here is the complete list of changes since you last 
heard from us. Our best wishes for 2016 and and don't forget that your 
feedback is always welcome.

## Version 1.16.4 - Thu Jan 14 18:35:47 CET 2016 - thardeck at suse.de

anymore.

   `machinery inspect --skip-files=/boot`

## Version 1.16.3 - Thu Jan 07 17:57:27 CET 2016 - thardeck at suse.de

option

command that it
   makes all descriptions publicly available

restrictive
   permissions (gh#SUSE/machinery#1609)

   (gh#SUSE/machinery#1648)
