[David Cheney]

juju-core 1.9.6
---------------

A new experimental release of Juju, juju-core 1.9.6, is now available 
for testing. This is an early release of the Go port of Juju and should 
be considered experimental.

Getting Juju
============

juju-core 1.9.6 is available from the Gophers PPA

https://code.launchpad.net/~gophers/+archive/go

New and Notable
===============

This release contains bug fixes, one minor, and one major user visible 
improvement; experimental support for subordinate charms is now ready 
for testing.

* The commands remove-unit and remove-relation are now discouraged in 
favour of destroy-unit and destroy-relation. The old commands now alias 
the new ones, which work just like the old ones did.
* Subordinate units are created and destroyed correctly with respect to 
addition and destruction of services and relations, and the destruction 
of their principal units.

Configuration changes
=====================

None

Known bugs and limitations
==========================

As this is an early release of Juju in Go there are a number of features 
which are still to be implemented. A non exhaustive list of known issues 
is as follows.

* EC2 is the only supported provider.
* Raring series environments are not supported.
* Most types of relations are supported, but they are not displayed in 
juju status. #1073966
* The juju-core package currently cannot be installed in parallel with 
juju 0.5/0.6 due to conflicting ownership of /usr/bin/juju (and others). 
This may be mitigated in the future with alternatives.
* destroy-service is not yet implemented. As a workaround you can remove 
all the units assigned to a service. This is issue #1027878.
* terminate-machine is not yet implemented. #1073976
* Constraints are not yet implemented. #1027873
