juju-core 1.19.1

A new development release of Juju, juju-core 1.19.1, is now available.


Getting Juju

juju-core 1.19.1 is available for trusty and backported to earlier
series in the following PPA:
    https://launchpad.net/~juju/+archive/devel

Upgrading from stable releases to development releases is not
supported. You can upgrade test environments to development releases
to test new features and fixes, but it is not advised to upgrade
production environments to 1.19.1.

If you are using a development release of juju-core, and find you need
to go back to a stable release, you can find it in the juju stable PPA:
    https://launchpad.net/~juju/+archive/stable

If you have multiple sources of juju-core, you can select the version
you want using apt:
    sudo apt-get install juju-core=1.18.1*

High Availability

The juju state-server (bootstrap node) can be placed into high
availability mode. Juju will automatically recover when one or more the
state-servers fail. You can use the 'ensure-availability' command to
create the additional state-servers:

    juju ensure-availability

The 'ensure-availability' command create's 3 state servers by default,
but you may use the '-n' option to specify a larger number. The number
of state servers must be odd. The command supports the '--series' and
'--constraints' options like the 'bootstrap' command. You can learn more
details by running 'juju ensure-availability --help'


Support Multiple NICs with the Same MAC

Juju now supports multiple physical and virtual network interfaces with
the same MAC address on the same machine. Juju takes care of this
automatically, there is nothing you need to do.

Caution, network settings are not upgraded from 1.19.0 to 1.19.1. If you
used juju 1.19.0 to deploy an environment with specified networks, you
must redeploy your environment instead of upgrading to 1.19.1.


Constraints Support instance-type

You can specify 'instance-type' with the '--constraints' option to
select a specific image defined by the cloud provider. The
'instance-type' constraint can be used with Azure, EC2, HP Cloud, and
all OpenStack-based clouds. For example, when creating an EC2
environment, you can specify 'm1.small':

    juju bootstrap --constraints instance-type=m1.small

Constraints are validated by all providers to ensure values conflicts
and unsupported options are rejected. Previously, juju would reconcile
such problems and select an image, possibly one that didn't meet the
needs of the service.
