Notable Changes

Juju may report the status of a service and machine that was terminated
outside of Juju. Juju did not notice that the machine is gone. This
release provides minor fixes to identify the case, and a feature to
explicitly tell juju that the machine is gone.

juju destroy-machine --force

The destroy-machine command will destroy the machine as needed, and
remove it from its list of available machines. Machines that are
responsible for the environment cannot be destroyed. Machines running
units or containers can only be destroyed with the --force flag; doing
so will also destroy all those units and containers without giving them
any opportunity to shut down cleanly.

Future version of Juju will notice when machines _disappear_ without the
need of “destroy-machine --force”.
