[Ben Howard]

** Description changed:

-   - reporting of SSH host keys for Ubuntu to the fabric
-   - fix extension handling bugs
+   - reporting of SSH host keys for Ubuntu to the fabric
+   - fix for extension timeout handling
+   - fultiple fixes for extension handler in status report and heartbeat
  
  Fix : Updating to v2.0.8 fixes these bugs.
  
  Test Case :
-  * First boot
-    - build new images from -proposed
-    - confirm that instance boots
-    - run against extension
-    - confirm that portal captures SSH host keys
-  * Capture (VM Snapshot)
-    - boot instance on Azure
-    - upgrade from -proposed
-    - shut instances down
-    - capture instance
-    - boot capture instance
-    - confirm that portal capture SSH host keys
-    - confirm instance has new identity
-    - check /var/log/{cloud-init,waagent}.log for errors

  Regression : regression potential is low, as these changes tighten up
  the code and fix a broken feature.

  We have tagged a new release for WALinuxAgent (2.0.7):
  https://github.com/Azure/WALinuxAgent/releases/tag/WALinuxAgent-2.0.7.
  Ubuntu's walinuxagent package is currently based on 2.0.5, so there are
  several fixes in 2.0.6 and 2.0.7 that are important to pick up.
  
  Specifically, there are a number of fixes for extension handling,
  provisioning and the new feature for adding a "readme" warning to the
  resource disk. For 12.04, here are the relevant fixes to look at.
