[clustervisor-announce] ClusterVisor 0.5.44-5 Released

[ClusterVisor Announcements]

This release includes a few additional features and improvements that can
improve the cluster management experience along with a variety of bug
patches and changes in erroneous behavior to prevent future problems from
occurring. This will most likely be the last update for 0.5.44, as well as
the last release for 0.x, since the upcoming release will be for 1.0.0.
More details on that release will be provided as we get further in the
development process and closer to when we are prepared to publish it.

-- Changelog --

New Features:
- Added `cv-nodeinfo` to get the CPU, memory, and serial number info about
a selected node.
- Added the `--networking` flag to `cv-exec` to issue the command over a
specific network (which is helpful in cases where Ethernet is down but
InfiniBand is up).
- Added the `--dump-groups` flag to `cv-nodenames` to get a list of all
valid groups in ClusterVisor that can be queried against.
- New options for networking plugin to have ClusterVisor only modify ifcfg
files for interfaces it manages and/or explicitly picking interfaces to
ignore.
- Root password for cloner initrd can now be stored in config.cloner to
persist when `cv-cloner make-installer --override` is run without
--rootpasswd.

New Behavior:
- Section names are now case-insensitive, all names will be forced to
lowercase to avoid potential confusion and name collisions.
- Periods are no longer allowed in section names to prevent buggy behavior
in the back-end, they can still be renamed and deleted if any still exist.
- Usage of ${_index} for non-indexed nodes will now throw errors instead of
silently causing failures in the background.
- Output from LDAP triggers will now be logged in ClusterVisor's logging
directory (by default this is /var/log/clustervisor).
- Logging for cv-clientd before it communicates with the server will log to
/var/log/clustervisor/cv-client.pre.log instead of flooding systemd.
- Running cv-reconfigure will now wait until caching on the server is
finished before running to ensure the latest data is used.

Bug Fixes:
- Bug fixes for cv-db-image and cv-installer for handling legacy image
format (as well as clarifications made to help text).
- Expanded stats plugin tests to a larger coverage to mitigate bug
regressions.
- Fixed bug regression in IPMI stats plugin introduced in an earlier
release.
- Fixed bug regression in file sync plugin that caused background tasks to
not get occasionally locked and cease running until cv-serverd was
restarted.
- Patch to ldapauth plugin to prevent difficult to diagnose bugs if
permissions of sssd directories get changed.
- Fixed bug regression in `cv-installer --patch-389ds` to generate a server
certificate that will expire in 20 years instead of only 3 months.
- Fixed dependency issue throwing error messages for crypto library.
