Version 1.4.0

[indy-independence]

Version 1.4.0

New features:

• Allow ZTP init of access switches with non-redundant uplinks to other access switch via non_redundant option
• Each device can belong to a primary group, and settings can be defined (overridden) per primary group.
  Inheritence levels are now Global -> Fabric -> Core/Dist/Access -> Group -> Device specific
• Support interface range expressions like Ethernet[10-11] in settings device interface config
• Save last know working settings commit, so we can revert if last commit contains errors
  (only saved in memory, not persistent across reboots)
• Allow sync of devices with multiple links between same peers.
• Allow updating of neighbor_id on interface (useful if manually changing uplink connections)
• device_id variable is accessible at template rendering, host and hostname variables documented
• New settings: organization_name, domain_name, underlay->bgp_asn
• New jinja filters: different base-encodings, hashes, netutils for IP, MAC, ASNs etc
• New global config settings:

• global_unique_vlans: If True VLAN IDs has to be globally unique, if False
  different DIST switches can reuse same VLAN IDs for different L2 domains.
  Defaults to True.
• init_mgmt_timeout: Timeout to wait for device to apply changed management IP.
  Defaults to 30, specified in seconds (integer).

• Initial work on API to set/update and get stack members. Not working for ZTP init yet.
• Linknet API updated to allow PUT/update, allow GET of single linknet, DELETE syntax harmonized with rest of API

Bug fixes:

• Recalculate group memberships after ZTP init.
• Mark neighbors as unsynchronized after deleting a device.
• If device is not reachable on new IP after ZTP init, then change back to use old IP so we can
  attempt new ZTP init later.
• Restore previous config version apply bug fixed.
• Allow resetting entire interfaca data to null, instead of having to specify each value as null.
• During ZTP init, don't update and save linknets unless device can actually proceed with ZTP.
