Changes

• pyats.utils.fileutils now allows case-insensitive server name lookups in the testbed server block.

• Topology YAML file now supports a new credentials block. This will be used in the near future for new credential (eg, username password) storage. Stay tuned for more updates

• Kleenex fix to allow proper merging of content from logical to actual testbed when multiple interfaces share a common link.

• Unicon is now a standard requirement for connections module

• Now defaults to ~/.pyats/archive and ~/.pyats/runinfo folder for standard log/archive output (unless Cisco internal cisco module is installed, where it reverts back to current behavior)

• Moved per-user pyATS configuration file location to ~/.pyats/pyats.conf

• Added support to specify default archive/directory location in pyATS configuration file

• Fixed a bug where AEtest does not return Errored when it crashes and burns hard outside of design intention

• Easypy now handles a corner condition where if a Task failed to generate meaningful results (or inconsistent results), it raises a flag in the report, and returns error code 1 in the command line

• removed dd usage from logging utils

• fixed a bug in AEReport where the current hostname had to be resolvable by DNS or by local hosts file. AEReport server now starts strictly on 127.0.0.1 serving localhost instead.

• Kleenex loader no longer raises an exception if no images are present but -invoke_clean has not been specified in pyats run job.
