Hello MAASters! The MAAS development summaries are back!

Over the past 3 weeks, the team has made good progress on three main areas. The development of 2.3, maintenance for 2.2, and out new and improved python library (libmaas).

### **MAAS 2.3 (current development release)**

The first official MAAS 2.3 release has been prepared. It is currently undergoing a heavy round of testing and will be announced separately once completed. Here is what the MAAS team have done over the last three weeks:

* **Completed Upstream Proxy UI**
  + Improve the UI to better configure the different proxy modes.
  + Added the ability to configure an upstream proxy.
* **Network beaconing & better network discovery**
  + - Rack registration has been refactored in order to allow deferred fabric creation and region/rack version reporting.
    - End-to-end testing of the two-phase approach to interface registration. Ensure the new approach is fully backwards compatible when there is a mix of MAAS versions in use.
    - Fix bugs related to initial fabric creation upon registration:
      * [Ensure that disabled interfaces do not create new fabrics](https://git.launchpad.net/maas/commit/?id=2365edd4eaae920c847740639d6b76970b1e52f0)
      * [Fix registration of disabled interfaces](https://git.launchpad.net/maas/commit/?id=51b429cb506c209a66dca5cbfbe5e6a6ccb918e7)
      * [Fix fabric creation for rack DHCP IP addresses](https://git.launchpad.net/maas/commit/?id=2319590c74764ff4c4f933506499ee961d5ac9eb)
* **Started Hardware Testing Phase 2**
  + - UX team has completed the initial wireframes and gathered feedback.
    - Started changes to collect and gather better test results.
* **Started Switch modeling**
  + - Started changes to support switch and switch port modeling.
* **Bug fixes**
  + LP: #1703403 – regiond workers can use too many postgres connections
  + LP: #1651165 – Unable to change disk name using maas gui
  + LP: #1702690 – [2.2] Commissioning a machine prefers minimum kernel over commissioning global
  + LP: #1700802 – [2.x] maas cli allocate interfaces=<label>:ip=<ADDRESS> errors with Unknown interfaces constraint Edit
  + LP: #1703713 – [2.3] Devices don’t have a link from the DNS page
  + LP: #1702976 – Cavium ThunderX lacks power settings after enlistment apparently due to missing kernel
  + LP: #1664822 – Enable IPMI over LAN if disabled
  + LP: #1703713 – Fix missing link on domain details page
  + LP: #1702669 – Add index on family(ip) for each StaticIPAddress to improve execution time of the maasserver\_routable\_pairs view.
  + LP: #1703845 – Set the re-check interval for rack to region RPC connections to the lowest value when a RPC connection is closed or lost.

### **MAAS 2.2 (current stable release)**

* Last week, MAAS 2.2 was SRU’d into the Ubuntu Archives and to our latest LTS release, Ubuntu Xenial, replacing the MAAS 2.1 series.
* This week, a new MAAS 2.2 point release has also been prepared. It is currently undergoing heavy testing. Once testing is completed, it will be released in a separate announcement.

### **Libmaas**

Last week, the team has worked on increasing the level

* Added ability to create machines.
* Added ability to commission machines.
* Added ability to manage MAAS networking definitions. Including Subnet, Fabrics, Spaces, vlans, IP Ranges, Static Routes and DHCP.
