supervisor v3.0.b2 Release Notes

Release Date: 2013-05-28 // almost 11 years ago

    • The behavior of the program option user has changed. In all previous versions, if supervisord failed to switch to the user, a warning would be sent to the stderr log but the child process would still be spawned. This means that a mistake in the config file could result in a child process being unintentionally spawned as root. Now, supervisord will not spawn the child unless it was able to successfully switch to the user. Thanks to Igor Partola for reporting this issue.

    • If a user specified in the config file does not exist on the system, supervisord will now print an error and refuse to start.

    • ⏪ Reverted a change to logging introduced in 3.0b1 that was intended to allow multiple processes to log to the same file with the rotating log handler. The implementation caused supervisord to crash during reload and to leak file handles. Also, since log rotation options are given on a per-program basis, impossible configurations could be created (conflicting rotation options for the same file). Given this and that supervisord now has syslog support, it was decided to remove this feature. A warning was added to the documentation that two processes may not log to the same file.

    • 🛠 Fixed a bug where parsing command= could cause supervisord to crash if shlex.split() fails, such as a bad quoting. Patch by Scott Wilson.

    • It is now possible to use supervisorctl on a machine with no supervisord.conf file by supplying the connection information in command line options. Patch by Jens Rantil.

    • 🛠 Fixed a bug where supervisord would crash if the syslog handler was used and supervisord received SIGUSR2 (log reopen request).

    • 🛠 Fixed an XML-RPC bug where calling supervisor.getProcessInfo() with a bad name would cause a 500 Internal Server Error rather than the returning a BAD_NAME fault.

    • ➕ Added a favicon to the web interface. Patch by Caio Ariede.

    • 🛠 Fixed a test failure due to incorrect handling of daylight savings time in the childutils tests. Patch by Ildar Hizbulin.

    • 🛠 Fixed a number of pyflakes warnings for unused variables, imports, and dead code. Patch by Philippe Ombredanne.
