Breaking changes:

• Switched from vagrant-cachier to vagrant-persistent-storage

  • This was necessary as vagrant-cachier is no longer maintained and has compatibility issues with Ubuntu 16.04.

  • You may want to remove the old vagrant-cachier cache at:

    %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\.vagrant.d\cache\bento\ubuntu-15.10
    

  • Note: the new caching approach may use more disk space as the cache isn't shared between clones of the development environment.

• Moved the file mirror to a separate virtual disk using the vagrant-persistent-storage plugin.

  • This was done due to limitations and reliability issues with VirtualBox shared folders.

  • If you're upgrading your development environment, after performing the upgrade, run the following command to copy your files from the old storage location:

    rsync --recursive --times --chmod=Du=rwx,Dgo=rx,Fu=rw,Fgo=r --verbose \
        /vagrant/home/* /home/vagrant
    

  • To access the file mirror from the host use SCP (e.g. WinSCP); the mirror is located at /var/persistent.

• Upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04
  • These are some significant package upgrades, particularly to Python, which has moved to Python 3; some of these changes may break apps you develop/install.
  • The only workaround is to stay on the 0.9 release, which isn't advised as Ubuntu 15.10 is out of support.

Enhancements:

• #120: Move file mirror to persistent storage
• #123: Upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04

Other changes:

• #118: Use alt-galaxy for role install
• #119: Switched from vagrant-cachier to vagrant-persistent-storage
• #122: Updated xdesktop role to 2.1.0

Alpha release, expect breaking changes before 1.0 release.
