The tee filter now uses the local client class to clone the queries. This
imposes some restrictions on how the filter can be used but also makes
MaxScale as a whole more robust.
The module command self links now point to an endpoint that executes the
module command. Depending on the type of the module command, either a GET
or a POST request must be made.
Moved distribution specific commands to a new quickstart section, added a
copy-and-paste section for the generic commands. This should make it easier
to do a generic installation of MaxScale on a supported system.
A set of the core MaxScale parameters can now be altered at runtime. This
set consists of the authentication timeouts and the admin interface
authentication. Other parameters either can't be modified due to internal
limitations or aren't sensible to modify at runtime.
The REST API now uses the same users as MaxAdmin network interface. This
allows them to be created with MaxAdmin.
The next step is to add user creation to the REST API.
This allows MaxScale to use the PATCH functionality that's only in the
newer versions of the library. It also removes some of the problems that
exist with older systems that don't support all of the options.
The parameter names for monitors and servers now use a set of constant
names. This removes some of the errors caused by spelling mistakes when
the same parameter name is repeated in multiple places.
The service, filter and listener parameters should also be converted to
constants. This allows for a consistent user experience.
The admin interface now supports Basic Access authentication. This is not
a secure method of authentication and it should not be used without
unencrypted connections.
Made the admin interface port, authentication, username and password
configurable.
All whitespace in object names is now converted to a compacted format with
whitespace replaced with hyphens. If a conversion takes place, a warning
is logged.
Converted some of the tests into C++ as they directly include .cc files.
