2.3.0

This release is aptly named—there are a few new features that I thought I wouldn't see in Drupal VM for a very long time (it's a Miracle they made it so soon), and there's a new collaborator, @oxyc, who has been like a Magician in his uncanny ability to knock out some complex issues in both Drupal VM and upstream roles. If you see @oxyc around, thank him for his incredible level of effort in getting this release out the door!

One of the most incredible new features is a Drupal VM dashboard—after you finish Drupal VM setup, visit the VM's IP address, and you should be greeted with a beautiful new welcome page with all the information you need to get started:

drupal-vm-new-dashboard

This release also has been thoroughly tested with Ansible 2.x, Vagrant 1.8.x, and various Mac, Windows, and Linux configurations. Shortly after Drupal VM 2.2.0 was released, Vagrant 1.8.x started having problems working with the then-new Ansible 2.0 release when using the ansible_local provisioner, so for the time being, Drupal VM has switched back to using JJG-Ansible-Windows as a more reliable substitute.

The third major change (thanks in very large part to @oxyc again) is the Dockerization of all Drupal VM testing—instead of just testing for syntax errors, we're now testing everything inside of Docker containers to make sure provisioning doesn't break. Test coverage has gone from about 5% to about 80% with this change. Better tests == better reliability! And we fixed about 8 upstream bugs to get the tests to pass, so double-win!

There is much, much more included in this release, including experimental Drupal VM-on-DigitalOcean support! See the lists below for all the details.

Note: If you haven't updated your configuration since before Drupal VM 2.2.0, be sure to read through the 2.2.0 Release Notes for some important information.
