CTM version 0.3.0 has new major feature and one fix:

FEATURE: The CTM has better support of access control list - ACLs checking. The CTM now supports the following ACL types:

• access-list
• ip access-list
• ipv6 access-list
• mac access-list

Main difference between common section files and ACL files is the way of checking. From CTM version 0.3.0 the template ACL and cisco ACL is compared with diff command which will ensure the right squence of every ACL line. The
older stable versions 0.2.x were comparing only if the template line is located in "global.template" not the right sequence of the line which is imporant in the ACL definition. (update of template files needed).

FIXED: temporary file in /tmp directory

NOTE: See UPGRADE when upgrading from 0.2.x to 0.3.0 release

After an upgrade of the CTM web page backend all links were broken. Sorry for the problems, now it is fixed.

CTM version 0.2.2 has new features and fixes some small bugs:

• FIXED: description checking. Now the pre-defined description format in the ".def" file is automaticaly checked with starting ^ and $ at the end.
• FIXED: number of interface(s) counter
• FEATURE: typo in description is now counted as an error on the interface
• FEATURE: added support for parsing new sections:
  • ipv6 router
  • class-map
  • policy-map

• FEATURE: you can select which interface will CTM check for SERVICE_ID tag. List of new directives in configuration file:
  • CHECK_IFACE_ETHERNET      (default enabled)
  • CHECK_IFACE_SERIAL      (default enabled)
  • CHECK_IFACE_VLAN      (default enabled)
  • CHECK_IFACE_PORT_CHANNEL  (default enabled)
  • CHECK_IFACE_LOOPBACK
  • CHECK_IFACE_TUNNEL
  • CHECK_IFACE_VIRT_TEMPLATE

• NOTE: See UPGRADE for upgrading from 0.2.1 to 0.2.2 release
  

This release has better performance up to 25%, small fixes in documentation, reporting and debug mode. No new features has been added.  See CHANGELOG for mode details.

Cisco Template Manager is now released as stable version 0.2.0 with the following changes:

• added a new option to configuration file AVAILABLE_TEMPLATES=1
• added an option "parseonly" to ctm-conf-checker.sh
• small typo fixes in scripts

New configuration option 'AVAILABLE_TEMPLATES' file will print list of all available templates and roles when executing all CTM script. Now you have a nice overview over your templates and roles.

New ctm-conf-checker.sh optional parameter  "parseonly" will help you with defining new templates from existing Cisco configuration file. Cisco's config is parsed to separated files and stored in your home directory. This will help you when creating new global, section or service_id templates.
