8.0.9 (31 January 2024)

Announcements

Curator is improving command-line options using new defaults and helpers from
from the es_client module. This will make things appear a bit cleaner at
the command-line as well as normalize command-line structure between projects
using es_client. No more reimplementing the same code in 5 different
projects!

Changes

• Fix Docker logging per #1694. It should detect whether that path exists and
  that the process has write permissions before blindly attempting to use it.
• If --config is not specified Curator will now assume you either mean to
  use CLI options exclusively or look for a config in the default location.
  Curator will not halt on the absence of --config any more, per #1698
• Increment Dockerfile settings to python:3.11.7-alpine3.18
• Some command-line options are hidden by default now but remain usable. The
  help output explains how to see the full list, if needed.
• Dependency bumps
  • As es_client covers all of the same upstream dependencies that were
    necessary in previous releases, all local dependencies have been erased
    in favor of that one. For this release, that is es_client==8.12.3
