0.17.0

FEATURES

1. InventoryFun added new function - list_hosts_platforms - to produce a dictionary keyed by hosts' names with values of their platforms

BUGS

1. DictInvenotry fixed to properly handle empty inventory data or inventory that does not have hosts.

CHANGES

1. Removed Netbox connection plugin and Netbox tasks, functionality moved to salt-nornir netbox pillar and nr.netbox execution modules. The reason is, integration with Salt provided better scaling compared to calling out Netbox API from hosts tasks, where one API request sent per each host task runs on. FOr substantial number of hosts that might not be the best way of doing it. SaltStack execution modules and pillar modules however, can serve as an aggregation points, gathering or pushing data for several hosts using less number of API calls.
