*Core*
* FIX: incorrect  uninstallkey if nested call WAPT.install inside
    surrounding setup.install. https://roundup.tranquil.it/wapt/issue605
  * better tolerance to encoding issues.
  * fix waptserver discovery with SRV dns record
  * add optional dnsdomain in wapt-get.ini.
  * add optional verify_cert option (default to False) for waptserver

    registry after package install
  * allow session_setup to return a value different than None or zero to
    indicate a RETRY at next session logon
  * optionally includes packages with status ERROR for
    Wapt.is_installed(), WaptDB.installed_search,
    WaptDB.installed_matching. CBB : installed_search included errors by
    default in previous behaviour.
*Waptconsole*
* optionally filter newest only package (latest version) in
    waptconsole private repository or when importing from external
  * optionally filter newer than local packages in waptconsole when
    importing from external
  * display size of packages in repository grids
  * reorganize settings dialog to focus on most important parameters

    install, remove or forget packages in waptconsole inventory (cbb,
    user interface should be improved)

*Waptservice*

    restricted access (so that next call succeeds)
  * use create_onetime_task windows scheduler instead of AT command to
    trigger a waptservice restart
  * better handling when computer often disconnect (sleep) or change
    from one network to another network
*Waptupgrade*
* authenticate systematically the waptagent.exe file with a sha256
    hash inside waptupgrade package or when using waptdeploy downloader
    (requires change in the GPO if gpo is used to deploy wapt automatically)
  * include waptagent.exe in waptupgrade package per default and trigger
    a full waptagent.exe install (through a windows scheduled task which
    uses waptdeploy) if upgrading from wapt < 1.3.0.
  * waptdeploy requires now --hash= option. --wait enable waptdeploy to
    wait for pending waptservice tasks to terminate before upgrading wapt.
*Wapt-get*

    install / remove as a non admin user.

    automate package uploading tasks
  * guess package rootdir based on path of control in addition to
    setup.py files for development wapt-get tasks like install, remove,
    build-upload etc..
  * Fix command line parameters handling in wapt-get.exe

RPM package for waptserver on centos
use huey task pool in waptserver instead of uwsgi for portability

*Global*
python upgraded to 2.7.10
many libraries upgraded (openssl, m2crypto, flask, psutils, etc...)
Upgrade from 1.2.3
*Linux server upgrade*
With a server on Linux :
ssh on waptserver
cd
wget http://wapt.tranquil.it/wapt/nightly/1.3.4-rc2/tis-waptrepo-1.3.4.deb
wget http://wapt.tranquil.it/wapt/nightly/1.3.4-rc2/tis-waptserver-1.3.4.deb
wget http://wapt.tranquil.it/wapt/nightly/1.3.4-rc2/tis-waptsetup-1.3.4.deb
dpkg -i tis-wapt*.deb
apt-get -f install
wapt-serverpostconf
-> default answer to all questions.
Windows server upgrade
Download http://wapt.tranquil.it/wapt/nightly/1.3.4-rc2/waptserversetup.exe
Install with admin rights.
Launch server postconfiguration (obviously, don't recreate a new new 
private key...)
Don't create waptagent from waptserverpostconf but use waptconsole 
option which provide waptagent and waptupgrade package. 
waptserverpostconf creates only the waptagent.
Wapt management host upgrade
on the wapt manage workstation (where the private key is defined)
download http://wapt/wapt/waptsetup-tis.exe from waptserver
install with default options
Build clients upgrade package
**launch c:\wapt\waptconsole
tools/Build waptagent
  -> build the waptagent.exe and xxx-waptupgrade.wapt package and uplaod 
them to wapt server.
include the built xxx-waptupgrade package in your base group package or 
as a dependency of all host packages
trigger upgrade on hosts
*GPO update*
**copy waptdeploy.exe to the gp
modify your waptdeploy GPO to include --hash= with the hash defined in 
c:\wapt\waptupgrade\waptagent.sha256 and a --wait=15 for example.
\srvads\netlogon\waptdeploy.exe 
--hash=5b5988012033e534b5352050bff7dece4840456225787b39dc1d00dfb9e75cd8
(you can get this on linux too with the command "sha256sum 
/var/www/wapt/waptagent.exe" )
Pyscripter development / debug
The tis-python27 package no longer includes all the libraries of Wapt.
So you need to add a site-package dir to python init of Pyscripter to be 
able to debug using Pyscripter.
(seehttp://dev.tranquil.it/wiki/WAPT_-_Mise_en_place_de_l%27environnement_de_d%C...)
In PyScripter, Option Tools / Edit startup scripts, update 
file*python_init.py* with lines :
import site
site.addsitedir('c:/wapt/lib/site-packages')
