Pulp Community Release 7 is available. This release features ~43 bugs fixed and several 
new features/enhancements as follows:

* Role Based Authorization
* Selective Repository Synchronization with Dependency Resolution
* Delta-RPM Local Repository Synchronization
* Enhanced Feedback During Repository Synchronization in Foreground
* Simpler Client Configuration (see: https://fedorahosted.org/pulp/wiki/UGInstallation)
* Database Schema Version 2.

Builds:
* Pulp: 0.138
* Grinder: 0.79
* Gofer: 0.19


Notes:
* pymongo upgrade to 1.9
   Upgrades of pulp require a manual step to address a name change to "pymongo".
   Pulp had a dependency on a custom packaged version of pymongo called
   python-pymongo.  We have changed to using pymongo from Fedora/EPEL.
     The manual step required prior to upgrade is:
        "sudo rpm -e --nodeps python-pymongo"

* /etc/rc.d/init.d/pulp-agent added (on client) and replaces users working
   with the goferd service directly
   Users should do:
     # service pulp-admin (start|stop|status|restart)
   instead of:
     # service goferd (start|stop|status|restart)

* On the client, the /etc/gofer/agent.conf is no longer updated when configuring the
   pulp agent to connect to a remote QPID broker.
   Changing the host in /etc/pulp/client.conf [server] is sufficient.

* The mongo database on the pulp server has changed from a default name of
   _database to pulp_database.
   You can continue to use the existing database by editing
     /etc/pulp/pulp.conf file to look like:
     [database]
     ...
     name: _database

   Or you can export your data to the new database using the mongo client:

   $ mongo
   > use _database
   > db.copyDatabase("_database", "pulp_database", <your-hostname>)
