- The old
hddresource is renamed todssd(Distributed SSD). This is reflected in all areas of the API. The subscriptions API still acceptshddas an alias, but returnsdssd. The capabilities API returnsdssd. - OAuth support for single sign-on in WebApp. Users can authenticate in WebApp with an existing account from Google, Twitter, LinkedIn, or Facebook. See Profile -> settings to connect you CloudSigma account with an existing OAuth provider.
- Drive images licenses. Servers running with drives from drives library, which contain software that requires a license need a subscriptions in order to be started.
