[ANN] Vagrant 0.9.0

[Mitchell Hashimoto]

Hello!

I am proud to announce the availability of Vagrant 0.9.0, the biggest Vagrant release to date (by lines of code changed).

Vagrant is now _feature complete_ for version 1.0. You may consider the Vagrant 0.9.x series an alpha to Vagrant 1.0 proper.

Vagrant 0.9.0 focused on finalizing the outward-facing API and adding final features. Because of this, Vagrant 0.9 introduces a significant number of backwards incompatibilities in the Vagrantfile, but provides a graceful transition to the new format by giving helpful error messages when the old styles are used. Because of this, I recommend simply upgrading to Vagrant 0.9, running `vagrant up`, and following the errors to fix the incompatibilities.

You may update with a simple `gem install`.

Highlights:

* Full Windows compatibility - Every Vagrant feature (except NFS, since Windows does not have this built-in) is now supported by Windows. The big one in this: networking support (host only and bridged).

* Bridged networking - You may now have a bridged network on your VM, which makes your VM look like another physical device on the network, with its own local IP that you can access.

* VirtualBox 4.0 support (in addition to 4.1) - Vagrant is now able to support multiple versions of VirtualBox. I've backported 4.0 support into Vagrant. Once 4.2.x is released, Vagrant will be able to support all three versions, allowing for much cleaner Vagrant upgrades that aren't tied to VirtualBox as well.

* Logging - Vagrant now has a significant amount of logging throughout the internals. If you encounter a bug, simply reproduce it with the environmental variable VAGRANT_LOG set to any standard log level (debug, info, warning, error) and log output will also become visible. Please submit bugs with "debug" level log output.

The website (vagrantup.com) is now updated with the latest documentation. The website sends a 24-hour cache header, so please clear your cache if you've visited the site in the last 24 hours.

Thanks for all the support, and enjoy this latest release!

The next major release.... will be Vagrant 1.0.

Best,

Mitchell

Awesome work Mitchell, been stalking you over this entire process and
definitely there was a massive amount of rework done.

Thank you for making life of Windows users more easy, really appreciate it :)

VeeWee does not yet work with 0.9.
