NetBox v2.7.10 Released

[Jeremy Stretch]

https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/releases/tag/v2.7.10

Note: If your deployment requires any non-core Python packages (such as napalm, django-storages, or django-auth-ldap), list them in a file named local_requirements.txt in the NetBox root directory (alongside requirements.txt). This will ensure they are detected and re-installed by the upgrade script when the Python virtual environment is rebuilt.

Enhancements

• #4217 - Embed model documentation within web UI
• #4323 - Add bulk edit view for power panels
• #4324 - Add CSV import view for services
• #4325 - Add CSV import view for rack reservations
• #4332 - Redirect to a user-friendly error page when CSS/JS resources fail to load

Bug Fixes

• #4326 - Exclude Python modules without Script classes from scripts list
• #4337 - Allow bulk editing/deletion of all device components matching a query
• #4338 - Catch AddrFormatError exception when filtering aggregates/prefixes by an invalid prefix

-----

My personal view: creating a venv with top-level packages pinned, but letting the system resolve indirect dependencies based on what currently exists on the Internet at the time, is not stable enough.

"pip freeze" is what I'd use; it's the only way to be sure that the set of packages installed are the same as the set of packages the developer was using.

Example:

Collecting MarkupSafe>=0.23 (from Jinja2==2.10.3->-r requirements.txt (line 17))

  Using cached https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/6e/57/d40124076756c19ff2269678de7ae25a14ebbb3f6314eb5ce9477f191350/MarkupSafe-1.1.1-cp35-cp35m-manylinux1_x86_64.whl

What version of MarkupSafe am I running? Is it the same as yours?  Depends on exactly when you installed yours, when I installed mine, and whether there was an intervening release of MarkupSafe.

Made it work:

echo "setuptools>=36" >local_requirements.txt

./upgrade.sh
