We summon 0.7.0!

Version 0.7.0 of xOpera TOSCA orchestration tool is finally here!

It includes the following updates:

• updated Ansible executor for ansible-core migration
• reduced opera Python package size - this has been done by replacing ansible dependency with ansible-core, which does not install half gig of Ansible collections as users can install only the ones they need (with ansible-galaxy collection install) or can still use extended install option with pip install opera[ansible] to install all collections
• removed Pipfile and Makefile
• updated dev.sh and Python requirements
• migrated CI/CD from CircleCI to GitHub Actions
• further reduce size of orchestrator by moving xOpera TOSCA parser to opera-tosca-parser Python package
• xOpera TOSCA parser add experimental support for TOSCA 2.0 in README
