  * bug fix for sync_config_file failure introduced after addition of koomie_cf -n option

  * new option for koomie_cf: use -n <node_type> to run parallel commands
    across a pre-defined LosF node-type
  * example kickstart files for use with LosF included in top-level kickstarts/
    directory along with Cobbler snippets in corresponding snippets/ directory
  * added --noprovision option to losf add; allows addition without
    normal provisioning definition requirements (convenient for switches, BMCs, etc.)
  * enhancement to allow for node-type specific config file syncing control
  * fixed missing final update notification when file ownership/permissions changed
  * initconfig utility now includes example networking config file
  * initconfig updated to create const_files/ path for default node type

  * addition of "losf addalias" option to register custom package alias for installation
  * additional option added to showalias allowing expansion of alias membership
  * enhanced ability to create directory with no contents (e.g. a file

    the desired directory path into the [Permissions] config section
    and include a trailing slash "/" on the directory path. 
  * require user to provide a valid configuration path (set via
    LOSF_CONFIG_DIR environment variable or config/config_dir file)
  * added -v options to losf and update command-line utilities to provide versioning info

    per-host basis using regular expressions
  * add auto-configuration of Custom package removal when upgrading a multi-install package
  * changed order of operations for update utility - all packages
    (OS and Custom) flagged for removal are now uninstalled prior to any new updates

Version 0.41.0  (19 March 2013)

  * added silent mode option for update which shows single line summary if host is up to date
  * added option to use alternate config file location (set via LOSF_CONFIG_DIR variable)
  * added local log file (/tmp/losf/last_update) to track last local update
