v1.1.6

Release Date

2026-03-20

Added

  • .intentignore support — place a .intentignore file in the repo root or intent directory to exclude files from Git sync using fnmatch glob patterns (e.g. test_*.yaml, **/scratch/**).
  • Approve/Reject UI — Approve and Reject buttons on the intent detail page. Supports Nautobot native Approval Workflow (on_workflow_approved, on_workflow_denied, on_workflow_canceled callbacks). is_approved now accepts approval from either custom IntentApproval records or native ApprovalWorkflow.
  • Catalyst Center adapter — new controller_type, controller_site, and controller_org fields on the Intent model; CatalystCenterControllerAdapter for Cisco DNA/Catalyst Center deployments.
  • Intent dependency graph — ManyToManyField (dependencies) for declaring deployment ordering between intents. A second-pass resolver in the Git sync callback resolves depends_on IDs after all intents are created.
  • Management intent types — mgmt_motd, mgmt_netconf, mgmt_dhcp_server, and mgmt_global_config intent types for the Management & Operations domain.
  • Retired status — Retired intents remain in Git but are non-actionable. Reconciliation skips them and only a transition back to Draft is permitted.
  • fw_rule intent type — Firewall Rule intent with stateful/stateless policy support. Includes resolver, Jinja templates for Cisco IOS-XE, IOS-XR, NX-OS, Juniper Junos, Aruba AOS-CX, and Arista EOS, plus FirewallControllerAdapter for centralised appliances (Palo Alto Panorama, Fortinet FortiManager).

Fixed

  • Git sync error surfacing — unhandled exceptions in the datasource callback are now written to the Nautobot job result (visible in the UI) and logged with a full traceback, instead of being swallowed and only appearing as the generic "Please see logs" message.
  • verification_schedule NOT NULL violation — intent files without a verification.schedule key now correctly write an empty string "" to the database column instead of NULL, resolving a PostgreSQL constraint error that caused all intents to fail during Git sync.
  • PostgreSQL "pending trigger events" — migrations 0010 and 0013 now set atomic = False to avoid locking errors on large tables.
  • Python 3.13 Docker build — pinned Python to >=3.10,<3.13 as pyATS/Genie do not publish Python 3.13 wheels.
