The box collection can now find new-style boxes with providers and
return proper Box objects. In the future, we'll also have to implement
upgrading old style ones as well.
This is the beginning of the new box internals. The basic idea is that
the new box has a new field: provider. The provider will describe what
provider that box was built with and what provider it is made to work
with.
The future of subclassing things like configuration bases and so on will
be to use `Vagrant.plugin(version, component)`. For example:
`Vagrant.plugin("1", :provisioner)`.
Since we're not calling this lambda from inside a method, the `return`
causes a LocalJumpError on 1.8.x. It appears this functionality works
fine on 1.9.x but we'd like to support both. The correct behavior
appears to use `next`.
Vagrant.configure is now how configuration is done in Vagrantfiles
(previously it was Vagrant::Config.run). This function takes a single
argument which is the version of configuration to use.
Various internals were updated for this new versioned configuration.
Note that multiple versions of configuration aren't yet used so aren't
fully supported by Vagrant, but the foundation is being set here.
Easy commands are well... easy! They don't offer the full power of
creating a completely custom command class, but they let you do the
basics (what almost everyone needs) with minimal fuss. Example:
class MyPlugin < Vagrant.plugin("1")
name "my-plugin"
easy_command "foo" do |action|
puts "HELLO!"
end
end
NOTE: The "action" stuff isn't done yet, but will be soon!
This changed plugin loading semantics a tiny bit, since they are
no longer loaded when Vagrant is loaded but instead when the
Vagrant::Environment is initialized. I'll note this in the CHANGELOG.
