This Vamp 093 release delivers powerful new features and improvements on both the UI, backend and architectural aspects of the system. Noticeable improvements are the redesigned UI with better support for larger deployments and lists due to a new list view and "as you type" search/filter. We moved the menu to the vertical left for better use of screen real-estate. We've added admin features to the UI to display logging, hot reloading of configurations and displaying the several layers of configurations. And very useful: all screens now have a context-sensitive help panel to the right.

On the backend side we now support configurable namespaces and service networks. We've solved a time-out issue in our UI implementation that was appearing when network packets would be chunked by the javascript engine. We've extended and improved our logging for better debugging, adding more log events and also streaming. The API now supports an additional endpoint, conditions, that can be referenced by name in the Vamp gateway routes. This helps to manage complex condition-rules.

Vamp 093 now supports HAproxy 1.7 and running multiple gateway configurations in parallel, including running several versions of HAproxy.

We replaced the original Vamp Gateway Agent agent binary with confd (https://github.com/magneticio/vamp-gateway-agent/issues/7), added health-check endpoints to the VGA's, replaced logstash with elastic filebeat, and added elastic metricbeat to the Vamp Workflow Agents for better logging and debugging.
