 CHANGELOG
 =========
 
+v1.7 (Nov 12th, 2023)
+----------------------
+
+**Buildspec Changes**
+
+- Add support for containers via ``container`` property. Initial support includes specifying container runtime, container options, and run command to invoke container. Current platform support includes ``docker``, ``podman``, ``singularity``. `#1642 <https://github.com/buildtesters/buildtest/pull/1642>`_.

+
+ buildspecs:
+ container_commands_ubuntu:
+ type: script
+ executor: generic.local.bash
+ description: run arbitrary linux commands in ubuntu container
+ container:
+ platform: "docker"
+ image: ubuntu:latest
+ command: bash -c "cat /etc/os-release"
+ run: |
+ ls -l /etc/os-release || true
+
+- Update schema for Performance Checks (``assert_ge``, ``assert_ne``, ``assert_gt``, ``assert_ge``, ``assert_le``, ``assert_lt``, ``assert_range``, ``contains``, ``not_contains``) to support for logical AND/OR. The ``mode`` key can be defined in each performance check, and list of assertions are defined under ``comparisons``. `#1648 <https://github.com/buildtesters/buildtest/pull/1648>`_
+

+ - name: scale
+ ref: 5500
+ - name: add
+ ref: 6000
+ - name: triad
+ ref: 6500
+
+
+- Change `mode` property under status check (``status``) to use values ``(AND|and|OR|or)``, this is to be consistent with use of ``mode`` under each performance check such as ``assert_ge``. `#1656 <https://github.com/buildtesters/buildtest/pull/1656>`_
+
+**Command Line Changes**
+
+- Remove executors via command line ``buildtest config executors remove``. `#1636 <https://github.com/buildtesters/buildtest/pull/1636>`_
+- Extend support for ``--count`` for other queries in ``buildtest buildspec find`` command. Rewrite regression test for ``buildtest buildspec find`` `#1638 <https://github.com/buildtesters/buildtest/pull/1638>`_
+
+**Project Improvements**
+
+- Buildtest will gracefully terminate running jobs when user hits ``CTRL-C``. For batch jobs, the jobIDs will be cancelled. Add ``trap`` command in generated script to allow users to run script and catch signal interrupt. `#1644 <https://github.com/buildtesters/buildtest/pull/1644>`_
+- Improvement to polling implementation for batch jobs by showing number of jobs by type (PENDING, RUNNING, COMPLETED) in the table. Fix issue where FAILED slurm jobs were not reported. `#1650 <https://github.com/buildtesters/buildtest/pull/1650>`_
+- Add error message of tests in console output of ``buildtest build``. `#1643 <https://github.com/buildtesters/buildtest/pull/1643>`_
+- Change ``re.match`` -> ``re.fullmatch`` when hostname with ones specified in configuration file. `#1651 <https://github.com/buildtesters/buildtest/pull/1651>`_
+- Rewrite NERSC CI regression tests, update buildtest configuration and example buildspecs to be run. `#1639 <https://github.com/buildtesters/buildtest/pull/1639/>`_
+- Slurm jobs ``TIMEOUT`` and ``OUT_OF_MEMORY`` will be reported as completed jobs. `#1653 <https://github.com/buildtesters/buildtest/pull/1653>`_
+- Rewrite documentation for Batch Scheduler, Troubleshooting, Buildtest Features, and improving bash completion script. `#1637 <https://github.com/buildtesters/buildtest/pull/1637>`_
