v1.2.0-beta

First beta release of rebuilt geneos program using well known OSS packages and with a batter internal framework in advance of new features.

There are breaking changes in this release versus v1.0.2 but the program will function as before for the core command set and configuration files. Some of the main changes are:

• JSON configuration files now use a common set of key names, but the old names are supported through an aliasing system. Any updates to JSON configs using this version will result in non-backward compatible set-ups. The support for legacy .rc files is unchanged.
• Remote hosts are no longer treated as a special case component and instead are all configured through a single configuration file $(HOME)/.config/geneos-hosts.json and for those whop may have used the remote features, you now need to re-add your remotes as hosts using the geneos add host command
• Many, almost all, command line flags and options have been changed. updated and rationalised. Normal operations, without flags, should work almost identically to before, but those command, like geneos init and geneos add that supported a special parameter syntax now use more traditional command line flags to set instance parameters like gateways and attributes for SANs

Further tuning of options and testing of the very large combinations of options continues. Feedback is very welcome.
