# Salt 2014.7.2 Release Notes

release:

  2015-02-09

Version 2014.7.2 is a bugfix release for 2014.7.0.

The changes include:

- Fix erroneous warnings for systemd service enabled check (issue 19606)

- Fix FreeBSD kernel module loading, listing, and persistence `kmod` (issue 197151, issue 19682)

- Allow case-sensitive npm package names in the `npm state`. This may break behavior for people expecting the state to lowercase their npm package names for them. The `npm module` was never affected by mandatory lowercasing. (issue 20329)

- Deprecate the `activate` parameter for pip.install for both the `module` and the `state`. If `bin_env` is given and points to a virtualenv, there is no need to activate that virtualenv in a shell for pip to install to the virtualenv.

- Fix a file-locking bug in gitfs (issue 18839)

- Deprecated `archive_user` in favor of standardized `user` parameter in `state` and added `group` parameter.
