Hello,

i've just released Rex 0.43.0.

This release brings the option to cache the machine inventory, so that the
execution will be faster and the possibility to create a report of the
changes rex did during the run. Please see [1] for examples how to use it.

Due to the work of Ferenc Erki it also adds support for OpenWrt. See [2]
for a detailed overview of the supported commands.

Many thanks to all the contributors.


These are all the changes:
