Release Notes
4.0.0 First semver release
This is the first semver-versioned release of Ironic, created during the OpenStack "Liberty" development cycle. It marks a pivot in our versioning schema from date-based versioning; the previous released version was 2015.1. Full release details are available on Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/ironic/liberty/4.0.0.
- Raised API version to 1.11
- v1.7 exposes a new 'clean_step' property on the Node resource.
- v1.8 and v1.9 improve query and filter support
- v1.10 fixes Node logical names to support all RFC 3986 unreserved characters
- v1.11 changes the default state of newly created Nodes from AVAILABLE to ENROLL
Support for the new ENROLL workflow during Node creation
Previously, all Nodes were created in the "available" provision state - before management credentials were validated, hardware was burned in, etc. This could lead to workloads being scheduled to Nodes that were not yet ready for it.
Beginning with API v1.11, newly created Nodes begin in the ENROLL state, and must be "managed" and "provided" before they are made available for provisioning. API clients must be updated to handle the new workflow when they begin sending the X-OpenStack-Ironic-API-Version header with a value >= 1.11.
Migrations from Nova "baremetal" have been removed
After a deprecation period, the scripts and support for migrating from the old Nova "baremetal" driver to the new Nova "ironic" driver have been removed from Ironic's tree.
Removal of deprecated vendor driver methods
A new @passthru decorator was introduced to the driver API in a previous release. In this release, support for vendor_passthru and driver_vendor_passthru methods has been removed. All in-tree drivers have been updated. Any out of tree drivers which did not update to the @passthru decorator during the previous release will need to do so to be compatible with this release.
Introduce new BootInterface to the Driver API
Drivers may optionally add a new BootInterface. This is merely a refactoring of the Driver API to support future improvements.
Several hardware drivers have been added or enhanced
- Add OCS Driver
- Add UCS Driver
- Add Wake-On-Lan Power Driver
- ipmitool driver supports IPMI v1.5
- Add support to SNMP driver for "APC MasterSwitchPlus" series PDU's
- pxe_ilo driver now supports UEFI Secure Boot (previous releases of the iLO driver only supported this for agent_ilo and iscsi_ilo)
- Add Virtual Media support to iRMC Driver
- Add BIOS config to DRAC Driver
- PXE drivers now support GRUB2
