    ============
    
    Overview
    --------
    
    +------------------+-----------------------+
    | Release date     |      **4/12/2017**    |
    +------------------+-----------------------+
    
    Details
    -------
    
    Unfortunately, Rally 0.9.0 contains various bugs. We work hard to fix them,
    improve our CI to avoid such issues in future and ready to present a new Rally
    release which includes only bug-fixes.
    
    Fixed bugs
    ~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * [deployment] Credentials is not updated as soon as deployment is recreated.
      Need to call recreate request twice.

      <https://bugs.launchpad.net/rally/+bug/1675271>`_
    
    * [task] Scenario `IronicNodes.create_and_list_node
      <https://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.9.1/plugins/plugin_reference.html#ironicnodes-create-and-list-node-scenario>`_
      had a wrong check that list of all nodes contains newly created one.
    
    * [task][cleanup] Do not remove quotas in case of existing users
    
    * [task][cleanup] Various traces of neutron resources
    
    * [core] Keystone v3, authentication error for Rally users if the value of

    Rally v0.9.0
    ============
    
    Overview
    --------
    
    +------------------+-----------------------+
    | Release date     |      **3/20/2017**    |
    +------------------+-----------------------+
    
    Details
    -------
    
    Command Line Interface
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * `rally plugin list` now does not contain hidden plugins.
    
    Task component
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * Added check for duplicated keys in task files.
    
    * The order of subtasks (scenarios/workloads) is not ignored any more. You can
      generate whatever you want load or use that feature for up the cloud (put
      small scenario to the start of task to wake up the cloud before the real
      load).
    
    * Information about workload creation is added to HTML-reports.
    
    * Task statuses is changed to be more clear and cover more cases:
    
     - ``verifying`` is renamed to ``validating``.
     - ``failed`` is divided for 2 statuses - ``validation_failed``, which means
       that task did not pass validation step, and ``crashed``, which means that
       something went wrong in rally engine.
    
    * Our awesome cleanup become more awesome! The filter mechanism is improved to
      discover resources in projects created only by Rally (it works for most of
      resources, except several network-related ). It makes possible to run Rally
      with existing users in real tenants without fear to remove something
      important.
    
    Verification component
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * Fixed an issue with missed tests while listing all supported tests of
      specified verifier.
    
    * Fixed an issue with displaying the wrong version of verifier in case of
      cloning from the local directory.
    
    * Extend `rally verify rerun
      <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.9.0/verification/cli_reference.html#rally-verify-rerun>`_
      with ``--detailed``, ``--no-use``, ``--tag`` and ``--concurrency`` arguments.
    
    * Add output examples for `JSON
      <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.9.0/verification/reports.html#json>`_ and
      `JUnit-XML
      <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.9.0/verification/reports.html#junit-xml>`_
      reporters.
    
    Plugins
    ~~~~~~~
    
    **Contexts**
    
    * Extend cinder quotas to support ``backups`` and ``backup_gigabytes``.
    
    **Deployment Engines**:
    
    *Updated* Extend `DevstackEngine
    <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.9.0/plugins/plugin_reference.html#devstackengine-engine>`_
    with ``enable_plugin`` option.
    
    **OpenStack clients**:
    
    * Extend support for auth urls like ``https://example.com:35357/foo/bar/v3``
    
    * Pass endpoint type to heatclient
    
    **Scenarios**:
    
    * *NEW!!*
    
     - `CinderVolumeTypes.create_and_delete_encryption_type
       <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.9.0/plugins/plugin_reference.html#cindervolumetypes-create-and-delete-encryption-type-scenario>`_
    
     - `CinderVolumeTypes.create_and_set_volume_type_keys
       <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.9.0/plugins/plugin_reference.html#cindervolumetypes-create-and-set-volume-type-keys-scenario>`_
    
     - `KeystoneBasic.create_and_list_roles
       <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.9.0/plugins/plugin_reference.html#keystonebasic-create-and-list-roles-scenario>`_
    
     - `KeystoneBasic.create_and_update_user
       <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.9.0/plugins/plugin_reference.html#keystonebasic-create-and-update-user-scenario>`_
    
     - `NovaKeypair.create_and_get_keypair
       <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.9.0/plugins/plugin_reference.html#novakeypair-create-and-get-keypair-scenario>`_
    
     - `NovaServers.resize_shutoff_server
       <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.9.0/plugins/plugin_reference.html#novaservers-resize-shutoff-server-scenario>`_
    
     - `VMTasks.dd_load_test
       <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.9.0/plugins/plugin_reference.html#vmtasks-dd-load-test-scenario>`_
    
    * *UPDATED!!*
    
     - Extend `VMTasks.boot_runcommand_delete
       <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.9.0/plugins/plugin_reference.html#vmtasks-boot-runcommand-delete-scenario>`_
       to display just raw text output of executed command.
    
    * *DELETED*
    
      Scenario `VMTasks.boot_runcommand_delete_custom_image
      <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.8.0/plugins/plugin_reference.html#vmtasks-boot-runcommand-delete-custom-image-scenario>`_
      is removed since `VMTasks.boot_runcommand_delete
      <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.9.0/plugins/plugin_reference.html#vmtasks-boot-runcommand-delete-scenario>`_
      covers the case of that particular scenario without adding any complexity.
    
    **Validators**:
    
    * Extend ``required_contexts`` validator to support ``at least one of the``
      logic.
    
    * Fix a bunch of JSON schemas which are used for validation of all plugins.
    
    Documentation
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    We totally reworked `Plugins Reference
    <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.9.0/plugins/plugin_reference.html>`_ page.
    Now it looks more like `Command Line Interface
    <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.9.0/cli_reference.html>`_, which means that
    you can get links for particular parameter of particular plugin.
    
    Also, you can find expected parameters and their types of all contexts, hooks,
    SLAs and so on! Most of them still miss descriptions, but we are working on
    adding them.
    
    Fixed bugs
    ~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * [osclients] Custom auth mechanism was used for zaqarclient instead of unified
      keystonesession, which led to auth errors at some envs.
    
    * [plugins] During running
      `CinderVolumes.create_and_restore_volume_backup
      <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.9.0/plugins/plugin_reference.html#cindervolumes-create-and-restore-volume-backup-scenario>`_
      scenario we had a race problem with backup deleting due to wrong check of
      backup status.
    
    * [plugins][verifications] Jenkins expexts "classname" JUnitXML attribute
      instead of "class_name".
    
    Thanks

    Overview
    --------

    | Release date     |      **1/25/2017**    |
    +------------------+-----------------------+
    
    Details
    -------
    
    Specs & Feature Requests
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * `[Implemented] Refactor Verification Component
      <https://github.com/openstack/rally/blob/0.8.0/doc/specs/implemented/verification_refactoring.rst>`_
    
    * `[Implemented] Scaling & Refactoring Rally DB
      <https://github.com/openstack/rally/blob/0.8.0/doc/specs/implemented/db_refactoring.rst>`_
    
    Installation
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    We switched to use bindep library for checking required system packages.
    All our dependencies moved to separate file (like requirements.txt for python
    packages) `bindep.txt
    <https://github.com/openstack/rally/blob/0.8.0/bindep.txt>`_.
    
    Database
    ~~~~~~~~
    
    .. warning:: Database schema is changed, you must run
         `rally-manage db upgrade <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.8.0/cli/cli_reference.html#rally-manage-db-upgrade>`_
         to be able to use old Rally installation with latest release.
    * change structure of database to be more flexible
    * save raw task results in chunks (see raw_result_chunk_size option of
      [DEFAULT] rally configuration section)
    * add db revision check in rally API, so it is impossible to use rally with
      wrong db now.
    
    Rally API
    ~~~~~~~~~
    
    Single entry point for Rally API is added - rally.api.API . Old API classes
    (``rally.api.Task``, ``rally.api.Verification``, ``rally.api.Deployment``) are
    deprecated now.
    
    Rally CLI
    ~~~~~~~~~
    
    * ``rally task sla_check`` is deprecated now in favor of
      ``rally task sla-check``
    
    * Deprecated category ``rally show`` was removed.
    
    * `rally plugin list` is extended with plugin base column
    
    Task Component
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    - [Random names] scenario for checking performance of generate_random_name
      method is added to our CI with proper SLA. Be sure, whatever number of random
      names you need, it will not affect performance of Rally at all, we checked.
    
    - [atomic actions] scenario for checking performance of calculating atomic
      actions is added to our CI with proper SLA. Be sure, whatever number atomics
      you have in scenarios, it will not affect performance of Rally at all, we
      checked.
    
    - [services] new entity is introduced for helping to provide compatibility
      layer between different API versions of one service.
    
    Verification component
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    We completely redesign the whole Verification component. For more details see
    `our new docs for that component
    <http://rally.readthedocs.ioen/0.8.0/verification/index.html>`_
    
    Unfortunately, such big change could not be done in backward compatible way,
    so old code is not compatible with new one. See `HowTo migrate from
    Verification component 0.7.0 to 0.8.0
    <http://rally.readthedocs.ioen/0.8.0/verification/howto/migrate_from_old_design.html>`_
    
    Plugins
    ~~~~~~~
    
    **Services**:
    
    * Glance:
    
      Switched from V1 to V2 API by default.

     - Transmit endpoint_type to keystoneclient
     - Full keystone V3 support
    
    **Scenarios**:

    * *NEW!!*:
     - `fault_injection
       <http://rally.readthedocs.ioen/0.8.0/plugins/plugin_reference.html#fault-injection-hook>`_
    
    **Runners**
    
    * *Updated*:
     - `RPS runner
       <http://rally.readthedocs.ioen/0.8.0/plugins/plugin_reference.html#rps-scenario-runner>`_
       is extended with ability to increase 'rps' value by arithmetic progression
       across certain duration. Now it can be also a dict specifying progression
       parameters:
    
       .. code-block:: json
    
            rps": {
                "start": 1,
                "end": 10,
                "step": 1,
                "duration": 2
            }
    
       This will generate rps value: ``start, start + step, start + 2 * step, ..,
       end`` across certain 'duration' seconds each step. If iteration count not
       ended at the last step of progression, then rps will continue to generate
       with "end" value. Note that the last rps could be generated smaller.
    
    Fixed bugs
    ~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * [hooks] incorrect encoding of stdout/stderr streams opened by sys_call hook
      for py3
    
    * [hooks] sorting Hook column at HTML report doesn't work
    
    * [tasks][scenarios][neutron] L3 HA: Unable to complete operation on subnet
    
      `Launchpad bug-report #1562878 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/rally/+bug/1562878>`_
    
    * [tasks] JSON report doesn't save order of atomics
    
    * [tasks][cleanup][nova] Failed to remove aggregate which has hosts in it
    
    * [tasks] `--abort-on-sla-failure
      <http://rally.readthedocs.ioen/0.8.0/cli_reference.html#task-start-abortonslafailure>`_
      mechanism works only for current workload, but does not stop the next ones.
    
    * [hooks] hooks section isn't displayed in HTML report

    Details
    -------
    
    Specs & Feature Requests
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * [Used] Ported all rally scenarios to class base
    
      `Spec reference <https://github.com/openstack/rally/blob/0.7.0/doc/specs/implemented/class-based-scenarios.rst>`_
    
    * `[Implemented] New Plugins Type - Hook <https://github.com/openstack/rally/blob/0.7.0/doc/specs/implemented/hook_plugins.rst>`_
    
    Database
    ~~~~~~~~
    
    .. warning:: Database schema is changed, you must run
         `rally-manage db upgrade <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.7.0/cli/cli_reference.html#rally-manage-db-upgrade>`_
         to be able to use old Rally installation with latest release.
    
    * [require migration] fix for wrong format of "verification_log" of tasks
    * [require migration] remove admin_domain_name from OpenStack deployments
    
    Rally Deployment
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * Remove admin_domain_name from openstack deployment
      Reason: admin_domain_name parameter is absent in Keystone Credentials.
    
    Rally Task
    ~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * [Trends][Reports] Use timestamps on X axis in trends report
    
    * [Reports] Add new OutputTextArea chart plugin
    
      New chart plugin can show arbitrary textual data on
      "Scenario Stata -> Per iteration" tab.
    
      This finally allows to show non-numeric data like IP addresses, notes and
      even long comments.
    
      Plugin `Dummy.dummy_output <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.7.0/plugin/plugin_reference.html#dummy-dummy-output-scenario>`_
      is also updated to provide demonstration.
    
    * [cli] Add version info to *rally task start* output
    
    * [api] Allow to delete stopped tasks without force=True
    
      It is reasonable to protect deletion of running tasks (statuses INIT,
      VERIFYING, RUNNING, ABORTING and so on...) but it is strange to protect
      deletion for stopped tasks (statuses FAILED and ABORTED). Also this is
      annoying in CLI usage.
    
    * Added hooks and triggers.
    
      Hook is a new entity which can be launched on specific events. Trigger is
      another new entity which processes events and launches hooks.
      For example, hook can launch specific destructive action - just execute cli
      command(we have sys_call hook for this task) and it can be launched by
      simple trigger on specific iteration(s) or time (there is event trigger).
    
    Rally Verify
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    Scenario tests in Tempest require an image file. Logic of obtaining this image
    is changed:
    
    * If CONF.tempest.img_name_regex is set, Rally tries to find an image matching
      to the regex in Glance and download it for the tests.
    * If CONF.tempest.img_name_regex is not set (or Rally didn't find the image
      matching to CONF.tempest.img_name_regex), Rally downloads the image by the
      link specified in CONF.tempest.img_url.

  • 0.6.0

    ============
    Rally v0.6.0
    ============
    
    Overview
    --------
    
    +------------------+-----------------------+
    | Release date     |     **9/05/2016**     |
    +------------------+-----------------------+
    
    Details
    -------
    
    Common
    ~~~~~~
    
    * Added Python 3.5 support
    * Sync requirements with OpenStack global-requirements
    * Start using latest way of authentication - keystoneauth library
    * Start porting all scenario plugins to class-based view.
    
    Specs & Feature Requests
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * `[Implemented] SLA Performance degradation plugin <https://github.com/openstack/rally/blob/0.6.0/doc/specs/implemented/sla_pd_plugin.rst>`_
    * `[Proposed] New Tasks Configuration section - hook <https://github.com/openstack/rally/blob/0.6.0/doc/specs/in-progress/hook_section.rst>`_
    
    Database
    ~~~~~~~~
    
    * disable db downgrade api
    * [require migration] upgrade deployment config
    
    Docker image
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * Add sudo rights to rally user
      Rally is a pluggable framework. External plugins can require installation of
      additional python or system packages, so we decided to add sudo rights.
    
    * Move from ubuntu:14.04 base image to ubuntu:16.04 .
      Ubuntu 16.04 is current/latest LTS release. Let's use it.
    
    * pre-install vim
      Since there are a lot of users who like to experiment and modify samples
      inside container, rally team decided to pre-install vim
    
    * configure/pre-install bash-completion
      Rally provides bash-completion script, but it doesn't work without installed
      `bash-completion` package and now it is included in our image.
    
    Rally Deployment
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * Add strict jsonschema validation for ExistingCloud deployments. All incorrect
      and unexpected properties will not be ignored anymore. If you need to store
      some extra parameters, you can use new "extra" property.
    * Fix an issue with endpoint_type.
      Previously, endpoint type was not transmitted to keystone client. In this
      case, keystoneclient used default endpoint type (for different API calls it
      can differ). Behaviour after the fix:
    
       - None endpoint type -> Rally will initialize all clients without setting
         endpoint type. It means that clients will choose what default values for
         endpoint type use by itself. Most of clients have "public" as default
         values. Keystone use "admin" or "internal" by default.
       - Not none endpoint type -> Rally will initialize all clients with this
         endpoint. Be careful, by default most of keystone v2 api calls do not work
         with public endpoint type.
    
    Rally Task
    ~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * [core] Iterations numbers in logging and reports must be synchronized. Now
      they start from 1 .
    
    * [config] users_context.keystone_default_role is a new config option
      (Defaults to "member") for setting default user role for new users in case
      of Keystone V3.
    
    * [Reports] Embed Rally version into HTML reports
      This adds Rally version via meta tag into HTML reports:
    
        <meta name="generator" content="Rally version {{ version }}">
    
    * [Reports] Expand menu if there is only one menu group
    
    * [logging] Remove deprecated rally.common.log module
    
    * [Trends][Reports] Add success rate chart to trends report
    
    * [Reports] Hide menu list if there is no data at all
    
    Rally Verify
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * Updating Tempest config file
     - Some tests (for boto, horizon, etc.) were removed from Tempest and now there
       is no need to keep the corresponding  options in Tempest config file.
    
     - Some options in Tempest were moved from one section to another and we should
       to do the corresponding changes in Rally to be up to date with the latest
       Tempest version.
    
    * Adding '--skip-list' arg to `rally verify start` cmd
    
      `CLI argument for --skip-list <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.6.0/cli/cli_reference.html#verify-start-skiplist>`_
    
    * *NEW!!*:
    
     - `Command for plugin listing <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.6.0/cli/cli_reference.html#rally-verify-listplugins>`_
     - `Command to uninstall plugins <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.6.0/cli/cli_reference.html#rally-verify-uninstallplugin>`_
    
    * Rename and deprecated several arguments for `rally verify start` cmd:
    
     - tests-file  -> load-list
     - xfails-file -> xfail-list

    Details
    -------
    
    This release took much more time than we expected, but we have a lot of
    reasons for such delay and if you look at our change-log, you will understand
    them.:)
    
    Here is a quick introduction:
    
    * To make our releases as much as possible stable, we added upper limits for
      each of our requirements;
    * A lot of deprecated lines of code were removed, so be careful;
    * Statistics trends for given tasks were introduced;
    * Support for tempest plugins was added;
    * Several new pages at docs.
    
    Specs & Feature Requests
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * `[Introduced && implemented] Introduce class-based scenario implementation <https://github.com/openstack/rally/blob/0.5.0/doc/specs/implemented/class-based-scenarios.rst>`_
    
    * `[Introduced] Rally Task Validation refactoring <https://github.com/openstack/rally/blob/0.5.0/doc/specs/in-progress/pluggable_validators.rst>`_
    
    * `[Introduced] Scaling & Refactoring Rally DB <https://github.com/openstack/rally/blob/0.5.0/doc/specs/in-progress/db_refactoring.rst>`_
    
    * `[Introduced] SLA Performance degradation plugin <https://github.com/openstack/rally/blob/0.5.0/doc/specs/in-progress/sla_pd_plugin.rst>`_
    
    Logging
    ~~~~~~~
    
    * disable urllib3 warnings only if the library provide them
    
    Database
    ~~~~~~~~
    
    [doesn't require migration]
    Transform DB layer to return dicts, not SQLAlchemy models
    
    Rally Deployment
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * Support single-AZ deployment
    
      This supports the case where OpenStack is deployed with a single AZ for both
      controller(s) and compute(s), and not all hosts in the AZ that contains an
      instance are guaranteed to have the nova-compute service.
    
    * Extend creation from environment with several new vars
    
      - OS_ENDPOINT_TYPE/OS_INTERFACE
      - OS_USER_DOMAIN_NAME
      - OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_NAME
    
    * Improve devstack plugin for Keystone V3
    
    Rally Task
    ~~~~~~~~~~
    
    *NEW!!* Statistics trends for given tasks.
    
    Rally Verify
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * Remove '--tempest-config' arg from 'reinstall' command
    
      .. warning:: Using `--tempest-config` is became an error from this release.
          Use `rally verify genconfig` cmd for all config related stuff.
    
    * Don't install Tempest when `rally verify start`
    
      .. warning:: Use should use `rally verify install` cmd to install tempest now
    
    * Add ability to setup version of Tempest to install
    
      `CLI argument to setup version <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.5.0/cli/cli_reference.html#verify-install-version>`_
    
    * Configure 'aodh' service in 'service_available' section
    
    * Check existence of Tempest-tree in `rally verify discover` cmd
    
    * Make Tempest work with auth url which doesn't include keystone version
    
      Tempest needs /v2.0 and /v3 at the end of URLs. Actually, we can't fix
      Tempest, so we extend our configuration module with workaround which allow
      to specify auth_url without version in rally deployment config.
    
    * Use default list of plugins for sahara
    
    * Move tempest related options of rally configuration to separate section.
    
    * *NEW!!* Support for tempest plugins.
    
      `CLI argument to install them <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.5.0/cli/cli_reference.html#verify-installplugin>`_
    
    Plugins
    ~~~~~~~
    
    In this release we are happy to introduce new entity - plugins Base classes
    
    We have a lot of base plugin entities: Context, Scenario, SLA and etc.
    Sometimes plugins of different bases can have equal names(i.e ceilometer
    OSClient and ceilometer Context). It is normal and we should allow such
    conflicts. To support such cases we introduced new entity - plugin base.
    Statements of plugin bases:
     - Each plugin base is unique entity;
     - Names of plugin bases can't conflict with each other;
     - Names of two or more plugins in one plugin base can't conflict with each
       other(in case of same namespace).
     - Names of two or more plugins in different plugin base can conflict
    
    Current list of plugin bases:
     - rally.task.context.Context
     - rally.task.scenario.Scenario
     - rally.task.types.ResourceType
     - rally.task.exporter.TaskExporter
     - rally.task.processing.charts.Chart
     - rally.task.runner.ScenarioRunner
     - rally.task.sla.SLA
     - rally.deployment.serverprovider.provider.ProviderFactory
     - rally.deployment.engine.Engine
     - rally.osclients.OSClient
    
    **OSClients**
    
    * *NEW!!* Support for Senlin client
    
    * *NEW!!* Support for Gnocchi client
    
    * *NEW!!* Support for Magnum client
    
    * *NEW!!* Support for Watcher client

      `New Plugin Reference <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.5.0/plugin/plugin_reference.html#dummy-dummy-output-scenario>`_
    
    * Extend CinderVolumes.create_volume_and_clone with nested_level
    
      Add nested_level argument for nested cloning volume to new volume
    
      `Plugin Reference <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.5.0/plugin/plugin_reference.html#cindervolumes-create-volume-and-clone>`_
    
    * Extend CinderVolumes.create_nested_snapshots_and_attach_volume
    
      Two new arguments were added: create_volume_kwargs and create_snapshot_kwargs
    
      .. warning:: All arguments related to snapshot creation should be transmitted
            only via create_snapshot_kwargs.

    * Introduce new style of scenarios - class based.
    
      `Spec Reference <https://github.com/openstack/rally/blob/0.5.0/doc/specs/implemented/class-based-scenarios.rst>`_
    
    * Improve report for VMTasks.boot_runcommand_delete
    
    * [Sahara] Added 5.5.0 version for cdh-plugin and 1.6.0 version for spark
    
    * Extend boot_server_from_volume_and_delete, boot_server_from_volume,
      boot_server_from_volume_and_live_migrate, boot_server_from_volume_snapshot
      scenarios of NovaServers class with "volume_type" parameter.
    
    **Contexts**:
    
    * *NEW!!*:
    
      - `Cinder volume_types <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.5.0/plugin/plugin_reference.html#volume-types-context>`_
      - `Murano environments <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.5.0/plugin/plugin_reference.html#murano-environments-context>`_
      - `Heat dataplane <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.5.0/plugin/plugin_reference.html#heat-dataplane-context>`_
    
    * Use Broker Pattern in Keystone roles context
    
    * Use immutable types for locking context configuration
    
      Since context configuration passed to Context.__init__() was a mutable type
      (dict or list), sometimes we had unexpected changes done by unpredictable
      code (for example, in wrappers).
    
    * Add possibility to balance usage of users
    
      For the moment all users for tasks were taken randomly and there was no way
      to balance them between tasks. It may be very useful when we have difference
      between first usage of tenant/user and all consecutive. In this case we get
      different load results.
    
      Therefore, "users" context was extended with new config option
      'user_choice_method' that defines approach for picking up users.
    
      Two values are available:
      - random
      - round_robin
    
      Default one is compatible with old approach - "random".
    
    * Make sahara_image and custom_image contexts glance v2 compatible
    
    * Extend servers context with "nics" parameter
    
    * Extend network context with "dns_nameservers" parameter
    
    * Extend volume context with "volume_type" parameter
    
    **Cleanup**:
    
    * Mark several cleanup resources as tenant_resource
    
      Nova servers and security groups are tenant related resources, but resource
      decorator missed that fact which makes cleanup tries to delete one resources
      several times.
    
    * Turn off redundant nova servers cleanup for NovaFlavors.list_flavors scenario
    
    * Add neutron cleanup for NeutronSecurityGroup.create_and_delete_security_groups
    
    **Exporter**:
    
    Rename task-exporter "file-exporter" to "file".
    
    .. warning:: "file-exporter" is deprecated and will be removed in further
        releases.
    
    **Types**:
    
    Remove deprecated types.
    
    .. warning:: you should use rally.task.types.convert instead of
        rally.task.types.set decorator
    
    **Validators**
    
    * Add a required_api_version validator
    * Add validators for scenario arguments
    
    **Utils**:
    
    Use glance wrapper where appropriate to support compatibility between V1 and V2
    
    Bug fixes
    ~~~~~~~~~
    
    **19 bugs were fixed**:
    
    * Wrong arguments order of Keystone wrapper in case of V2 and V3
    
    * AttributeError while disabling urllib3 warnings on old installations
    
      `Launchpad bug-report <https://bugs.launchpad.net/rally/+bug/1573650>`_
    
    * install_rally.sh script is failed while obtaining setuptools
    
    * "-inf" load duration in case of wrong runner plugin and failed start of
      contexts
    
    * Strange input task in the report
    
      `Launchpad bug-report <https://bugs.launchpad.net/rally/+bug/1570328>`_
    
    * Wrong behaviour of boot_server_from_volume scenarios in case of booting
      server from image.
    
      The arg of image must be None, when booting server from volume. Otherwise
      still boot server from image.
    
      Affected scenarios:
        NovaServers.boot_server_from_volume
        NovaServers.boot_server_from_volume_and_delete
        NovaServers.boot_server_from_volume_and_resize
        NovaServers.boot_server_from_volume_and_live_migrate
    
      `Launchpad bug-report <https://bugs.launchpad.net/rally/+bug/1578556>`_
    
    * Weak validation of json schema of RPS runner
    
      JSON Schema of RPS runner doesn't have "required" field. It means that
      users are able to pass wrong configs and we will have runtime error while
      running task.
    
    * Rally doesn't take cacert setting while creating keystone session
    
      `Launchpad bug-report <https://bugs.launchpad.net/rally/+bug/1577360>`_
    
    * Heat scenarios fail when API uses TLS
    
      `Launchpad bug-report <https://bugs.launchpad.net/rally/+bug/1585456>`_
    
    * Example in comment of context manila_share_networks wrong
    
      `Launchpad bug-report <https://bugs.launchpad.net/rally/+bug/1587164>`_
    
    * There is no way to get UUID of a verification after it is created by
      "rally verify start" or "rally verify import_results" when --no-use is set
    
      `Launchpad bug-report <https://bugs.launchpad.net/rally/+bug/1587034>`_
    
    * Exposed ssh timeout and interval in vm scenario
    
      `Launchpad bug-report <https://bugs.launchpad.net/rally/+bug/1587728>`_
    
    * Ceilometer scenario doesn't require "ceilometer" ctx
    
      `Launchpad bug-report <https://bugs.launchpad.net/rally/+bug/1557642>`_
    
    * "servers" context requires setting network id for multiple possible networks
      found.
    
      `Launchpad bug-report <https://bugs.launchpad.net/rally/+bug/1592292>`_
    
    * nested_level data type incorrect in create_nested_snapshots_and_attach_volume
    
      `Launchpad bug-report <https://bugs.launchpad.net/rally/+bug/1594656>`_
    
    * Rally cleanup servers raises exception
    
      `Launchpad bug-report <https://bugs.launchpad.net/rally/+bug/1584104>`_
    
    * Stopping server is redundant before cold-migrating server
    
      `Launchpad bug-report <https://bugs.launchpad.net/rally/+bug/1594730>`_
    
    * existing_users context doesn't work in case of Keystone v3
    
    * Whether validates flavor's disk or not depends on booting type of the instance
    
      `Launchpad bug-report <https://bugs.launchpad.net/rally/+bug/1596756>`_
    
    Documentation
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * Re-use openstack theme for building docs outside rtd.
    
      `Rally Docs at docs.openstack.org <http://docs.openstack.org/developer/rally/>`_
    
    * Add page for Verification component
    
      `RTD page <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.5.0/tutorial/step_10_verifying_cloud_via_tempest.html>`_
    
    * Add glossary page
    
      `RTD page <http://rally.readthedocs.io/en/0.5.0/tutorial/glossary.html>`_
    
    * Adjust docs reference to "KeystoneBasic.authenticate" scenario

    Details
    -------
    
    A half of patches relate to Cleanup. We have once again proved that ideal
    stuff can be improved. :)
    
    Specs & Feature Requests
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * `[Spec][Introduced] Improve atomic actions format`__
    
    __ https://github.com/openstack/rally/blob/master/doc/specs/in-progress/improve_atomic_actions_format.rst
    
    Plugins
    ~~~~~~~
    
    * **Cleanups**:
    
     * Use proper attribute to get heat stack name
    
     * Always assign a name to created images.
    
       This is necessary for name-based cleanup. If a name is not specified, one
       will be generated automatically.
    
     * Improve filtering glance images in case of V2 API
    
     * Delete only images created by images context
    
       Since the images context allows creating images with arbitrary names,
       name-based cleanup won't work for it, so we have to delete the exact list
       of images that it created instead.
    
     * New config option to set cleanup threads
    
       Allow the user to change the number of cleanup threads via the rally
       config. When scaling out to thousands of instances, the cleanup can take
       forever with the static 20 threads.
    
     * Add inexact matching to name_matches_object
    
       This will support places where we create resources with names that start
       with a given name pattern, but include some additional identifier
       afterwards. For instance, when bulk creating instances, Nova appends a UUID
       to each instance name.
    
    * **Scenarios**:
    
     * Add sample of template for testing for testing heat caching.
    
     * Introduced new scenario `Dummy.dummy_random_action`__. It is suitable for
       demonstration of upcoming trends report.
    
    __ http://rally.readthedocs.org/en/latest/plugin/plugin_reference.html#dummy-dummy-random-action-scenario
    
    * **Contexts**:
    
     `api_versions`__ context was extended to support switch between Keystone V2
     and V3 API versions. Now it is possible to use one Rally deployment to check
     both Keystone APIs.
    
    __ http://rally.readthedocs.org/en/latest/plugin/plugin_reference.html#api-versions-context
    
    * **Newcomer in the family**:
    
     All ResourceType classes are pluggable now and it is much easier to use and
     extend them.
    
     .. warning:: Decorator ``rally.task.types.set`` is deprecated now in favor of
        ``rally.task.types.convert``.
    
    Bug fixes
    ~~~~~~~~~
    
    * #1536172: rally deployment destroy failed with traceback for failed
      deployments. At current moment it is impossible to delete deployment if for
      some reason deployment engine plugin cannot be found, because exception will
      be thrown.
    
    Documentation
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * Remove extra link in `All release notes`
    
      Previously, two links for latest release were presented.
    
    * Update release notes for 0.3.2
    
      * Fixed indents for warning messages
      * Fixed all references
    
    Thanks

    Details
    -------
    
    This release, as well as all previous ones, includes a lot of internal and
    external changes. Most important of them are listed below.
    
    CLI changes
    ~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * .. warning:: [Modified] Option '--tempest-config' for 'rally verify
      reinstall' command was deprecated for removal.
    
    * .. warning:: [Removed] Option `--system-wide-install` was removed from
      `rally verify` commands in favor of `--system-wide` option.
    
    * .. warning:: [Modified] Step of installation of Tempest during execution of
      the `rally verify start` command was deprecated and will be removed in the
      future. Please use `rally verify install` instead.
    
    * Rework commands.task.TaskCommands.detailed. Now output of the command
      contains the same results as in HTML report.
    
    Rally Verify
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * Re-run failed Tempest tests
    
      Add the ability to re-run the tempest tests that failed in the last test
      execution. Sometimes Tempest tests fail due to a special temporary condition
      in the environment, in such cases it is very useful to be able to re-execute
      those tests.
    
      Running the following command will re-run all the test that failed during
      the last test execution regardless of what test suite was run.
    
      .. code-block:: bash
    
          rally verify start --failing
    
    Specs & Feature Requests
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * [Spec][Introduced] Refactoring scenario utils
    
      `https://github.com/openstack/rally/blob/master/doc/specs/in-progress
      /refactor_scenario_utils.rst`_
    
    * [Spec] Deployment unification
    
    Plugins
    ~~~~~~~
    
    * **Scenarios**:
    
     * [updated] Fix flavor for cloudera manager
    
       Cloudera manager need master-node flavor
    
     * [added] Expand Nova API benchmark in Rally
    
       Add support for listing nova hosts, agents, availability-zones
       and aggregates.
    
     * [updated] Make sure VolumeGenerator uses the api version info while cleanup
    
     * Designate V2 - Add recordset scenarios
    
       Add create_and_(list|delete)_recordset scenarios
       Remove the test also that checks the allowed methods, this is in order for
       us to be able to have a private method _walk_pages that will do fetching of
       pages for us vs attempting to fetch 1 giant list at once.
    
     * unify *_kwargs name in scenarios
    
       When running a scenario, `kwargs` is used as default key-word arguments.
       But in some scenarios, there are more and one services being called, and
       we use xxx_kwargs for this case.
    
       However, some xxx_kwargs are not unifed for same usage[0]. Unifying
       these could avoid midleading for end users. Another improvement is to
       add xxx_kwargs with empty settings for scenario config files.
    
       [0] http://paste.openstack.org/show/489505/
    
     * .. warning:: Deprecated arguments 'script' and 'interpreter' were removed
         in favor of 'command' argument.
    
       VM task scenarios executes a script with a interpreter provided through a
       formatted argument called 'command' which expects the remote_path or
       local_path of the script and optionally an interpreter with which the
       script has to be executed.
    
    Miscellaneous
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * Avoid using `len(x)` to check if x is empty
    
      This cases are using `len()` to check if collection has items. As
      collections have a boolean representation too, directly check for true /
      false. And fix the wrong mock in its unit test.
    
    * Fix install_rally.sh to get it to work on MacOSX
    
      On MacOSX, `mktemp` requires being passed a template. This change modifies
      the calls to `mktemp` to explicitly pass a template so that the code works
      on both MacOSX and linux.
    
    * Use new-style Python classes
    
      There are some classes in the code that didn't inherited from
      nothing and this is an old-style classes. A "New Class" is the
      recommended way to create a class in modern Python.A "New Class"
      should always inherit from `object` or another new-style class.
    
      Hacking rule added as well.
    
    * Make Rally cope with unversioned keystone URL
    
      With the change, the client version that's returned is now determined by
      the keystoneclient library itself based on whether you supply a URL with a
      version in it or not.
    
    * Fix rally-mos job to work with mos-8.0
    
      Also remove hardcoded values for some other jobs.
    
    * Add name() to ResourceManager
    
      This will allow us to perform cleanup based on the name.
    
    * Add task_id argument to name_matches_object
    
      This will be used to ensure that we are only deleting resources for a
      particular Rally task.
    
    * Extend api.Task.get_detailed
    
      Extend api.Task.get_detailed with ability to return task data as dict with
      extended results.
    
    Bug fixes
    ~~~~~~~~~
    
    **The most critical fixed bugs are**:
    
    * #1547624: Wrong configuration for baremetal(ironic) tempest tests
    
    * #1536800: openrc values are not quoted
    
      The openrc file created after rally deployment --fromenv did not quote the
      values for environment variables that will be exported.
    
    * #1509027: Heat delete_stack never exits if status is DELETE_FAILED
    
    * #1540545: Refactored atomic action in authenticate scenario
    
    * #1469897: Incompatible with Keystone v3 argument in service create scenario
    
    * #1550262: Different results in ``rally task detailed``, ``rally task report``
     and ``rally task status`` commands.
    
    * #1553024: Backward incompatible change in neutronclient(release 4.1.0) broke
      Tempest config generation to support latest neutronclient.
    
    Documentation
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * Add documentation for DB migration
    
      Changes:
        * Add descriptive docstrings for plugins based on OutputChart
        * Register these plugins in doc/ext/plugin_reference.py
          so plugin/plugin_reference.htmlwill have a documentation
          chapter based on added docstrings
    
    * Documentation tox fix
    
      Added information about debugging unit test with tox. Replace 3 references
      to py26 with py34 to reflect current rally tox configuration.
    
    * Change structure of rally plugin and plugin references page
    
    * Update the scenario development, runner and context sections
    
    * The design of 'Rally Plugins Reference' page was improved (see
      `http://docs.openstack.org/developer/rally/plugin/plugin_reference.html`_
      with new design)
    
    * New page was added - CLI references
    
      `http://docs.openstack.org/developer/rally/cli/cli_reference.html`_

    Details
    -------
    
    This release, as well as all previous ones, includes a lot of internal and
    external changes. Most important of them are listed below.
    
    .. warning:: In this release Rally DB schema migration is introduced. While
        upgrading Rally from previous versions it is required now to run
        ``rally-manade db upgrade``. Please see 'Documentation' section for details.
    
    CLI changes
    ~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * [Removed] ``rally info`` in favor of ``rally plugin *``.
      It was deprecated for a long time.
    
    * [Modified] ``rally deployment check`` now prints services, which don't have
      names, since such services can be used via api_versions context.
    
    * [Modified] ``rally verify [re]install``  option --no-tempest-venv for was
      deprecated in favor of --system-wide
    
    * [Added] ``rally-manage db revision`` displays current revision of
      Rally database schema
    
    * [Added] ``rally-manage db upgrade`` upgrades pre-existing Rally
      database schema to the latest revision
    
    * [Added] ``rally-manage db downgrade`` to downgrades existing Rally
      database schema to previous revision
    
    * [Added] ``rally task export`` exports task results to external
      services (only CLI command introduced, no real service support
      implemented yet, however one could write own plugins)
    
    * [Added] ``rally verify export`` exports verification results to
      external services (only CLI command introduced, no real service support
      implemented yet, however one could write own plugins)
    
    Rally Deployment
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * ``fuel`` deployment engine is removed since it was outdated and lacked
      both usage and support
    
    Rally Task
    ~~~~~~~~~~
    
    Add custom labels for "Scenario Output" charts
    
    * X-axis label can be specified to add_output() by
      "axis_label" key of chart options dict.
      The key is named "axis_label" but not "x_label"
      because chart can be displayed as table, so we explicitly
      mention "axis" in option name to make this parameter
      useless for tables
    
    * Y-axis label can be specified to add_output() by
      "label" key of chart options dict
      In some cases this parameter can be used for rendering
      tables - it becomes column name in case if chart with
      single iteration is transformed into table
    
    * As mentiones above, if we have output chart
      with single iteration, then it is transformed to table,
      because chart with single value is useless
    
    * OutputLinesChart is added, it is displayed by
      NVD3 lineChart()
    
    * Chart "description" is optional now. Description is
      not shown if it is not specified explicitly
    
    * Scenario Dummy.add_output is improved to display labels
      and OutputLinesChart
    
    * Fix: If Y-values are too long and overlaps chart box,
      then JavaScript updates chart width in runtime to fit
      width of chart graphs + Y values to their DOM container
    
    Rally Certification
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
     None.

    * Cinder version 2 is used by default
    
    * Keystone API v3 compatibility improved
      - Auth URL in both formats http://foo.rally:5000/v3

    Bug fixes
    ~~~~~~~~~
    
    **7 bugs were fixed**:
    
    * #1540563: Rally is incompatible with liberty Neutron client
    
      The root cause is that in Neutron Liberty client,
      the _fx function doesn't take any explicit keyword parameter
      but Rally is passing one (tenant_id).
    
    * #1543414: The `rally verify start` command fails when running
      a verification against Kilo OpenStack

    Details
    -------
    
    This release contains new features, new benchmark plugins, bug fixes,
    various code and API improvements.
    
    New Features
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * rally task start **--abort-on-sla-failure**
    
        Stopping load before things go wrong.
        Load generation will be interrupted if SLA criteria stop passing.
    
    * Rally verify command supports multiple Tempest sources now.
    
    * python34 support
    
    * postgres DB backend support
    
    API changes
    ~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * [new] **rally [deployment | verify | task] use** subcommand
    
        It should be used instead of root command **rally use**
    
    * [new] Rally as a Lib API
    
        To avoid code duplication between Rally as CLI tool and Rally as a Service
        we decide to make Rally as a Lib as a common part between these 2 modes.
    
        Rally as a Service will be a daemon that just maps HTTP request to Rally
        as a Lib API.
    
    * [deprecated] **rally use** CLI command
    
    * [deprecated] Old Rally as a Lib API
    
        Old Rally API was quite mixed up so we decide to deprecate it
    
    Plugins
    ~~~~~~~
    
    * **Benchmark Scenario Runners**:
    
        [improved] Improved algorithm of generation load in **constant runner**
    
            Before we used processes to generate load, now it creates pool of
            processes (amount of processes is equal to CPU count) after that in
            each process use threads to generate load. So now you can easily
            generate load of 1k concurrent scenarios.
    
        [improved] Unify code of **constant** and **rps** runners
    
        [interface] Added **abort()** to runner's plugin interface
    
            New method **abort()** is used to immediately interrupt execution.
    
    * **Benchmark Scenarios**:
    
        [new] DesignateBasic.create_and_delete_server
    
        [new] DesignateBasic.create_and_list_servers
    
        [new] DesignateBasic.list_servers
    
        [new] MistralWorkbooks.list_workbooks
    
        [new] MistralWorkbooks.create_workbook
    
        [new] Quotas.neutron_update
    
        [new] HeatStacks.create_update_delete_stack
    
        [new] HeatStacks.list_stacks_and_resources
    
        [new] HeatStacks.create_suspend_resume_delete_stac
    
        [new] HeatStacks.create_check_delete_stack
    
        [new] NeutronNetworks.create_and_delete_routers
    
        [new] NovaKeypair.create_and_delete_keypair
    
        [new] NovaKeypair.create_and_list_keypairs
    
        [new] NovaKeypair.boot_and_delete_server_with_keypair
    
        [new] NovaServers.boot_server_from_volume_and_live_migrate
    
        [new] NovaServers.boot_server_attach_created_volume_and_live_migrate
    
        [new] CinderVolumes.create_and_upload_volume_to_image
    
        [fix] CinderVolumes.create_and_attach_volume
    
            Pass optional \*\*kwargs only to create server command
    
        [fix]  GlanceImages.create_image_and_boot_instances
    
            Pass optional \*\*kwargs only to create server command
    
        [fix] TempestScenario.\* removed stress cleanup.
    
            Major issue is that tempest stress cleanup cleans whole OpenStack.
            This is very dangerous, so it's better to remove it and leave some
            extra resources.
    
        [improved] NovaSecGroup.boot_and_delete_server_with_secgroups
    
            Add optional \*\*kwargs that are passed to boot server comment
    
    * **Benchmark Context**:
    
        [new] **stacks**
    
            Generates passed amount of heat stacks for all tenants.
    
        [new] **custom_image**
    
            Prepares images for benchmarks in VMs.
    
            To Support generating workloads in VMs by existing tools like: IPerf,
            Blogbench, HPCC and others we have to have prepared images, with
            already installed and configured tools.
    
            Rally team decide to generate such images on fly from passed to avoid
            requirements of having big repository with a lot of images.
    
            This context is abstract context that allows to automate next steps:
    
            1) runs VM with passed image (with floating ip and other stuff)
            2) execute abstract method that has access to VM
            3) snapshot this image
    
            In future we are going to use this as a base for making context that
            prepares images.
    
        [improved] **allow_ssh**
    
            Automatically disable it if security group are disabled in neutron.
    
        [improved] **keypair**
    
            Key pairs are stored in "users" space it means that accessing keypair
            from scenario is simpler now:
    
                self.context["user"]["keypair"]["private"]
    
        [fix] **users**
    
            Pass proper EndpointType for newly created users
    
        [fix] **sahara_edp**
    
            The Job Binaries data should be treated as a binary content
    
    * **Benchmark SLA**:
    
        [interface] SLA calculations is done in additive way now
    
            Resolves scale issues, because now we don't need to have whole
            array of iterations in memory to process SLA.
    
            This is required to implement **--abort-on-sla-failure** feature
    
        [all] SLA plugins were rewritten to implement new interface
    
    Bug fixes
    ~~~~~~~~~
    
    **18 bugs were fixed, the most critical are**:
    
    * Fix **rally task detailed --iterations-data**
    
      It didn't work in case of missing atomic actions. Such situation can occur
      if scenario method raises exceptions
    
    * Add user-friendly message if the task cannot be deleted
    
      In case of trying to delete task that is not in "finished" status users get
      traces instead of user-friendly message try to run it with --force key.
    
    * Network context cleanups networks properly now
    
    Documentation
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    * Image sizes are fixed
    
    * New tutorial in "Step by Step" relate to **--abort-on-sla-failure**
    
    * Various fixes
