Newton Series Release Notes¶
6.0.0¶
New Features¶
The 2.37 microversion is now supported. This introduces the following changes:
- CLI: The –nic value for the nova boot command now takes two
special values, ‘auto’ and ‘none’. If –nic is not specified, the CLI defaults to ‘auto’.
- Python API: The nics kwarg is required when creating a server using
the novaclient.v2.servers.ServerManager.create API. The nics value can be a list of dicts or a string with value ‘auto’ or ‘none’.
Upgrade Notes¶
The ability to update the following network-related resources via the
nova quota-updateandnova quota-class-updatecommands is now deprecated:Fixed IPs
Floating IPs
Security Groups
Security Group Rules
By default the quota and limits CLIs will not update or show those resources using microversion >= 2.36. You can still use them, however, by specifying
--os-compute-api-version 2.35. Quota information for network resources should be retrieved from python-neutronclient or python-openstackclient.
With the 2.37 microversion, the nics kwarg is required when creating a server using the novaclient.v2.servers.ServerManager.create API. The nics value can be a list of dicts or an enum string with one of the following values:
auto: This tells the Compute service to automatically allocate a network for the project if one is not available and then associate an IP from that network with the server. This is the same behaviour as passing nics=None before the 2.37 microversion.
none: This tells the Compute service to not allocate any networking for the server.
Deprecation Notes¶
The following commands are now deprecated:
dns-create
dns-create-private-domain
dns-create-public-domain
dns-delete
dns-delete-domain
dns-domains
dns-list
fixed-ip-get
fixed-ip-reserve
fixed-ip-unreserve
floating-ip-create
floating-ip-delete
floating-ip-list
floating-ip-pool-list
floating-ip-bulk-create
floating-ip-bulk-delete
floating-ip-bulk-list
network-create
network-delete
network-disassociate
network-associate-host
network-associate-project
network-list
network-show
scrub
secgroup-create
secgroup-delete
secgroup-list
secgroup-update
secgroup-add-group-rule
secgroup-delete-group-rule
secgroup-add-rule
secgroup-delete-rule
secgroup-list-rules
secgroup-list-default-rules
secgroup-add-default-rule
secgroup-delete-default-rule
tenant-network-create
tenant-network-delete
tenant-network-list
tenant-network-show
With the 2.36 microversion these will fail in the API. The CLI will fallback to passing the 2.35 microversion to ease the transition. Network resource information should be retrieved from python-neutronclient or python-openstackclient.
5.1.0¶
New Features¶
Added microversion v2.33 that adds pagination support for hypervisors with the help of new optional parameters ‘limit’ and ‘marker’ which were added to hypervisor-list command.
Added microversion v2.35 that adds pagination support for keypairs with the help of new optional parameters ‘limit’ and ‘marker’ which were added to keypair-list command.
Upgrade Notes¶
Support for microversion 2.34 added.
The 2.36 microversion deprecated the image proxy API. As such, CLI calls now directly call the image service to get image details, for example, as a convenience to boot a server with an image name rather than the image id. To do this the following is assumed:
There is an image entry in the service catalog.
The image v2 API is available.
The 2.36 microversion deprecated the network proxy APIs in Nova. Because of this we now go directly to neutron for name to net-id lookups. For nova-net deployements the old proxies will continue to be used.
To do this the following is assumed:
There is a network entry in the service catalog.
The network v2 API is available.
5.0.0¶
New Features¶
The 2.32 microverison adds support for virtual device role tagging. Device role tagging is an answer to the question ‘Which device is which?’ from inside the guest. When booting an instance, an optional arbitrary ‘tag’ parameter can be set on virtual network interfaces and/or block device mappings. This tag is exposed to the instance through the metadata API and on the config drive. Each tagged virtual network interface is listed along with information about the virtual hardware, such as bus type (ex: PCI), bus address (ex: 0000:00:02.0), and MAC address. For tagged block devices, the exposed hardware metadata includes the bus (ex: SCSI), bus address (ex: 1:0:2:0) and serial number.
In the client, device tagging is exposed with the ‘tag’ key in the –block-device and –nic boot arguments.
Known Issues¶
While not an issue with the client itself, it should be noted that if a tagged network interface or volume is detached from a guest, its metadata will continue to appear in the config drive, even after instance reboot.
Upgrade Notes¶
Support for microversion 2.31 which fixes a bug in the os-console-auth-tokens API

Deprecation Notes¶
The following CLIs and python API bindings are now deprecated for removal:
nova baremetal-node-list
nova baremetal-node-show
nova baremetal-interface-list
These will be removed in the first major python-novaclient release after the Nova 15.0.0 Ocata release. Use python-ironicclient or python-openstackclient for CLI and python-ironicclient or openstacksdk for python API bindings.
4.1.0¶
Prelude¶
Log ‘x-openstack-request-id’ or ‘x-compute-request-id’ in each API call. If the caller (e.g. heat) uses oslo.log, the caller’s request id in oslo.context and the callee’s request id can be output in the same log message (same line).
New Features¶
Log ‘x-openstack-request-id’ or ‘x-compute-request-id’ in each API call. If the caller (e.g. heat) uses oslo.log, the caller’s request id in oslo.context and the callee’s request id can be output in the same log message (same line).
