2026.1 Series Release Notes

25.0.0-11

New Features

• Introduced a new configuration option [DEFAULT]/cinder_client_version with default value set as 3. This allows operators to supply the intended version of Cinder API to interact with.

Bug Fixes

• Logic for fetching Cinder API version has been fixed, and it no longer relies on the [DEFAULT]/cinder_service_type value. This allows to have a cinder_service_type defined as block-storage, or any other name which is not versioned.

25.0.0

New Features

• Allow creating configurations for disabled datastore versions. This improves the user experience by not forcing users with instances based on outdated datastore versions to upgrade.

• Implements deletion of expired running backups. Allows manual deletion of running backups after CONF.running_backups_expires days since creation.

Bug Fixes

• Fixes incorrect root status reporting. root show could report “is_root_enabled”: True after root was disabled; the status now reflects the actual instance state while preserving root_enabled_history logic.

• Fix PostgreSQL guest agent issues for password changes and access control.

  • Fix AttributeError when changing user passwords due to improper deserialization in PgSqlAdmin.change_passwords method.

  • Update grant_access and revoke_access methods to handle PostgreSQL changes:

    • Explicitly grant/revoke schema (public) access for PostgreSQL 14+

    • Revoke CONNECT privilege from PUBLIC to ensure proper revocation

    • Ensure connection is made to specific database for grant/revoke operations in PostgreSQL 16+

• Fixes potential PostgreSQL shared memory exhaustion in mid-size deployments.
