5.0.0
^^^^^


New Features
************

* Adds support for creating software RAID on NVMe drives.


Upgrade Notes
*************

* Images based on CoreOS are no longer supported and built. They
  were deprecated in the Stein cycle and an alternative based on
  diskimage- builder is being developed.


Bug Fixes
*********

* Fixes detection of physical memory amount on AArch64 that was
  caused by different output of the "lshw" utility.

* Fixes an issue where md devices disk holders could not be listed
  correctly if they were NVMe drives.

* Fixes cleaning operations when floppy disk devices are present on
  the baremetal node. Floppy disk devices are now explicitly ignored.

* No longer tries to use zRAM devices for anything.

* Fixes size conversion when creating software RAID with "size_gb"
  provided. From the RAID documentation
  (https://docs.openstack.org/ironic/latest/admin/raid.html#target-
  raid-configuration) "size_gb" unit is GiB but parted defaults to MB.

* Fixes creating software RAID when several logical drives have a
  size specified (i.e not 'MAX'). See story 2006352
  (https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2006352).

* Fixes creating software RAID when a logical drive with size 'MAX'
  is not the last in the list of logical drives.

* Zap superblocks from all block devices, as an attempt to erase any
  softraid hint from devices when calling delete_configuration,
  including from drives that are no more members of any raid.

* Tries to assemble software RAID automatically on start up to avoid
  problems with ramdisks that don't do it automatically (like
  tinyipa).


Other Notes
***********

* The default "list_all_block_devices" hardware manager method has
  been changed to ignore floppy disk devices, introducing an argument
  "ignore_floppy" with a default value of "True". A value of "False"
  may be passed to the "list_all_block_devices" method to include such
  devices.
