6.3.0
^^^^^


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

* The new kernel parameter "ipa-advertise-protocol" can be used to
  change the protocol of the callback URL to "https".

* The "deploy.erase_devices_metadata" clean step can now also be
  used as a deploy step.

* Introspection of PCI devices now collects PCI class, revision and
  PCI bus.

* Adds a Poll extension which provides the ability to retrieve
  hardware information as well as set node data from API. This feature
  is required for poll mode deployment driven by ironic.


Bug Fixes
*********

* Fixes the return value of the "apply_configuration" deploy step:
  the "agent" RAID interface expects the final RAID configuration to
  be returned.

* Fixes an issue where the bootloader installation can fail on a
  software RAID volume when no root_device hint is set. See Story
  2007905 (https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2007905)

* Fixes retry logic issues with the Agent Lookup which can result in
  the lookup failing prematurely before being completed, typically
  resulting in an abrupt end to the agent logging and potentially
  weird errors like TypeError being reported on the agent process
  standard error output. For more information see bug 2007968
  (https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2007968).

* Fixes an issue with the ironic-python-agent where we would call to
  setup the bootloader, which is necessary with software raid, but
  also attempt to clean up iSCSI. This can cause issues when using the
  "direct" "deploy_interface". Now the agent will only clean up iSCSI
  connections if iSCSI was explicitly started. For more information,
  please see story 2007937
  (https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2007937).

* Devices with size 0 are now ignored when collecting inventory.
  Some hardware represents virtual floppy devices this way, see e.g.

  disable-iDRAC-Virtual-CD/td-p/4734424
