5.0.2
^^^^^

Bug Fixes

* Fixes an issue with deployment ramdisks running in UEFI boot mode
  where dual-boot images may cause the logic to prematurely exit
  before UEFI parameters can be updated. Internal checks for a BIOS
  bootloader will always return "False" now when the machine is in
  UEFI mode.

* Fixes error handling if efibootmgr is not present in ramdisk. See
  story (https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2007324) for more
  details.

* Provides timeout and retries when establishing a connection to
  download an image in the "standby" extension. Reduces probability of
  an image download getting stuck in the event of network problems.

  The default timeout is 60 seconds and can be set via the "ipa-image-
  download-connection-timeout" kernel parameter. The default number of
  retries is 2 and can be set via the "ipa-image-download-connection-
  retries" parameter.

* Fixes an issue where the agent was failing to rescan the device
  deployed upon before checking uefi contents. This would occur with
  an iSCSI based deployment, as partition management operations are
  performed by the conductor, and not locally.

* No longer tries to use GRUB2 for configuring boot for whole disk
  images with an EFI partition present but only marked as "boot" (not
  "esp").
