8.0.0
^^^^^


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

* Adds a burn-in cleaning step 'burnin_cpu' to stress test CPUs for
  a configurable amount of time with stress-ng. To use this step,
  stress-ng needs to be installed on the RAM disk.

* Adds a burn-in cleaning step 'burnin_memory' to stress test memory
  for a configurable amount of time with stress-ng. To use this step,
  stress-ng needs to be installed on the RAM disk.


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

* Removes support for the "iscsi" deploy interface. Please use a
  ramdisk from the Wallaby cycle if you need it.


Bug Fixes
*********

* Fixes initial logging before configuration is loaded to re-log
  anything recorded for the purposes of troubleshooting. This is
  necessary as systemd does not report stdout from a process launch as
  part of the process's logging. Now messages will be re-logged once
  the configuration has been loaded.

* The command params no longer appear in the command results. See
  story 2008904 (https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2008904)
  for details.

* Fixes fall-back to sysrq when powering off or rebooting the node
  from inside a container.

* Fixes an error with UEFI based deployments where using a partition
  image a NVMe device was previously failing due to the different
  device name pattern.

* Fixes failures with disk image conversions which result in memory
  allocation or input/output errors due to memory limitations by
  limiting the number of available memory allocation pools to a non-
  dynamic reasonable number which should not exceed the available
  system memory.

* The lshw package version B.02.19.2-5 on CentOS 8.4 and 8.5
  contains a bug (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1955250)
  that prevents the size of individual memory banks from being
  reported, with the result that the total memory size would be
  reported as 0 in some places. The total memory size is now taken
  from lshw's total memory size output (which does not suffer from the
  same problem) when available.

* No longer crashes if MAC address cannot be determined for one of
  the network interfaces.

* Permits out-of-order writes when converting whole disk images to
  improve performance.

* Mirrors the previously disconnected EFI system partitions (ESPs)
  in UEFI software RAID setups. Disconnected ESPs can lead to nodes
  booting with outdated kernel parameters or the UEFI firmware not
  finding bootable kernels at all.

* Adds a call to "udevadm settle" in write_image.sh. After GPT and
  MBR are destroyed systemd-udevd gets triggered which may hold
  /dev/sda open preventing qemu-img from writing its image.


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

* The API call "prepare_image" and the deploy step "write_image"
  will now expect configdrive to be passed as an explicit argument
  rather than through "image_info".
