8.5.0
^^^^^


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

* Adds support for express cleaning mode where hardware-assisted,
  fast and secure data erasure is performed on NVMe devices that
  support it, while other devices fall back to erase_devices_metadata.
  The goal of this feature is to enable express node cleaning in
  environments with hybrid storage configuration (e.g. NVMe + HDD).


Bug Fixes
*********

* In case the CSV file used for the bootloader hint does not have
  BOM we fail reading its content as utf-16 codec is too generic. Fail
  over to utf-16-le as Little Endian is mostly used.

* Fixes handling of a Partition UUID being returned instead of a
  Partition's UUID when the OS may not return the Partition's UUID in
  time. These two fields are typically referred to as PARTUUID and
  UUID, respectively. Often these sorts of issues arise under heavy IO
  load. We now scan, and identify which "UUID" we identified, and
  update a Linux fstab entry appropriately. For more information,
  please see story #2009881
  (https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2009881).

* Adds device rescan operation after partitioning the root device to
  ensure that updated UUIDs are reflected correctly
