The 2023.2 (Bobcat) release of the OpenStack Charms is now available. Please
see the release notes for full details:
https://docs.openstack.org/charm-guide/latest/release-notes/2023.2-bobcat.html

== Highlights ==

* OpenStack 2023.2 (Bobcat)
OpenStack Bobcat is now supported on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (via UCA) and Ubuntu
23.10 natively.

* Two charms promoted to stable
Both the watcher and watcher-dashboard charms have been promoted to stable.

* Keystone role cache configuration
The keystone charm now supports configuring the Keystone '[role] cache_time'
option using a new 'role-cache-expiration' charm configuration option. If not
set, this defaults to the global expiration_time (configurable by the
'dogpile-cache-expiration' charm configuration option). 

* Designate-bind allow-transfer configuration
The designate-bind charm now supports configuring the BIND9 allow-transfer
option. If not set, the corresponding feature is disabled.

* Improved Vault snap channel refresh
The refresh mechanism for the Vault snap managed within the vault charm has
been improved. It now properly stops the service before performing a snap
refresh. 

* Glance custom image properties
The glance charm now supports configuring automatic custom image properties for
imported images.

* magnum charm: new option to expose cluster_user_trust
The magnum charm has gained a new configuration option (cluster-user-trust) to
control whether to assign a trust to the cluster user or not (upstream
cluster_user_trust option).

* nova-cloud-controller charm: new relation to openstack-dashboard
A new relation informs the cloud of what hosts and IP addresses that can
potentially access the OpenStack Dashboard. The nova-cloud-controller units use
this information to configure the nova-serialproxy daemon to allow dashboard
requests from web browsers.

* Documentation updates
The Charm Guide and the Deploy Guide were updated for OpenStack 2023.2 and Juju
3.x. Regular improvements and bug fixes.
