== Highlights ==

* OpenStack Xena
OpenStack Xena is now supported on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (via UCA) and Ubuntu 21.10 natively.

* Cinder storage backend charms
Two stable charms are now available that provide LVM and NetApp storage backends for Cinder. The new charms are cinder-lvm and cinder-netapp respectively. The cinder-lvm charm deprecates the LVM functionality of the cinder charm. A migration path is available.

* Cloud operational improvements
Improvements have been implemented at the operational level through the addition of many actions and configuration options to the current set of stable charms.

* Tech-preview charms
Two tech-preview charms are now available. The ceph-dashboard charm deploys the Ceph Dashboard and the openstack-loadbalancer charm deploys a load balancer for OpenStack applications that support the charm.

* Documentation updates
Ongoing improvements to the OpenStack Charms Deployment Guide, the OpenStack Charm Guide, and the charm READMEs.
