We are glad to announce the release of:

ironic-python-agent 1.1.0: Ironic Python Agent Ramdisk

This release is part of the mitaka release series.

With package available at:

    https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ironic-python-agent

For more details, please see below.


1.1.0
^^^^^


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

* The CoreOS image builder now uses the latest CoreOS stable version
  when building images.

* IPA now supports Linux-IO as an alternative to tgtd. The iSCSI
  extension will try to use Linux-IO first, and fall back to tgtd if
  Linux-IO is not found or cannot be used.

* Adds support for setting proxy info for downloading images. This
  is controlled by the *proxies* and *no_proxy* keys in the
  *image_info* dict of the *prepare_image* command.

* Adds support for streaming raw images directly onto the disk. This
  avoids writing the image to a tmpfs partition before writing it to
  disk, which also enables using images larger than the usable amount
  of RAM on the machine IPA runs on. Pass *stream_raw_images=True* to
  the *prepare_image* command to enable this; it is disabled by
  default.

* CoreOS image builder now runs IPA in a chroot, instead of a
  container. systemd-nspawn has been adding more security features
  that break several things IPA needs to do (after all, IPA
  manipulates hardware), such as using sysrq triggers or writing to
  /sys.

* Root device hints now also inspect ID_WWN_WITH_EXTENSION and
  ID_WWN_VENDOR_EXTENSION from udev.


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

* Now that IPA runs in a chroot, any operator tooling built around
  the container may need to change (for example, methods of getting a
  shell inside the container).


Bug Fixes
*********

* Raw images larger than available of RAM may now be used by passing
  *stream_raw_images=True* to the *prepare_image* command; these will
  be streamed directly to disk.

* Fixes an issue using the "logs" inspection collector when logs
  contain non-ascii characters.

* Makes tgtd ready status detection more robust.

* Fixes configdrive creation for MBR disks greater than 2TB.


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

* System random is now used where applicable, rather than the
  default python random library.
