Hey,

We're still hoping to releasing 2012.2.1 on Thursday.

We've had a huge amount of activity in the last week, so we would really
appreciate all efforts to test the latest tarballs. The current "bugs
fixed" tallies are:

   79 nova
   33 quantum
   11 glance
    7 keystone
    3 cinder
    1 horizon
  134 total

Things to note:

  * It looks like there might be a regression on stable/folsom with 
    ceph/rbd:

      https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1083818

    Adam Gandelman and Josh Durgin are chasing it.

  * There's a very serious known issue with the image cache cleanup 
    code when you're using shared storage:

      https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1078594

    The fix is invasive and risky, but there's a known workaround (i.e. 
    disable the image cache manager) which Vish has documented in the 
    release notes.

    We may just disable the image cache manager by default for the 
    release.

  * The Quantum linuxbridge plugin fix which allows us to move away from
    using libvirt's type="ethernet" has been merged, but it isn't 
    really useful without the corresponding change to the Nova VIF 
    driver.

       https://review.openstack.org/16223

    Given the limited number of users affected, maybe we can consider
    merging the Nova change before the release too.

    One detail here is that if we merge the Nova VIF change, we would 
    need to warn users to update Quantum before Nova. 

  * Please add stuff to the release notes as it occurs to you:

Cheers,
Mark.
