We are psyched to announce the release of:

os_vif 1.15.0: A library for plugging and unplugging virtual
interfaces in OpenStack.

This release is part of the stein release series.

1.15.0
^^^^^^


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

* Added native implementation of OVSDB API in "vif_plug_ovs". Both
  "vsctl" and "native" APIs could be selected by setting the
  configuration variable "ovsdb_interface". A new configuration
  variable, "ovsdb_connection", is added. This variable defines the
  connection string for the OVSDB backend.


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

* Changed default value of "ovsdb_connection" to
  "tcp:127.0.0.1:6640", to match the default value set in Neutron
  project. This connection string is needed by OVSDB native interface.

* With this release, packagers of "os-vif" no longer need to create
  a dependency on "brctl". "brctl" is largely considered obsolete and
  has been replaced with iproute2 by default in many linux
  distributions. RHEL 8 will not ship "brctl" in its default repos. As
  part of a larger effort to remove usage of "brctl" from OpenStack
  "os-vif" has replaced its usage of "brctl" with "pyroute2". This
  does not introduce any new requirements as "pyroute2" is already a
  requirement.
