8.4.0
^^^^^


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

* For network burn-in, nodes can now be paired dynamically via a
  distributed coordination backend (as an alternative to a static
  configuration). This allows burn-in to proceed on a "first come
  first served" basis with the nodes available, rather than a node
  being blocked since the static partner is currently delayed.

  In order to configure this dynamic pairing, the nodes will need at
  least "agent_burnin_fio_network_pairing_backend_url" in their
  "driver_info" (the URL for the coordination backend). In order to
  separate different hardware types, which may be using different
  networks and shall be burnt-in separately, the nodes can in addition
  define "agent_burnin_fio_network_pairing_group_name" to have pairing
  only happening between nodes in the same group. An additional
  parameter "agent_burnin_fio_network_pairing_timeout" allows to limit
  the time given to the nodes to wait for a partner.


Bug Fixes
*********

* Uses "efibootmgr" instead of "grub2-install" for software RAID.
  This fixes an issue with images which include newer versions of
  "grub2-install", such as CentOS Stream 8, as they refuse bootloader
  installations in UEFI boot mode due to the lack of secure boot
  support.
