2.8.0
^^^^^


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

* Support for python2 in ironic-python-agent was dropped in the
  Ussuri release however it was still possible to build (non-
  functional) python2 images for CentOS 7. This python2 support is now
  dropped from the image build also. As part of this change, the *pip-
  and- virtualenv* element is not longer a dependency, so any custom
  elements which depend on this element will need to either include it
  explicitly or migrate to the recommended *ensure-venv* element.


Bug Fixes
*********

* Fixes issues with ramdisks potentially crashing when starting due
  to systemd attempting to access a random number generator before
  udevd has been launched. Depending on the mode of operation and
  underlying and configuration, i.e. in FIPS mode, the system could
  have crashed as a result. We will now always create the character
  devices devices, which can be used early in the boot sequence.


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

* The pre-built images now use CentOS Stream 8 instead of CentOS 8.
