26.2.0
^^^^^^


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

* Implemented variable "lxc_image_cache_expiration" that controlls
  for how long cached LXC image will be valid. Default value is
  *1year*. Variable format should be compatible with
  community.general.to_time_unit filter.

* Adds optional compression for backups created with mariabackup.
  Adds two new CLI parameters to the mariabackup script that are used
  to enable compression and to choose a compression tool.

  * "--compress=True|False"

  * "--compressor=<compressor>"

  Also introduces new Ansible variables that control the above
  mentioned parameters.

  * "galera_mariadb_backups_compress"

  * "galera_mariadb_backups_compressor"

  Each backup archive is stored in a dedicated directory, alongside
  the backup metadata.


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

* CentOS/Rocky linux deployments will get major update of OVS
  version from 2.17 to 3.1 and OVN from 22.12 to 23.03. RDO has
  stopped building packages for previous OVS/OVN versions which means
  they will not recieve any upstream bugfixes or security patches.

  If you still want to preserve old versions of OVS/OVN, you can
  define a following variable:

     openstack_hosts_package_repos:
       - name: rdo-deps
         file: rdo-deps
         description: rdo-deps
         baseurl: "{{ openstack_hosts_rdo_deps_url }}"
         gpgcheck: no
         module_hotfixes: yes
         exclude:
           - '*rdo-openvswitch*3.1*'
           - '*rdo-ovn*3.1*'

* Backup compression is disabled by default, so no changes need to
  be made for existing deployments. Should compression be desired, set
  "galera_mariadb_backups_compress" to "True". Choose a compression
  tool with "galera_mariadb_backups_compressor", default is "gzip".


Bug Fixes
*********

* LXC image cache expiration mechanism has being fixed. Previously
  LXC images were valid forever.
