This release adds + functionality to enable the creation and use of ``runbooks`` of repeated + steps in ``cleaning`` and ``service`` states. Furthermore, cloud admins + are now able to ``lease`` baremetal nodes to Nova users automatically + through the use of metadata provided by Nova. Firmware updates have + improved capability and ease-of-use on BMCs which manage multiple hosts. + Also users of the ``redfish`` hardware type can now invoke firmware updates + as a ``service`` step. Operators seeking to migrate away from BIOS booting + now have additional options to help enforce migration mandates. + Coupled with numerous bug fixes and other minor enhancements, this release + of Ironic will improve the life of operators for years to come. + We hope you enjoy!
