features:
- |
Added a new object versioning mode, with APIs for querying and
accessing old versions. For more information, see `the documentation
<https://docs.openstack.org/swift/latest/middleware.html#module-swift.common.middleware.versioned_writes.object_versioning>`__.
- |
Added support for S3 versioning using the above new mode.
- |
Added a new middleware to allow accounts and containers to opt-in to
RFC-compliant ETags. For more information, see `the documentation
<https://docs.openstack.org/swift/latest/middleware.html#module-swift.common.middleware.etag_quoter>`__.
Clients should be aware of the fact that ETags may be quoted for RFC
compliance; this may become the default behavior in some future release.
- |
Proxy, account, container, and object servers now support "seamless
reloads" via ``SIGUSR1``. This is similar to the existing graceful
restarts but keeps the server socket open the whole time, reducing
service downtime.
- |
New buckets created via the S3 API will now store multi-part upload
data in the same storage policy as other data rather than the
cluster's default storage policy.
- |
Device region and zone can now be changed via ``swift-ring-builder``.
Note that this may cause a lot of data movement on the next rebalance
as the builder tries to reach full dispersion.
- |
Added support for Python 3.8.
deprecations:
- |
Per-service ``auto_create_account_prefix`` settings are now deprecated
and may be ignored in a future release; if you need to use this, please
set it in the ``[swift-constraints]`` section of ``/etc/swift/swift.conf``.
fixes:
- |
The container sharder can now handle containers with special
characters in their names.
- |
Internal client no longer logs object DELETEs as status 499.
- |
Objects with an ``X-Delete-At`` value in the far future no longer cause
backend server errors.
- |
The bulk extract middleware once again allows clients to specify metadata
(including expiration timestamps) for all objects in the archive.
- |
Container sync now synchronizes static symlinks in a way similar to
static large objects.
- |
``swift_source`` is set for more sub-requests in the proxy-server. See
`the documentation <https://docs.openstack.org/swift/latest/logs.html#swift-source>`__.
- |
Errors encountered while validating static symlink targets no longer
cause ``BadResponseLength`` errors in the proxy-server.
- |
On Python 3, the KMS keymaster now works with secrets stored
in Barbican with a ``text/plain`` payload-content-type.
- |
On Python 3, the formpost middleware now works with unicode file names.
- |
On Python 3, certain S3 API headers are now lower case as they
would be coming from AWS.
- |
Several utility scripts now work better on Python 3:
* ``swift-account-audit``
* ``swift-dispersion-populate``
* ``swift-drive-recon``
* ``swift-recon``
