+upgrade:
+  - |
+    The default value for the API configuration option ``workers`` was
+    previously the number of CPUs available.  It has been changed to be
+    the min of {number of CPUs, 8}.  Any value set for that option, of
+    course, is honored.  See Bug 1748916_ for details.
+
+  - |
+    Some configuration is required in order to make the Interoperable
+    Image Import functionality work correctly.  In particular, the
+    ``node_staging_uri`` value in the glance-api.conf file must be
+    set.  See the section on Interoperable Image Import in the `Glance
+    Administration Guide`_ for more information.
+
+other:
+  - |
+    The Interoperable Image Import section of the `Image Service API v2
+    Reference Guide`_ was updated to include the new ``web-download``
+    import method.
+
+  - |
+    The section on Interoperable Image Import in the `Glance Administration
+    Guide`_ has been updated.  Please see that section of the Guide for
+    information about the configuration required to make the import
+    functionality work correctly.
+
+  - |
+    The Database Management sections of the `Glance Administration Guide`_
+    have been revised and updated.  This includes information about the
+    current experimental status of rolling upgrades and zero-downtime
+    database upgrades.

+
+security:
+  - |
+    The ``web-download`` import-method, intended to be a replacement for
+    the popular Image Service API v1 "copy-from" functionality, is configurable
+    so that you can avoid the vulnerabilty described in `OSSN-0078`_.  See
+    the Interoperable Image Import section of the `Glance Administration
+    Guide`_ for details.

+
+deprecations:
+  - |
+    With the introduction of the ``web-download`` import method, we consider
+    the Image Service v2 API to have reached feature parity with the DEPRECATED
+    v1 API in all important respects.  Support for the Image Service API v1
+    ends with the Queens release.  The `v1 API was deprecated in Newton`_ and
+    will be removed from the codebase at the beginning of the Rocky development
+    cycle.  Please plan appropriately.
