--- prelude: > Several in-tree documentation updates exist in newton-1. An important bug 1570789 that will handle 4 byte unicode chars for metadefs APIs is fixed which will prevent 500s on the same. Deprecated sign-the-hash approach for image signing and old run_tests and related scripts have been removed. upgrade: - The image signature verification feature has been updated to follow the "sign-the-data" approach, which uses a signature of the image data directly. The prior deprecated "sign-the-hash" approach, which uses a signature of an MD5 hash of the image data, has been removed. security: - The initial implementation of the image signature verification feature in Glance was insecure, because it relied on an MD5 hash of the image data. More details can be found in bug 1516031. This "sign-the-hash" approach was deprecated in Mitaka, and removed in newton-1.
