An **EXPERIMENTAL** version of the Images API supplied by Glance
is introduced as **2.6**. It includes the new API calls introduced
for the `refactored image import`_ functionality. This functionality
is **not** enabled by default, so the CURRENT version of the Images
API remains at 2.5. There are no changes to the version 2.5 API in
this release, so all version 2.5 calls will work whether or not the
new import functionality is enabled or not.
The version 2.6 API is being introduced as EXPERIMENTAL because it
is a Minimal Viable Product delivery of the functionality described
in the `refactored image import`_ specification. As an MVP, the
responses described in that specification are abbreviated in version
2.6. It is expected that version 2.6 will be completed in Queens,
but at this time, we encourage operators to try out the new
functionality, but keep in mind its EXPERIMENTAL nature.
