Horizon 8.0.0 "Liberty"
Note
OpenStack moved to semver during this release cycle. The previous release was 2015.1 "Kilo".
Key New Features
- A new network topology - The network topology diagram has been replaced with an interactive graph containing collapsible networks, and scales far better in large deployments (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/curvature-network-topology).
- Plugin improvements - Horizon auto discovers JavaScript files for inclusion, and now has mechanisms for pluggable SCSS and Django template overrides.
- Compute (Nova)
- Support for shelving and unshelving of instances (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/horizon-shelving-command).
- Support for v2 block device mapping, falling back to v1 when unavailable (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/horizon-block-device-mapping-v2).
- Networking (Neutron)
- Added support for subnet allocation via subnet pools (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/neutron-subnet-allocation).
- Added actions to easily associate LBaaS VIP with a floating IP (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/lbaas-vip-fip-associate).
- Images (Glance)
- The metadata editor has been updated with AngularJS (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/angularize-metadata-update-modals).
- Compute images metadata can now be edited from the Project dashboard, using the new metadata editor (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/project-images-metadata).
- Block Storage (Cinder)
- Enabled support for migrating volumes (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/volume-migration).
- Volume types can be now edited, and include description fields (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/volume-type-description).
- Orchestration (Heat)
- Improvements to the heat topology, making more resources identifiable where previously they had no icons and were displayed as unknown resources (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/heat-topology-display-improvement).
- Data Processing (Sahara)
- Unified job interface map. This is a human readable method for passing in configuration data that a job may require or accept (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/unified-job-interface-map-ui).
- Added editing capabilities for job binaries (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/allow-editing-of-job-binaries).
- Added editing capabilities for data sources (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/allow-editing-of-data-sources).
- Added editing capabilities for job templates (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/data-processing-edit-templates).
- Exposed event log for clusters (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/sahara-event-log).
- Added support for shell job types (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/sahara-shell-action-form).
- Databases (Trove)
- Added initial support for database cluster creation and management. Vertica and MongoDB are currently supported (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/database-clustering-support).
- Identity (Keystone)
- Added mapping for Identity Provider and Protocol specific WebSSO (https://github.com/openstack/horizon/commit/3b4021c0ad0e8d7b10aa8c2dcd8c13a5717c450c).
- Configurable token hashing (https://github.com/openstack/django_openstack_auth/commit/ece924a79d27ede1a8475d7f98e6d66bc3cffd6c and https://github.com/openstack/horizon/commit/48e651d05cbe9366884868c5331d49a501945adc).
- Horizon (internal improvements)
- Full support for translation in AngularJS, along with simpler tooling (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/angular-translate-makemessages).
- Added Karma for JavaScript testing (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/karma).
- Added ESLint for JavaScript linting, using the eslint-config-openstack rules (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/jscs-cleanup).
- Horizon now supports overriding of existing Django templates (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/horizon-theme-templates).
- JavaScript files are now automatically included (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/auto-js-file-finding).
Upgrade Notes
- Django 1.8 is now supported, and Django 1.7 is our minimum supported version (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/drop-django14-support).
- Database-backed sessions will likely not persist across upgrades due to a change in their structure (https://github.com/openstack/django_openstack_auth/commit/8c64de92f4148d85704b10ea1f7bc441db2ddfee and https://github.com/openstack/horizon/commit/ee2771ab1a855342089abe5206fc6a5071a6d99e).
- Horizon no longer uses QUnit in testing, and it has been removed from our requirements (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/replace-qunit-tests-with-jasmine).
- Horizon now has multiple configuration options for the default web
URL (
WEBROOT
), static file location (STATIC_ROOT
) and static file URL (STATIC_URL
) in its settings files. - Themes have moved location from
openstack_dashboard/static/themes
, toopenstack_dashboard/themes
. Paths may need to be updated accordingly. Furthermore, Horizon is aligning closer with Bootstrap markup, and themes should be built around this ideology; see the top bar and side navigation for details. - The deprecated
OPENSTACK_QUANTUM_NETWORK
configuration option has been removed. If you still use it, you need to replace it withOPENSTACK_NEUTRON_NETWORK
. - There is now an
OPENSTACK_NOVA_EXTENSIONS_BLACKLIST
option in the settings, to disable selected extensions for performance reasons (https://github.com/openstack/horizon/commit/18f4b752b8653c9389f8b0471eccaa0659707ebe). - Trove and Sahara panels now reside in
openstack_dashboard/contrib
. This is to provide separation for reviews provided mostly by the service teams. In the future, these panels may become plugins rather than being kept in Horizon (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/plugin-sanity). - Horizon requires both a
volume
andvolumev2
endpoint for Cinder, even if only using v2.
