Akihiro Motoki 3aeb73c641 Move past release notes under doc/ to releasenotes/ 
We are now publishing release notes through releasenotes/
(at http://docs.openstack.org/releasenotes/).
On the other hand, we used doc/ for past release notes.
It looks better to merge the past release notes to the new location.

Kilo Series Release Notes

Key New Features

  • Support for Federated authentication via Web Single-Sign-On -- When configured in keystone, the user will be able to choose the authentication mechanism to use from those support by the deployment. This feature must be enabled by changes to local_settings.py to be utilized. The related settings to enable and configure can be found here.
  • Support for Theming -- A simpler mechanism to specify a custom theme for Horizon has been included. Allowing for use of CSS values for Bootstrap and Horizon variables, as well as the inclusion of custom CSS. More details available here
  • Sahara UX Improvements -- Dramatic improvements to the Sahara user experience have been made with the addition of guided cluster creation and guided job creation pages.
  • Launch Instance Wizard (beta) -- A full replacement for the launch instance workflow has been implemented in AngularJS to address usability issues in the existing launch instance workflow. Due to the late inclusion date and limited testing, this feature is marked as beta for Kilo and not enabled by default. To use the new workflow, the following change to local_settings.py is required: LAUNCH_INSTANCE_NG_ENABLED = True. Additionally, you can disable the default launch instance wizard with the following: LAUNCH_INSTANCE_LEGACY_ENABLED = False. This new work is a view into future development in Horizon.
