--- features: - The scheduler was improved to select and weigh compatible back ends when creating shares from snapshots. This change only affects the existing behavior if the option ``use_scheduler_creating_share_from_snapshot`` is enabled. - A new share status `creating_from_snapshot` was added to inform the user that a share creation from snapshot is in progress and may take some time to be concluded. In order to quantify the share creation progress a new field called ``progress`` was added to shares and share instances information, to indicate the conclusion percentage of share create operation (0 to 100%). fixes: - The availability zone parameter is now being considered when creating shares from snapshots.
