This was a quiet development cycle for the python-glanceclient.
|
|
There were several improvements made in the testing code, and the
|
|
documentation was reorganized in accord with the `new standard
|
|
layout
|
|
<http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/docs-specs/specs/pike/os-manuals-migration.html>`_
|
|
for OpenStack projects.
|
|
|
|
The main feature in this release is the addition of support for the
|
|
new image import functionality introduced into Glance during this
|
|
cycle.
|
|
features:
|
|
- |
|
|
Client support has been added for the new image import functionality
|
|
introduced into Glance in this cycle. This is a feature of the Images
|
|
API version 2 only, and it is disabled by default in Glance. The following
|
|
commands have been added to the command line interface:
|
|
|
|
* ``import-info`` - gets information about the import configuration of
|
|
the target Glance
|
|
* ``image-stage`` - uploads image data to the staging area
|
|
* ``image-import`` - initiates the import process for a previously
|
|
created image record whose image data is currently in the staging area
|
|
* ``image-create-via-import`` - this is an EXPERIMENTAL command that compresses
|
|
the three-step import process of the Images API version 2 into a single call
|
|
from the command line, just as the current client ``image-create`` command
|
|
compresses a two-step process into one step. *It is EXPERIMENTAL because the
|
|
name of the command may change or it may be removed entirely in future
|
|
releases.* The intent is that as Glance image import is adopted by deployers,
|
|
this command may be renamed to ``image-create`` as it behaves exactly the same
|
|
from the user's point of view. It is included in this release so that the
|
|
Glance team can get feedback from deployers and end users.
|
|
|
|
fixes:
|
|
- |
|
|
The following are some highlights of the bug fixes included in this
|
|
release.
|
|
|
|
* Bug 1659010_: Help text inaccurate for container_format, disk_format
|
|
* Bug 1570766_: Fix 'UnicodeEncodeError' for unicode values in url
|
|
* Bug 1583919_: --no-ssl-compression is deprecated

|
|
|
|
other:
|
|
- |
|
|
The deprecated ``--no-ssl-compression`` option to the python-glanceclient
|
|
command line interface has been removed_. The option has been inoperative_
|
|
since the Liberty release.
|
|
|
|
- |
|
|
An optimization_ was added in the case where an image download is requested
|
|
from the command line interface without specifying either a filename
|
|
destination for the data or output redirection. The optimization properly
|
|
delays opening a connection to the server until *after* the CLI has
|
|
verified that the user has specified a location for the downloaded data.
|
|
In the pre-optimized code, if a user did not have permission to download
|
|
the requested image or if the image had no data associated with it, the CLI
|
|
would fail with an appropriate message when the client attempted to create
|
|
the connection but before it had determined that there was no place to put
|
|
the data. With this optimization, a user will not be able to "probe" the
|
|
server to see whether image data is available without specifying either the
|
|
``--file`` option or command line redirection.
|
|
|
|
- |
|
|
The argument to the ``--profile`` option of the command line interface
|
|
may now be specified_ by setting the value of the ``OS_PROFILE`` environment
|
|
variable.
