Release notes are version independent, so remove version/release values. We've found that projects now require the service package to be installed in order to build release notes, and this is entirely due to the current convention of pulling in the version information. Release notes should not need installation in order to build, so this unnecessary version setting needs to be removed. This is needed for new release notes publishing, see I56909152975f731a9d2c21b2825b972195e48ee8 and the discussion starting at http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2017-November/124480.html .

Mistral
Mistral is a workflow service. Most business processes consist of multiple distinct interconnected steps that need to be executed in a particular order in a distributed environment. A user can describe such a process as a set of tasks and their transitions. After that, it is possible to upload such a description to Mistral, which will take care of state management, correct execution order, parallelism, synchronization and high availability.
Mistral also provides flexible task scheduling so that it can run a process according to a specified schedule (for example, every Sunday at 4.00pm) instead of running it immediately. In Mistral terminology such a set of tasks and relations between them is called a workflow.
Mistral client
Python client for Mistral REST API. Includes python library for Mistral API and Command Line Interface (CLI) library.
Installation
First of all, clone the repo and go to the repo directory:
$ git clone git://git.openstack.org/openstack/python-mistralclient.git
$ cd python-mistralclientThen just run:
$ pip install -e .or:
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python setup.py installRunning Mistral client
If Mistral authentication is enabled, provide the information about OpenStack auth to environment variables. Type:
$ export OS_AUTH_URL=http://<Keystone_host>:5000/v2.0
$ export OS_USERNAME=admin
$ export OS_TENANT_NAME=tenant
$ export OS_PASSWORD=secret
$ export OS_MISTRAL_URL=http://<Mistral host>:8989/v2 (optional, by
default URL=http://localhost:8989/v2)and in the case that you are authenticating against keystone over https:
$ export OS_CACERT=<path_to_ca_cert>
Note
In client, we can use both Keystone auth versions - v2.0 and v3. But server supports only v3.*
