+cycle-highlights:
+  - A new share driver has been added to allow provisioning and managing NFS
+    shares with a VAST DATA Storage appliance. Users can also take
+    point-in-time backups of these shares through snapshots.
+  - Users now have the ability to manipulate storage capabilities through share
+    metadata. Cloud operators can determine which capabilities are updatable;
+    and users are notified about the status of the updates through asynchronous
+    user messages.
+  - It is now possible to specify pre-created NetApp ONTAP efficiency policies
+    through the use of the ``netapp:efficiency_policy`` share type extra spec.
+  - The ``manila-manage service list`` command can now provide the response in
+    json and yaml formats.
+  - The NetApp ONTAP driver now supports creating Write Once Read Many (WORM)
+    shares through the use of the NetApp storage SnapLock feature.
+  - Manila now supports scheduling shares on hosts that are currently running
+    and marked as being under maintenance (disabled).
+  - When creating access rules with a deletion lock, the corresponding shares
+    will also be locked to prevent disconnections.
+  - Users can now set and unset metadata on share export locations. The
+    behavior is similar to Manila shares. A new configuration option named
+    ``admin_only_el_metadata`` was added in order to allow administrators
+    to prevent end users to update certain metadata keys.
+  - Cloud operators can now refresh share export locations through a new API
+    instead of restarting Manila's share manager service. This improves the
+    uptime and availability of the cloud.
+  - The Shared File Systems service now requires a user's scope
+    to be set within the OpenStack Identity service by default.
+    This behavior can be turned off, however, it is highly discouraged to do
+    so.
