Now that we have RPC API versions 1.x and 2.0, we could choose to continue to support version 1.x in Folsom and only remove it in Grizzly. This, in theory, would allow smoother upgrades of older Folsom versions to the final Folsom version. However, in reality, we most likely made DB schema changes which affect the compute service and would prevent such a smooth upgrade anyway. Removing 1.x support now removes a lot of potentially buggy backwards compat code from the release and will also make backporting fixes from Grizzly to Folsom easier.

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
Developers wishing to work on the OpenStack Nova project should always base their work on the latest Nova code, available from the master GIT repository at:
Developers should also join the dicussion on the mailing list, at:
