Details
-------
This release, as well as all previous ones, includes a lot of internal and
external changes. Most important of them are listed below.
.. warning:: In this release Rally DB schema migration is introduced. While
upgrading Rally from previous versions it is required now to run
``rally-manade db upgrade``. Please see 'Documentation' section for details.
CLI changes
~~~~~~~~~~~
* [Removed] ``rally info`` in favor of ``rally plugin *``.
It was deprecated for a long time.
* [Modified] ``rally deployment check`` now prints services, which don't have
names, since such services can be used via api_versions context.
* [Modified] ``rally verify [re]install`` option --no-tempest-venv for was
deprecated in favor of --system-wide
* [Added] ``rally-manage db revision`` displays current revision of
Rally database schema
* [Added] ``rally-manage db upgrade`` upgrades pre-existing Rally
database schema to the latest revision
* [Added] ``rally-manage db downgrade`` to downgrades existing Rally
database schema to previous revision
* [Added] ``rally task export`` exports task results to external
services (only CLI command introduced, no real service support
implemented yet, however one could write own plugins)
* [Added] ``rally verify export`` exports verification results to
external services (only CLI command introduced, no real service support
implemented yet, however one could write own plugins)
Rally Deployment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* ``fuel`` deployment engine is removed since it was outdated and lacked
both usage and support
Rally Task
~~~~~~~~~~
Add custom labels for "Scenario Output" charts
* X-axis label can be specified to add_output() by
"axis_label" key of chart options dict.
The key is named "axis_label" but not "x_label"
because chart can be displayed as table, so we explicitly
mention "axis" in option name to make this parameter
useless for tables
* Y-axis label can be specified to add_output() by
"label" key of chart options dict
In some cases this parameter can be used for rendering
tables - it becomes column name in case if chart with
single iteration is transformed into table
* As mentiones above, if we have output chart
with single iteration, then it is transformed to table,
because chart with single value is useless
* OutputLinesChart is added, it is displayed by
NVD3 lineChart()
* Chart "description" is optional now. Description is
not shown if it is not specified explicitly
* Scenario Dummy.add_output is improved to display labels
and OutputLinesChart
* Fix: If Y-values are too long and overlaps chart box,
then JavaScript updates chart width in runtime to fit
width of chart graphs + Y values to their DOM container
Rally Certification
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
None.

Bug fixes
~~~~~~~~~
**7 bugs were fixed**:

but Rally is passing one (tenant_id).
* #1543414: The `rally verify start` command fails when running
a verification against Kilo OpenStack
* #1538341: Error in logic to retrieve image details in image_valid_on_flavor
