Details
-------
This release, as well as all previous ones, includes a lot of internal and
external changes. Most important of them are listed below.
CLI changes
~~~~~~~~~~~
* .. warning:: [Modified] Option '--tempest-config' for 'rally verify
reinstall' command was deprecated for removal.
* .. warning:: [Removed] Option `--system-wide-install` was removed from
`rally verify` commands in favor of `--system-wide` option.
* .. warning:: [Modified] Step of installation of Tempest during execution of
the `rally verify start` command was deprecated and will be removed in the
future. Please use `rally verify install` instead.
* Rework commands.task.TaskCommands.detailed. Now output of the command
contains the same results as in HTML report.
Rally Verify
~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Re-run failed Tempest tests
Add the ability to re-run the tempest tests that failed in the last test
execution. Sometimes Tempest tests fail due to a special temporary condition
in the environment, in such cases it is very useful to be able to re-execute
those tests.
Running the following command will re-run all the test that failed during
the last test execution regardless of what test suite was run.
.. code-block:: bash
rally verify start --failing
Specs & Feature Requests
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* [Spec][Introduced] Refactoring scenario utils
`https://github.com/openstack/rally/blob/master/doc/specs/in-progress
/refactor_scenario_utils.rst`_
* [Spec] Deployment unification
Plugins
~~~~~~~
* **Scenarios**:
* [updated] Fix flavor for cloudera manager
Cloudera manager need master-node flavor
* [added] Expand Nova API benchmark in Rally
Add support for listing nova hosts, agents, availability-zones
and aggregates.
* [updated] Make sure VolumeGenerator uses the api version info while cleanup
* Designate V2 - Add recordset scenarios
Add create_and_(list|delete)_recordset scenarios
Remove the test also that checks the allowed methods, this is in order for
us to be able to have a private method _walk_pages that will do fetching of
pages for us vs attempting to fetch 1 giant list at once.
* unify *_kwargs name in scenarios
When running a scenario, `kwargs` is used as default key-word arguments.
But in some scenarios, there are more and one services being called, and
we use xxx_kwargs for this case.
However, some xxx_kwargs are not unifed for same usage[0]. Unifying
these could avoid midleading for end users. Another improvement is to
add xxx_kwargs with empty settings for scenario config files.

* .. warning:: Deprecated arguments 'script' and 'interpreter' were removed
in favor of 'command' argument.
VM task scenarios executes a script with a interpreter provided through a
formatted argument called 'command' which expects the remote_path or
local_path of the script and optionally an interpreter with which the
script has to be executed.
Miscellaneous
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Avoid using `len(x)` to check if x is empty
This cases are using `len()` to check if collection has items. As
collections have a boolean representation too, directly check for true /
false. And fix the wrong mock in its unit test.
* Fix install_rally.sh to get it to work on MacOSX
On MacOSX, `mktemp` requires being passed a template. This change modifies
the calls to `mktemp` to explicitly pass a template so that the code works
on both MacOSX and linux.
* Use new-style Python classes
There are some classes in the code that didn't inherited from
nothing and this is an old-style classes. A "New Class" is the
recommended way to create a class in modern Python.A "New Class"
should always inherit from `object` or another new-style class.
Hacking rule added as well.
* Make Rally cope with unversioned keystone URL
With the change, the client version that's returned is now determined by
the keystoneclient library itself based on whether you supply a URL with a
version in it or not.
* Fix rally-mos job to work with mos-8.0
Also remove hardcoded values for some other jobs.
* Add name() to ResourceManager
This will allow us to perform cleanup based on the name.
* Add task_id argument to name_matches_object
This will be used to ensure that we are only deleting resources for a
particular Rally task.
* Extend api.Task.get_detailed
Extend api.Task.get_detailed with ability to return task data as dict with
extended results.
Bug fixes
~~~~~~~~~
**The most critical fixed bugs are**:
* #1547624: Wrong configuration for baremetal(ironic) tempest tests
* #1536800: openrc values are not quoted
The openrc file created after rally deployment --fromenv did not quote the
values for environment variables that will be exported.

* #1540545: Refactored atomic action in authenticate scenario

Documentation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

to py26 with py34 to reflect current rally tox configuration.
* Change structure of rally plugin and plugin references page
