A half of patches relate to Cleanup. We have once again proved that ideal
stuff can be improved. :)
Specs & Feature Requests
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* `[Spec][Introduced] Improve atomic actions format`__
__ https://github.com/openstack/rally/blob/master/doc/specs/in-progress/improve_atomic_actions_format.rst
Plugins
~~~~~~~
* **Cleanups**:
* Use proper attribute to get heat stack name
* Always assign a name to created images.
This is necessary for name-based cleanup. If a name is not specified, one
will be generated automatically.
* Improve filtering glance images in case of V2 API
* Delete only images created by images context
Since the images context allows creating images with arbitrary names,
name-based cleanup won't work for it, so we have to delete the exact list
of images that it created instead.
* New config option to set cleanup threads
Allow the user to change the number of cleanup threads via the rally
config. When scaling out to thousands of instances, the cleanup can take
forever with the static 20 threads.
* Add inexact matching to name_matches_object
This will support places where we create resources with names that start
with a given name pattern, but include some additional identifier
afterwards. For instance, when bulk creating instances, Nova appends a UUID
to each instance name.
* **Scenarios**:
* Add sample of template for testing for testing heat caching.
* Introduced new scenario `Dummy.dummy_random_action`__. It is suitable for
demonstration of upcoming trends report.

* **Contexts**:
`api_versions`__ context was extended to support switch between Keystone V2
and V3 API versions. Now it is possible to use one Rally deployment to check
both Keystone APIs.
__ http://rally.readthedocs.org/en/latest/plugin/plugin_reference.html#api-versions-context
* **Newcomer in the family**:
All ResourceType classes are pluggable now and it is much easier to use and
extend them.
.. warning:: Decorator ``rally.task.types.set`` is deprecated now in favor of
``rally.task.types.convert``.
Bug fixes
~~~~~~~~~
* #1536172: rally deployment destroy failed with traceback for failed
deployments. At current moment it is impossible to delete deployment if for
some reason deployment engine plugin cannot be found, because exception will
be thrown.
Documentation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Remove extra link in `All release notes`
Previously, two links for latest release were presented.
* Update release notes for 0.3.2
* Fixed indents for warning messages
* Fixed all references
Thanks
~~~~~~
To Everybody!
