GBP Kilo Release Notes
This is the second OpenStack Group Based Policy release. The release comprises of four components/repositories (Service, Client, Heat automation, Horizon UI) and is designed to work with OpenStack stable Kilo. This release has the following highlights:

 * Support for policy-based floating IP assignment
 * Support for sharing Service Chain constructs
 * Support for GBP Resource Quotas
 * Performance optimization with changes to subnet allocation
 * Devstack-based integration gate job
 * Integration test suite
 * Rally gate job
 * Increased unit test coverage across components and drivers
 * Enhanced UI with bug fixes and support for Service Profile
 * Changed namespace for GBP Heat resources (new namespace is GroupBasedPolicy)
