ReleaseNotes/2012.2.2

Release Notes, 2012.2.2

The 2012.2.2 release is a Folsom bugfix update for Nova. It contains a security fix and a fix for serious regression.

The bugfixes contained in this release were backported from the development branches into a stable branch. The release is intended to be a relatively risk free update with no intentional regressions or API changes.

Upgrade Notes

• Because of a serious issue with Nova image cache management on shared storage, the image cache manager is now disabled by default. In cases where shared storage isn't in use, it can be re-enabled by setting image_cache_manager_interval = 40 in nova.conf.
• The 2.1 version of python-quantumclient is required if Nova is configured to use Quantum networking. See this review.

Resolved Security Issues

• OSSA 2012-020/CVE-2012-5625 - create_lvm_image allocates dirty blocks
