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:: Release 0.1.2 is the last release with Python 2.6 support.

Deprecations
~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Class `rally.common.objects.Endpoint` was renamed to `Credentials`. Old
  class is kept for backward compatibility. Please, stop using the old class
  in your plugins.

  .. warning:: dict key was changed too in user context from "endpoint" to "credential"

* rally.task.utils: wait_is_ready(), wait_for(), wait_for_delete() deprecated
  you should use wait_for_status() instead.

Rally Verify
~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Added possibility to run Tempest tests listed in a file(--tests-file argument in ``verify start``)

* Added possibility to upload Tempest subunit stream logs into data base

* Improvements in generating Tempest config file

* Reworked subunit stream parser

* Don't install Tempest when `rally verify [gen/show]config`

* Rally team tries to simplify usage of each our component.
  Now Rally verification has some kind of a context like in Tasks.
  Before launching each verification, Rally checks existence of required
  resources(networks, images, flavours, etc) in Tempest configuration file and
  pre-creates them. Do not worry, all these resources will not be forgotten
  and left, Rally will clean them after verification.

Rally Task
~~~~~~~~~~

* Add --html-static argument to ``rally task report`` which allows to
  generate HTML reports that doesn't require Internet.

* Rally supports different API versions now via api_versions context:

.. code:: none

  CinderVolumes.create_and_delete_volume:
    -
      args:
        size: 1
      runner:
        type: "constant"
        times: 2
        concurrency: 2
      context:
        users:
          tenants: 2
          users_per_tenant: 2
        api_versions:
          cinder:
            version: 2
            service_name: cinderv2

* Move rally.osclients.Clients to plugin base

  Rally OSclients is plugable now and it is very easy to extend OSClients for
  your cloud out of Rally tree.

* Add 'merge' functionality to SLA

  All SLA plugins  should implement merge() method now.
  In future this will be used for distributed load generation.
  Where SLA results from different runners will be merged together.

* New optional_action_timer decorator

  Allows to make the methods that can be both atomic_action or regular
  method. Method changes behavior based on value in extra key "atomic_action"

Rally Certification
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Fix Glance certification arguments

* Add Neutron Quotas only if Neutron service is available

Specs & Feature Requests
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Spec consistent-resource-names:

  Resource name is based on Task id now. It is a huge step to persistence
  and disaster cleanups.

* Add a spec for distributed load generation:

* Improvements for scenario output format
