19.0.0.0rc1-53

New Features

• Adds a support for external account binding (EAB) in Let’s Encrypt.

• Added ESP image needed for UEFI virtual media boot. More context in Ironic documentation.

• Improves logging format of kolla containers by adding timestamps with milliseconds, log levels, and a custom date format.

• Add support for patching container images during build. See the build guide for details.

• Upgrade Let’s Encrypt lego from version to version v4.20.4 for better handling of custom ACMEs and general improvements. Changelog: https://github.com/go-acme/lego/compare/v4.15.0…v4.20.4
