Current Series Release Notes

34.0.0-72

Upgrade Notes

  • The nova-novncproxy, nova-serialproxy and nova-spicehtml5proxy services now default to native threading mode with the default [DEFAULT] concurrency_backend = auto setting. With that every Nova service defaults to native threading, only the nova-manage, nova-policy and nova-status CLI entry points still default to the eventlet mode. Each console proxy service can be reverted individually to the legacy eventlet mode by setting [DEFAULT] concurrency_backend = eventlet in the configuration file of that service. Please read the concurrency guide for more details.

  • The deprecated [workarounds] disable_libvirt_livesnapshot option has been removed.

  • The deprecated aliases of quota related options in the [DEFAULT] section have been removed. Use the options in the [quota] section instead.

Bug Fixes

  • Bug #2160158: Fixed the supports_virtio_fs capability always reported by the libvirt driver regardless of virtualization type. This feature is supported by only QEMU. Now the capability is reported only when the [libvirt] virt_type option is set to qemu or kvm.

  • Fixes a regression in 2026.1 where all requests to the deprecated /os-volumes_boot API failed with an unhandled HTTP 500 due to a KeyError: 'body' in the request body validation.

  • Previously, if a request to detach a Cinder volume failed at the call to delete the attachment via Cinder API, the volume status remained “detaching” instead of being returned to “in-use”. The “detaching” status prevented subsequent retries of a detach request from being able to succeed as they were rejected for the volume not being “in-use”. This has been fixed to roll back the volume status to “in-use” if a volume detach fails at the Cinder API call. See bug 2016173 for more details.
