Unreleased Release Notes

New Features

• The following utility functions have been added to the oslo_utils.secretutils module. These can be used to replace the built-in crypt module which was removed in Python 3.13.

  • crypt_password

  • crypt_mksalt

Upgrade Notes

• The netutils.is_valid_ipv4 method now enables the strict check by default. To preserve the previous behavior, set the strict argument to False.

7.4.0

New Features

• The new VersionPredicate class has been added to the versionutils module, which parses version predicate and check if the given version meets the described requirements.

Upgrade Notes

• Support for Python 3.8 has been removed. Now the minimum python version supported is 3.9 .

Deprecation Notes

• The oslo_utils.secretutils.constant_time_compare function has been deprecated. Use the compare_digest function from the built-in hmac module.

• The md5 method from oslo_utils.secretutils module has been deprecated because hashlib.md5 can be used instead in all supported python versions.
