Release notes
=============

The release notes for a patch should be included in the patch.

If the following applies to the patch, a release note is required:

* Upgrades

  * The deployer needs to take an action when upgrading
  * A new config option is added that the deployer should consider changing
    from the default
  * A configuration option is deprecated or removed

* Features

  * A new feature or driver is implemented
  * Feature is deprecated or removed
  * Current behavior is changed

* Bugs

  * A security bug is fixed
  * A long-standing or important bug is fixed

* APIs

  * REST API changes

Cinder uses `reno <http://docs.openstack.org/developer/reno/usage.html>`_ to
generate release notes. Please read the docs for details. In summary, use

.. code-block:: bash

  $ tox -e venv -- reno new <bug-,bp-,whatever>

Then edit the sample file that was created and push it with your change.

To see the results:

.. code-block:: bash

  $ git commit  # Commit the change because reno scans git log.

  $ tox -e releasenotes

Then look at the generated release notes files in releasenotes/build/html in
your favorite browser.
