| 3 | + The 24.0.0 release includes many new features and bug fixes. Please be |
| 4 | + sure to read the upgrade section which describes the required actions to |
| 5 | + upgrade your cloud from 23.0.0 (Wallaby) to 24.0.0 (Xena). |
| 6 | +
|
| 7 | + There are a few major changes worth mentioning. This is not an exhaustive |
| 8 | + list: |
| 9 | +
|
| 10 | + - The latest Compute API microversion supported for Xena is v2.90. |
| 11 | + Details on REST API microversions added since the 23.0.0 Wallaby release |
| 12 | + can be found in the `REST API Version History`__ page. |
| 13 | +

| 14 | + .. __: https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/reference/api-microversion-history.html |
| 15 | +
|
| 16 | + - `Support for accelerators`__ in Nova servers has been improved. Now |
| 17 | + Cyborg-managed SmartNICs can be attached as SR-IOV devices. |
| 18 | +
|
| 19 | + .. __: https://docs.openstack.org/api-guide/compute/accelerator-support.html |
| 20 | +
|
| 21 | +
|
| 22 | + - Two new ``nova-manage`` CLI commands can be used for `checking`__ the |
| 23 | + volume attachment connection information and for `refreshing`__ it if the |
| 24 | + connection is stale (for example with a Ceph backing store and MON IP |
| 25 | + addresses). Some documentation on how to use them can be found `here`__. |
| 26 | +

| 30 | +
|
| 31 | + - Instance hostnames published by the metadata API service or config drives |
| 32 | + can be explicitly defined at instance creation time thanks to the new |
| 33 | + `2.90 API microversion`__. See the ``hostname`` field documentation on |
| 34 | + the `API docs`__ for further details. |

| 38 | +
|
| 39 | + - Libvirt virt driver now supports any PCI device, not just virtual |
| 40 | + GPUs, that are using the ``VFIO-mdev`` virtualization framework, like |
| 41 | + network adapters or compute accelerators. `See more in the spec`__. |
