prelude: |
|
|
The ``Openstack 2025.1`` (``Watcher 14.0.0``) includes several new features,
|
|
deprecations, and removals. After a period of inactivity, the Watcher
|
|
project moved to the Distributed leadership model in ``2025.1`` with
|
|
several new contributors working to modernize the code base.
|
|
Activity this cycle was mainly focused on paying down technical debt
|
|
related to supporting newer testing runtimes. With this release,
|
|
``ubuntu 24.04`` is now officially tested and supported.
|
|
|
|
``Ubuntu 24.04`` brings a new default Python runtime ``3.12`` and with it
|
|
improvements to eventlet and SQLAlchemy 2.0 compatibility where required.
|
|
``2025.1`` is the last release to officially support and test with ``Ubuntu 22.04``.
|
|
|
|
``2025.1`` is the second official skip-level upgrade release supporting
|
|
upgrades from either ``2024.1`` or ``2024.2``
|
|
|
|
Another area of focus in this cycle was the data sources supported by Watcher.
|
|
The long obsolete `Ceilometer` API data source has been removed, and the untested
|
|
`Monasca` data source has been deprecated and a new `Prometheus` data source
|
|
has been added.

|
|
fixes:
|
|
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/watcher/+bug/2086710 watcher compatibility between
|
|
eventlet, apscheduler, and python 3.12
|
|
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/watcher/+bug/2067815 refactoring of the SQLAlchemy
|
|
database layer to improve compatibility with eventlet on newer Pythons
|
|
- A number of linting issues were addressed with the introduction
|
|
of pre-commit. The issues include but are not limited to, spelling and grammar
|
|
fixes across all documentation and code, numerous sphinx documentation build warnings
|
|
, and incorrect file permission such as files having the execute bit set when not required.
|
|
While none of these changes should affect the runtime behavior of Watcher, they
|
|
generally improve the maintainability and quality of the codebase. |
