2025.2 Series Release Notes¶

7.0.0-4¶

Fixed hash ring synchronization broken after eventlet removal. The agent now uses service.Launcher for single-process execution instead of service.launch() which spawns worker processes via fork. With forked processes, the HashRingMemberManagerNotificationEndpoint class variables (members and hashring) were not shared between the parent process (handling OVN events and operations) and worker processes (receiving heartbeat notifications), causing hash ring checks to always fail in the parent process. Single-process execution ensures all threads share the same memory space and class variables work correctly. See LP#2144384 for details.

Support for Python 3.9 has been removed. Now Python 3.10 is the minimum version supported.

Clean up orphan baremetal agents which are left after Ironic’s node was deleted. Removes all agents without related node at service start up and when node is not found in port list but was reported before. See bug: 2086640.

Explicit usage and monkey-patching with eventlet have been removed. Since this is a Neutron plugin, Neutron may still load eventlet modules, but networking-baremetal no longer explicitly uses it. Operators should be sensitive to potential performance changes, although none are expected.
