+    The default value for ``[volume] disk_format``, which specifies the
+    disk format of the image in a copy a volume to image operation,
+    is changed from ``raw`` to ``[raw, qcow2]`` for which the type of
+    the config option also needed to change from ``string`` type to
+    ``list`` type i.e. it accepts multiple values now.

+prelude: >
+    This release is to tag Tempest for OpenStack 2025.1 release.
+    This release marks the start of 2025.1 release support in Tempest.
+    After this release, Tempest will support below OpenStack Releases:
+
+    * 2025.1
+    * 2024.2
+    * 2024.1
+    * 2023.2
+
+    Current development of Tempest is for OpenStack 2025.2 development
+    cycle. Every Tempest commit is also tested against master during
+    the 2025.2 cycle. However, this does not necessarily mean that using
+    Tempest as of this tag will work against a 2025.2 (or future release)
+    cloud.
+    To be on safe side, use this tag to test the OpenStack 2025.1 release.
