| features: |
| - The Tempest plugin interface contains a new optional method, which allows |
| plugins to declare and automatically register any service client defined |
| in the plugin. |
| - tempest.lib exposes a new stable interface, the clients module and |
| ServiceClients class, which provides a convinient way for plugin tests to |
| access service clients defined in Tempest as well as service clients |
| defined in all loaded plugins. |
| The new ServiceClients class only exposes for now the service clients |
| which are in tempest.lib, i.e. compute, network and image. The remaining |
| service clients (identity, volume and object-storage) will be added in |
| future updates. |
| deprecations: |
| - The new clients module provides a stable alternative to tempest classes |
| manager.Manager and clients.Manager. manager.Manager only exists now |
| to smoothen the transition of plugins to the new interface, but it will |
| be removed shortly without further notice. |
