=========================
Kilo Series Release Notes
=========================

Key New Features
================

* Support for Federated authentication via Web Single-Sign-On -- When
  configured in keystone, the user will be able to choose the authentication
  mechanism to use from those support by the deployment. This feature must be
  enabled by changes to local_settings.py to be utilized. The related settings
  to enable and configure can be found `here
  <https://docs.openstack.org/horizon/latest/configuration/settings.html#websso-enabled>`__.

* Support for Theming -- A simpler mechanism to specify a custom theme for
  Horizon has been included. Allowing for use of CSS values for Bootstrap and
  Horizon variables, as well as the inclusion of custom CSS. More details
  available `here
  <https://docs.openstack.org/horizon/latest/configuration/settings.html#custom-theme-path>`__

* Sahara UX Improvements -- Dramatic improvements to the Sahara user experience
  have been made with the addition of guided cluster creation and guided job
  creation pages.

* Launch Instance Wizard (beta) -- A full replacement for the launch instance
  workflow has been implemented in AngularJS to address usability issues in the
  existing launch instance workflow. Due to the late inclusion date and limited
  testing, this feature is marked as beta for Kilo and not enabled by default.
  To use the new workflow, the following change to local_settings.py is
  required: ``LAUNCH_INSTANCE_NG_ENABLED = True``. Additionally, you can disable
  the default launch instance wizard with the following:
  ``LAUNCH_INSTANCE_LEGACY_ENABLED = False``. This new work is a view into
  future development in Horizon.
