Release Candidate
-----------------

This is a release candidate! Only to be used in testing environments!

--------------------
Upgrade Instructions
--------------------

This feature release requires a database schema upgrade. Please consult the `documentation <https://rucio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/database.html>`_ about upgrading your database schema.

The following changes are necessary and are covered by the ``alembic upgrade head`` command:

1. Adding column ``services`` to ``messages`` and ``messages_history`` table (Alembic revision ``a193a275255c``)

2. Preparation for QoS feature (Alembic revision ``c0937668555f`` and ``50280c53117c``)

   - Adding ``rse_qos_map`` table
   - Adding ``qos_class`` column to ``rses`` table

-----------------
Important changes
-----------------

1. Due to the metadata unification feature (`#3096 <https://github.com/rucio/rucio/issues/3096>`_) added in this release, the APIs for ``add_did_meta``, ``get_did_meta``, and ``delete_did_meta`` were removed. This data is now available through the plugin mechanism of the common ``get_metadata`` API.
