This page provides the release notes for the ONAP 'Kohn' release. This
includes details of software versions, known limitations, and outstanding
trouble reports.
Release notes are cumulative for the release, meaning this release note will
have an entry for each Major, Minor, and Maintenance release, if applicable.
Each component within the ONAP solution maintains their own component level
release notes and links to those release notes are provided below.
Details on the specific items delivered in each release by each component is
maintained in the component specific release notes.

Persistency Service (CPS)
- Improved slice analysis in the Control loop automation
- Continued modernization of the Policy framework including Service Mesh
integration and native Kafka messaging
- Security enhancements that include removal of known vulnerabilities and
adoption of key software supply chain artifacts
Functional Requirements
-----------------------
Richer set of Cloud Native Functionality
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- CDS support for Application Service Descriptor
- Onboarding ASD CSARs
- Transformation to ONAP SDC CSAR
- Model updates to support ASD TOSCA types
- Support in SDC TOSCA parser
- SO improved flows around the CNF orchestration, CNF Upgrade, and minor bug
fixes around the slicing use case.
- Create multiple PNF instances in the same request
- Support for long-running CDS process
- Recursive orchestration Support
- CNF Upgrade Workflow with Da-2 supported
E2E Network Slicing
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Slice Analysis MS enhancement to support real-time intent listening using
DCAE SDK dmaap-client lib
- KPI Computation MS enhancement to support new KPI reporting to UUI, KPIs
spanning multiple resources and error handling for missing counter
- Enhancements for Intent-based Cloud Leased Line and Transport Slicing with
DCAE SDK alignment for SliceAnalysis MS & enhancing AAI interface for
supporting IBN CL
Control Loop evolutions
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- 5G SON use case enhancements including Control Loop message for ANR modified
to align with A1-based flow/support
- CCVPN enhancements for Intent-based Cloud Leased Line and Transport Slicing
Extended O-RAN Integration
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Continued maturing A1-Policy controller functions:
- Support updated RESTCONF spec (RFC 8040) between A1 PMS & A1 Adapter
- Numerous 3PP dependency updates
- Support custom south-bound adapters for custom A1-AP protocol versions
- Deprecate DMaaP NBI
- Improved logging / Tracing / Metrics
- Improved logging/debug-ability in CSIT tests
- Support JWT access tokens - for use in service mesh environments.
- Additional SONAR reporting for A1-PMS service
- Better alignment with O-RAN in the 5G SON use case with use of O1 and A1
interfaces.
- Introduction of specific control loop flows for O1-based and A1-based RAN
actions. This includes changes in Policy, SDN-R, SON-Handler MS, and
RAN-Sim.
- Enhancement of RAN-Sim to support A1-based actions
- Modification of Control Loop message formats and policies to direct O1 and
A1 flows appropriately
Controllers
^^^^^^^^^^^
- Resource Resolution Enhancements
- Enabled deleting resources by lastN occurrences
- Template headers, path, and outputs mapping in the rest processor
- The empty Output mapping means for JSON/MAP all keys and for other types
extracting of primitive
- The empty response is mapped to the value is output mapping is empty (but
not null)
- Open resolution processors for in-CBA customization
- Improve resolution tests verification
- Use RestProcessor for testing RestProcessor
- Added component for deleting resources and templates
- Fixed enrichment for multiple assignments
- Fixed the transform-templating for referenced complex types
- Creation of dynamic data-type using all workflow steps
- CDS now has an endpoint for template deletion
Service Design
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Application Service Descriptor support with:
- Onboarding ASD CSARs
- Transformation to ONAP SDC CSAR
- Model updates to support ASD TOSCA types
- Support in SDC TOSCA parser
- Deletion of archived assets
- Improved support for TOSCA constructs
- Support for TOSCA value expressions using TOSCA functions
- Improved support for import of services
- Application metrics
Inventory
^^^^^^^^^
- Updates to schema and edge rules
- Model updates for User Network Interfaces (uni), Route target, Network
Route, BGP neighbor, VPN binding, Lag interface, Physical interface and
Logical interface
- Edge rule changes
ONAP Operations Manager
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Update of Infrastructure and tools versions to improve build and deployment
time, as well as fixing vulnerabilities
- Initial Setup for "ONAP on ServiceMesh" deployment as basis for the London

Non-Functional Requirements
---------------------------
The following 'non-functional' requirements are followed in the
Kohn Release:
Best Practice
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Standardized log fields
- Support dual stack IPv4/Ipv6 across all ONAP modules

Security
^^^^^^^^
- Adoption of software bill of materials (SBOMs)
- Usage of basic images that provide the most updated and secure Java and
Python versions
- Improve OpenSSF (formerly CII badging)
Documentation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Development guide updated
- Structural changes in 'Guide' section
Tests & Integration
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
