 Guilin Release Notes
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 This page provides the release notes for the ONAP Guilin 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.

 Guilin Features
 ===============
 ONAP Gulin focusses on:

 * 5G network automation and services such as network slicing through RAN, core
   and transport
 * deepening O-RAN Software Community integration along with other leading SDOs
 * seamless orchestration of CNFs, VNFs and PNFs
 * and bringing several new ONAP Blueprint and docs updates.

 5G Network Slicing
 ------------------
 In the industry evolution toward 5G networks, Guilin expands upon the
 end-to-end network slicing introduced with Frankfurt with the addition of RAN,
 core, and transport through Network Slice Subnet Management Function (NSSMF)
 which completes functionality with the Communication Service Management
 Function (CSMF) and Network Slice Management Function (NSMF) components. In
 addition to the NSSMF included in Guilin, ONAP supports an external RAN NSSMF.
 Next, the RAN domain also has initial support for a simple closed control loop
 and machine learning (ML) for intelligent slicing.

 ONAP/O-RAN Alignment
 --------------------
 The release also marks greater ONAP + O-RAN Software Community harmonization by
 adding  support for the A1 interface (O-RAN A1-AP v1.1), adding to the existing
 O1 support. ONAP can now manage multiple A1 targets with different versions and
 includes a A1 Policy Management Service that interacts with the Near Real-Time
 RICs policy instances and provides a transient cache for these policies.

 CNF, VNF and PNF integration
 ----------------------------
 Guilin contains a large number of new features classified into design time,
 run time, and ONAP operations to optimize the self-serve control loop and
 dashboard, make it easier to reuse existing models, make xNF pre-onboarding and
 onboarding easier, speed up UI development, and more. For Documentation
 (Usability), ONAP documentation made improvements such as setting up ONAP,
 Platform Operations, Service Design and Deployment, and User Guides. Specific
 to cloud native, The Service Design & Creation (SDC) project, the unified
 design time tool, now supports Helm types to natively support Cloud Native
 Network Functions (CNF).

 Enhancements in ONAP Blueprints
 -------------------------------
 Other enhancements to the ONAP Blueprints includes a new Standard Defined VNF
 Event Stream (VES) event for Fault Management (FM) / Performance Management
 (PM) Data Collection, the first use of Machine Learning in Self-Organizing
 Networks (SON), and greater support for 5G RAN Wireless Network Resource Model
 (NRM) with Service Modeling and Definition and Intent Based Network supporting
 intent-drive 5G slice creation.

 Project Specific Release Notes
 ==============================
 ONAP releases are specified by a list of project artifact versions in the
 project repositories and docker container image versions listed in the OOM
 Helm charts.

 Each project provides detailed :ref:`release notes<doc-releaserepos>`
 and prepends to these if/when any updated versions the project team believes
 are compatible with a major release are made available.

 Documentation
 =============
 ONAP Guilin Release provides a set selection of documents,
 see `ONAP Documentation <https://docs.onap.org/en/guilin/index.html>`_.

 The `developer wiki <http://wiki.onap.org>`_ remains a good source of
 information on meeting plans and notes from committees, project teams and
 community events.

 Security Notes
 ==============
 Details about discovered and mitigated vulnerabilities are in
 :ref:`ONAP Security <onap-osa:onap-security>`

 ONAP has adopted the `CII Best Practice Badge Program <https://bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org/en>`_.

 - `Badging Requirements <https://github.com/coreinfrastructure/best-practices-badge>`_
 - `Badging Status for all ONAP projects <https://bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org/en/projects?q=onap>`_

 In the Guilin release,

 - 100% projets passed 90% of the CII badge
 - 85% projects passed the CII badge
 - 11% projets passed the CII Silver badge

 Project specific details are in the :ref:`release notes<doc-releaserepos>` for
 each project.

 .. index:: maturity

 ONAP Maturity Testing Notes
 ===========================
 For the Guilin release, ONAP continues to improve in multiple areas of
 Scalability, Security, Stability and Performance (S3P) metrics.

 In Guilin the Integration team focussed in

 - Automating ONAP Testing to improve the overall quality
 - Adding security and E2E tests
 - Integrated new ONAP Python SDK in E2E testing

 More details in :ref:`ONAP Integration Project<onap-integration:master_index>`

 Known Issues and Limitations
 ============================
 Known Issues and limitations are documented in each
 :ref:`project Release Notes <doc-releaserepos>`.
