Release Notes
=============

.. note::
   VNF onboarding is a challenge across the industry because of the lack of a

    The PNF software version information must be specified as following: onap_pnf_sw_information: pnf_software_version:  "<version>"

* R-130206: The VNF/PNF package shall contain a Digest (a.k.a. hash) for each of the components of the VNF package.
    The table of hashes is included in the manifest file, which is signed with the VNF provider private key.
    In addition, the VNF provider shall include a signing certificate that includes the VNF provider public key,
    following a pre-defined naming convention and located either at the root of the archive or in a predefined location (e.g. directory).

* R-816745: The VNF or PNF PROVIDER MUST provide the Service Provider with PM Meta Data (PM Dictionary)
    to support the analysis of PM events delivered to DCAE. The PM Dictionary is to be provided as a separate YAML artifact at onboarding and must follow
    the VES Event Listener Specification and VES Event Registration Specification
    which contain the format and content required.
