Copper Release 1 Scope

    installers, through the following projects being upstreamed to OpenStack:

  * Further enhancements of Congress test tools

Known Limitations, Issues and Workarounds
-----------------------------------------

The following features have not been verified as of this release:

  * HA deployment: Congress should be installed in OPNFV deployments in a
    non-HA mode, including in HA deployment scenarios. Basic HA support has been
    implemented for Congress (see http://docs.openstack.org/developer/congress/index.html), but
    this feature has not yet been verified on the OPNFV platform.

  * Horizon plugin: The Congress OpenStack Dashboard plugin (a "Policy tab") has not been
    deployed in OPNFV as of this release. Installing the needed Congress Dashboard plugin
    files on the OpenStack Dashboard host is a future work item.
