15.0.0: Start of Pike development and Ocata Release support

This tag signifies the start of Pike development and the release of
Ocata. Starting with this tag Tempest officially supports the
following releases:

 * Mitaka
 * Newton
 * Ocata

The release under current development as of this tag is Pike,
meaning that every Tempest commit is also tested against master during
the Pike cycle. However, this does not necessarily mean that using
Tempest as of this tag will work against a Pike (or future release)
cloud.

NOTE: Usually Tempest for a new development was tagged after final
      release of the previous development. However, this tag is pushed
      before the final release because we need a new tag before the
      first PTG which happens before the final relase.

End of Liberty support in Tempest

Start of Ocata development and Newton Release support

This tag signifies the start of Ocata development and the release of
Newton. Starting with this tag Tempest officially supports the
following releases:

 * Liberty
 * Mitaka
 * Newton

The release under current development as of this tag is Ocata,
meaning that every Tempest commit is also tested against master
during the Ocata cycle. However, this does not necessarily mean that
using Tempest as of this tag will work against an Ocata (or future
release) cloud.

  - Define identity service clients as libraries:
      endpoints_client(v3)
      policies_client (v3)
      regions_client(v3)
      services_client(v3)
      projects_client(v3)
  - ServiceClients class for the service clients which are in tempest.lib
  - A new optional interface TempestPlugin.get_service_clients
  - A new singleton class clients.ClientsRegistry
  - A new helper method service_client_config
  - Define volume service clients as libraries
      availability_zone_client(v1)

      extensions_client(v1)
      extensions_client(v2)

Release v12.1.0 tempest.lib interfaces

We have re-integrated tempest-lib code into tempest.lib under the tempest repository again.
Then we can release the tempest.lib as stable interfaces in the middle of releases.
This is the first tag only for releasing tempest.lib which contains
 - Image v1 clients
 - Image v2 clients
 - Identity v2 clients
 - Network router client
 - Add an argument chunked to post()/put() of rest_client

End of Kilo support in Tempest

This tag signifies the end of support in Tempest for running against
the Kilo release. Starting with this tag no commits are tested against
the Kilo version of OpenStack. This tag also corresponds to the end of
upstream support for the Kilo release.

After this tag the supported releases are:
 * Liberty
 * Mitaka

The release under current development as of this tag is Newton,
meaning that every Tempest commit is also tested against master during
the Newton cycle. However, this does not necessarily mean that using
Tempest as of this tag will work against a Newton (or future release)
cloud.

Start of Newton development and Mitaka Release support

This tag signifies the start of Newton development and the release of
Mitaka. Starting with this tag Tempest officially supports the
following releases:

 * Kilo
 * Liberty
 * Mitaka

The release under current development as of this tag is Newton,
meaning that every Tempest commit is also tested against master during
the Newton cycle. However, this does not necessarily mean that using
Tempest as of this tag will work against a Newton (or future release)
cloud.

Addition of Tempest library interface

This tag signifies the addition of the tempest library interface to
the tempest project. This used to be an external project, tempest-lib,
but as of this tag this interface is exposed directly from tempest.

This tag still supports the same releases as the previous one, which
are:

 * Kilo
 * Liberty

The release under current development as of this tag is Mitaka,
meaning that every Tempest commit is also tested against master during
the Mitaka cycle. However, this does not necessarily mean that using
Tempest as of this tag will work against a Mitaka (or future releases)
cloud.

End of Third Party Testing in Tempest

This tag signifies the complete removal of all the third party tests
from Tempest. Starting with this tag there are no tests for
non-OpenStack APIs in tempest.

This tag still supports the same releases as the previous one, which
are:

 * Kilo
 * Liberty

The release under current development as of this tag is Mitaka,
meaning that every Tempest commit is also tested against master during
the Mitaka cycle. However, this does not necessarily mean that using
Tempest as of this tag will work against a Mitaka (or future releases)
cloud.
