+Version: 1.4.4
+--------------
+
+:Release Date: 2019-1-31
+
+
+**Bug Fixes**
+
+The Casablanca maintenance release fixed the following bugs:
+
+ - `APPC-1247 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/APPC-1247>`_ - java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError when publishing DMAAP message
+ Changes were made to the karaf bundle exports to fix this problem.
+ - `APPC-1289 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/APPC-1289>`_ - VNF Restart flow throws Linkage Error
+ Pom file dependency changes were made to fix this problem.
+ - `CCSDK-741 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/CCSDK-741>`_ - Removed Work-around required for vCPE use case to correct the error described in CCSDK ticket.
+ APPC updated to using the latest CCSDK version in order to recieve the fix for this problem (`APPC-1304 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/APPC-1304>`_)
+
+Special Note for `APPC-1367 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/APPC-1367>`_ - APPC fails healthcheck with 404 error:
+
+ During testing, we found there is a timing issue. When using OOM to deploy to k8s environment the clustered MariaDB database is not accessible at the time when the APPC pod is trying to insert the DG into MariaDb. This would cause the healthcheck issue. The workaround to solve this issue is redeploying the APPC pod.
+
+Version: 1.4.3
+--------------
+
+:Release Date: 2018-11-30
+
+

+
+ - `APPC-1192 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/APPC-1192>`_ - CDT was not updating the DEVICE_INTERFACE_PROTOCOL table, so APPC was unable to get the protocol during lcm actions.
+
+ - `APPC-1205 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/APPC-1205>`_ - Artifacts manually entered into CDT were not saving correctly, while artifacts created by uploading a template were.
+
+ - `APPC-1207 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/APPC-1207>`_ - Logging constants were missing in several features, causing incorrect logging messages.
+
+ - `APPC-1218 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/APPC-1218>`_ - Aai connection had certificate errors and path build exceptions.

+
+ - `APPC-1234 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/APPC-1234>`_ - AppC Open Day Light login was responding 401 unauthorized when AAF was enabled.
+
+ - `APPC-1237 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/APPC-1237>`_ - APPC was not properly url-encoding AAF credentials.
+
+ - `APPC-1243 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/APPC-1243>`_ - Container was not preserving mysql data after kubectl edit statefulset.
+
+ - `APPC-1244 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/APPC-1244>`_ - Ansible Server would never start in oom.
+
+**Known Issues**
+
+ - `APPC-1247 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/APPC-1247>`_ - java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError when publishing DMAAP message
+ - This issue is relevant during the vCPE use case.
+ - Due to this defect, the VM will perform four start/stop sequences, instead of the normal one.
+ - After the four start/stop sequences, the VM will be left in the correct state that it should be in.
+
+ - Work-around required for vCPE use case to correct the error described in: `CCSDK-741 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/CCSDK-741>`_
+ - CCSDK aai adapter doesn't recognize generic-vnf attribute in the response, as it is not defined by aai_schema XSD
+ - To work around this, several steps must be performed as described here:
+
+ 1. Add a restapi template file into the appc docker containers
+ a. Enter the appc docker container (docker exec... or kubectl exec...)
+ b. Create a directory: /opt/onap/appc/templates
+ c. Download this file `aai-named-query.json <https://gerrit.onap.org/r/gitweb?p=appc/deployment.git;a=blob_plain;f=vcpe-workaround-files/aai-named-query.json;hb=refs/heads/casablanca>`_ and place it in that directory
+ 2. Replace the generic restart DG with a new one
+ a. Download the `APPC_Generic_Restart.xml <https://gerrit.onap.org/r/gitweb?p=appc/deployment.git;a=blob_plain;f=vcpe-workaround-files/APPC_method_Generic_Restart_3.0.0.xml;hb=refs/heads/casablanca>`_
+ b. Edit the file. Find the parameter definition lines for restapiUrl, restapiUser, restapiPassword (lines 52-54) and replace these with the correct values for your aai server.
+ c. Copy this file into the appc docker containers to the /opt/onap/appc/svclogic/graphs directory (you will be replacing the old version of the file with this copy)
+ 3. Load the new DG file
+ a. In the appc docker containers, enter the "/opt/appc/svclogic/bin directory
+ b. Run install-converted-dgs.sh

+**Other**
+
+- Limitations, Constraints and other worthy notes:
+
+ - OpenStack Restriction:
+
+ - Currently APPC only supports OpenStack.
+
+ - Admin level access for Tenant level operations.
+
+ - OpenStack Hypervisorcheck is turned off by default.
+
+
+ - Integration with MultiCloud is supported for Standalone Restart (i.e., not via DGOrchestrator). For any other action, such as Stop, Start, etc.. via MultiCloud requires the MultiCloud identity URL to be either passed in the payload or defined in appc.properties.

- Limitations, Constraints and other worthy notes
- - It is impossible for us to test all aspect of the application. Scope of testing done in Beijing is captured on the following wiki: https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/APPC+Beijing+Testing+Scope+and+Status
- - Currently APPC only supports OpenStack
- - OpenStack Hypervisorcheck is turned off by default. If you want to invoke this functionality via the appc.properties, you need to enable it and ensure you have Admin level access to OpenStack.
- - Integration with MultiCloud is supported for Standalone Restart (i.e., not via DGOrchestrator). For any other action, such as Stop, Start, etc.. via MultiCloud requires the MultiCloud identity URL to be either passed in the payload or defined in appc.properties.
- - APPC needs Admin level access for Tenant level operations.
- - Currently, the "ModifyConfig" API and the implementation in the Master Directed Graph is only designed to work with the vFW Closed-Loop Demo.
+ - An issue was discovered with usage of AAF in an OOM deployed environment after the Beijing release was created. The issue was twofold (tracked under `APPC-977 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/APPC-977>`_):
+
+ - Needed APPC configuration files were missing in Beijing OOM , and
+ - AAF updated their certificates to require 2way certs, which requires APPC updates
+
+ Additionally, in a Heat deployed environment, a manual workaround will be required to authorize with AAF if they are using 2way certificates. For instruction on workaround steps needed depending on type of deployment, please refer to the following wiki: https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/AAF+Integration+with+APPC.
+
+ - During the testing of the vCPE/vMUX closed loop scenarios in an OOM deployed environment, an issue was encountered where transactions were not being deleted from the TRANSACTION table and was blocking other Restart request from completing successfully (tracked under `APPC-987 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/APPC-987>`_). A workaround is available and documented in the Jira ticket.

Version: 1.2.0
- Continue supporting the vFW closed loop use case as part of regression from the seed contribution.
Other key features added in this release include:
-
- Support for Ansible
- The Ansible Extension for APP-C allows management of VNFs that support Ansible. Ansible is a an open-source VNF management framework that provides an almost cli like set of tools in a structured form. APPC supports Ansible through the following three additions: An Ansible server interface, Ansible Adapter, and Ansible Directed Graph.
- Support for Chef
