The changes introduced in this version are:

1. **Better handling for large Kea deployments**. Earlier Stork releases had problems with large Kea deployments. The specific failure reported mentioned 4500 subnets, but the problem would manifest itself for any sufficiently large deployment resulting in too large ``config-get`` response. This particular problem has been fixed and Stork is now able retrieve significantly larger deployments. We are aware that there are other bottlenecks, in particular with regards to updating Kea status taking a lot of CPU cycles (see #421) and are working on improvements. Nevertheless, we made some progress in supporting larger deployments.

1. **Better handling for large Kea deployments**. Earlier Stork releases had problems with attaching to large Kea deployments. One specific failure report mentioned issues with attaching Kea installation with 4500 subnets for which processing a response to the ``config-get`` command was very slow, effectively causing the system to hang. This particular problem has been addressed and Stork can now be connected to significantly larger Kea deployments. We are aware of other bottlenecks. In particular, the one causing high CPU utilization during the Kea status update (see #421). We are working on removing these bottlenecks.

3. **Stork is able to handle IP address changes**. Earlier Stork versions were confused when Kea's control agent, the DHCP server changed their IP address. This is no longer that case - Stork is able to update its state and point to the new IP address. The workaround (delete and add machine again if the IP address of any app running on it changed) is no longer necessary #366.

3. **Stork is able to handle IP address changes**. Earlier Stork releases did not properly handle a situation when an address or port of the Kea Control Agent has changed. As a workaround, it was possible to remove and add a specific machine again. This is no longer necessary (see #409). Stork now detects Kea Control Agent's IP address/port change and uses this new address/port for further communication.

4. **Major testing efforts**. Stork has been in development for over a year now. During that time, we delivered many new features at rapid pace. To ensure that the project provides high quality software that is maintainable in a long term, we needed to step back and invest some effort in the testing capabilities. Previously we had only backend unit-tests. With this release, we added two new significant capabilities. First, we added webui tests for the web interface. As of this release, we have 42 UI tests. Those tests are now part of our automated CI system #164. Second, we made substantial improvements to the system tests. We now have 7 system tests. Although the number is still small, each system test covers a substantial functionality, such as installing or upgrading packages on CentOS and Ubuntu, testing whether it's possible to use UI to add new user with lower privileges and confirm that new user is not allowed to create more users, testing Stork with Kea configuration with many subnets and more #412. The Developer's Guide has been extended #427. Finally, we've improved our internal building and deployment scripts. This is a change that is visible to users, but it will make developer's life less distracting #402, #400.

5. **UI improvements**. The "see more" link on the dashboard now leads to a subnets view that are filtered appropriately #389. The HA status UI widget now shows the actual state appropriately, even in the cases when Stork was not able to retrieve the HA state yet. #277
