This release introduces more improvements in the Service Activation area. Among them are SA sharding for additional horizontal scalability, WRR load balancing in activator pools, per-object concurrent script limits, command snippets, and script output templating. This release also introduces initial support for ZTE ZXR10 platform.

This release introduces major improvements in the Service Activation area: pure-Python Telnet and SSH client implementations, poll()/epoll() support, parallel execution in debug-script, reduced CPU and memory footprint, large config handling (over 30 MB), and support for Cisco Catalyst clusters. Configuration management received an additional Config Diff Filter Rule, which allows you to strip unimportant config changes from notifications, while handling them normally. Address Space Management can now import prefixes from equipment's directly connected networks into the database.

This release introduces the activator pools - the ability to share the load between several activator processes, greatly increasing responsibility, performance, and reliability of the service activation subsystem. The IPAM module got "show free prefixes" link and "rebase prefix" feature.
