[Andres Rodriguez <andres.rodriguez@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm happy to announce that MAAS 1.9.0 Alpha 4 has been released for testing.
Notable changes:

*Changes:*

   - Minor UI/UX fixes and improvements.
   - Addressed various backend concurrency issues.
   - Addressed an issue where MAAS will fail to deploy on disks larger than
   2 TiB.


*Known problems and Work Arounds (Recurring from Alpha2)*

   - Juju fail to SSH due to changing MAAS' /etc/network/interfaces
      - By default, Juju will change eth0 on /etc/network/interfaces in
      order to support LXC container addressability with MAAS.
However, starting
      from MAAS 1.9 provided that MAAS writes /etc/network/interfaces,
users will
      be unable to successfully finish the bootstrap process provided Juju
      re-configures /etc/network/interfaces causing that eth0 never
comes back up.
      - To work around this issue, users will have to deploy with
      `disable-network-management: true`.
      - For more information, please refer to

   - CentOS fails to deploy when deploying with LVM

MAAS will fail to deploy CentOS with LVM by default. This can be changed by
changing the Setting of the default deployment layout to Flat. This can be
done in the MAAS Settings page under the storage section.
