Assumptions and Risks
The time available before the release is short. The list of features to be included in the release is in flux, making it difficult to plan which features to write about first.
Documentation Deliverables and Outlines
The Documentation plan is derived from the Apache CloudStack 4.2 QA Plan. The following table lists the new features and how they affect documentation. We are committed to provide documentation for features marked P1 and P2.
