VOLTHA 2.5 released

[Saurav Das]

Hello all,

Today we released VOLTHA 2.5. In the short time-frame since the last release (a development cycle of less than 2 months) we have made good progress towards MVP 2.0 requirements in a number of key areas.
Please take a look at the release notes. In it you will find the highlights of this release, together with the component versions and known-issues.

For this release, 100+ integration tests are run nightly on three hardware pods covering all three operator workflows, and another 50+ tests on virtual pods, together with scale and soak tests.
 
We are grateful to the SEBA/VOLTHA community for excellent progress made towards MVP 2.0 targets. 

While not part of this release, design discussions were completed on a number of issues that are part of the MVP 2.0 requirements. 

We expect the implementation of such design decisions will be completed in the next release.

Please note that the official VOLTHA documentation site has also been updated, where you will find documentation for bringing up VOLTHA 2.5 with physical as well as emulated hardware.

Thanks and Best Wishes - stay healthy!
