Searchlight at Stein-1

At the last vPTG [1], the Searchlight team decided to do a release for Searchlight projects at the Stein-1 milestone. Even though a discussion of the release management team has agreed to move the 'cycle-with-milestones' to 'cycle-with-rc' model [5], we still need to release this time to evaluate our effort of reviving Searchlight. And finally, we reached the milestone, and today I was doing a release. The patch is being reviewed on gerrit [2].

The projects are versioned as following:

• searchlight: 6.0.0.0b1
• searchlight-ui: 6.0.0.0b1
• python-searchlightclient: 1.4.0

Here are the features and fixes included in this release:

• ES 5.x support [3]
• Fix bugs
• Versioned Nova notifications [4]
• tox use py3 by default
• Docs clean up

Awesome!!!!
