The Extensions Framework in Apache CloudStack is designed to provide a flexible and standardised mechanism for integrating external systems and custom workflows into CloudStack’s orchestration process. By defining structured hook points during key operations—such as virtual machine deployment, resource preparation, and lifecycle events—the framework allows administrators and developers to extend CloudStack’s behaviour without modifying its core codebase.

The VM ingestion feature allows CloudStack to discover, on-board, import existing VMs in an infra. The feature currently works only for VMware, with a hypervisor agnostic framework which may be extended for KVM and XenServer in future.
The new cloudstack-agent package wouldn't boot due to various issues.
Those all seem to be resolved.
Other changes include path changes like /etc/cloud -> /etc/cloudstack
The new package now installs, but the upgrade hasn't been tested yet.
Some concepts included:
* the replace.properties location used by maven is parameterized to allow
for a build that does not modify the currently git tracked files
* package naming is updated along the lines of what was discussed on the
-dev mailing list and between committers at the Build a Cloud Day in Belgi
* package version pattern is updated (since we redo all package names,
we might as well drop the epoch)
