# OPEX 1.8 Release

# Overview

This release is focused on:

1. Integrating monitoring and benchmarking tools to have ability to constantly see the platform's condition and capabilities
2. Extending documentation to make the platform usage more clear

After the extensive work done, we are happy to announce that there are lots of new documentation and we've integrated many benchmarking, monitoring and profiling tools into the platform: Stackdriver, Monyog, Scout APM, JetProfiler, Peatio Toolbox.

# Breaking changes

Starting from this release RKCP is renamed to OPEX(Openware Platform EXchange), so you must rename your kite-rkcp module and vars.kite-rkcp.yml file into kite-opex and vars.kite-opex.yml respectively.

Barong's private key has been moved from config/environments/*env_name*/rsa.key to config/environments/*env_name*/keys/barong.key so if you would like to keep your key, you must move and rename it.
