+ * py-macaroon-bakery 1.2.1 has several changes and fixes that allow third 
party software to integrate with Candid for macaroon based authentication. 
Without this version, users are unable to integrate their software with Candid.
  
- On the other hand, MAAS is impacted and wont be able to use remote
- authentication without this version.
+ * As part of supporting external authentication and RBAC in MAAS, the
+ newer version is required to fix a few issues, such as
+ 
+  - https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1786830 (allowing using
+ hostnames without domain for the candid host) which is fixed here:
+ https://github.com/go-macaroon-bakery/py-macaroon-bakery/pull/54
+ 
+  - fix for https://github.com/go-macaroon-bakery/py-macaroon-
+ bakery/issues/57, which happens when MAAS uses the bakery client to talk
+ to RBAC.
+ 
  
  [Test Case]
  
  Without this version:
  1. Install MAAS
- 2. Install Candid
+ 2. Install Candid and configure it with a location like 
'http://<hostname>:8081'
  3. Configure MAAS w/ Candid
  4. Attempt authentication -> it will fail.
  
  With this version:
  1. Install MAAS
- 2. Install Candid
+ 2. Install Candid and configure it with a location like 
'http://<hostname>:8081'
  3. Configure MAAS w/ Candid
  4. Attempt authentication -> it will suceed.

related to bugfixes.
