Hey all,
I've released v2016.11 and it's now live on git and FTP and ACD (along with PGP sig file).
In many ways it feels good to say that the highlights of the last release once again apply. We've had more DM conversion work, Kconfig conversion work and arch / SoC / platform updates. We've also had some important filesystem fixes come in and equally as important, test cases added. We also now support the new and default enabled ext4 64bit flag (thanks again Stefan!).
And what I want to highlight here is going forward both relative ease of, and expectations on testing. Last time I talked about test.py and how I'm using it more myself now. This time, I want to talk about travis-ci support. If you use github you can get a more-or-less world build and test.py for all of the QEMU targets we support today done in about 2 and a half hours, wall clock. I don't expect people to do this for iterative development or "trivial" changes, but if you have a series that touches a lot of areas I think it's reasonable to expect that you'll test things out this way. And I'll say now it's not 100%. About once every 10 builds I'll have to go and re-start a sub-job because it will fail to fetch one of the PPAs we use for no apparent reason. But to be clear, it's a few minutes worth of setup and then you push a change and you get build coverage and test coverage. This is really awesome and I wish I had been paying more attention to this sooner.
As always, I know I'm missing pointing out a few things that I should point out and would encourage folks to chime in if there's anything they would like to highlight.
Thanks again everyone!
Unfortunately "Amarula Solutions" is not listed in Employers list [1] for this I sent a domain-map mail to Wolfgang Denk during MW, any edit for this?
