Hey all,
It's release day and v2016.11-rc3 is out. I've just about cleaned out my queue of stuff I want to take for this release. What's outstanding is perhaps another Kconfig migration or two, and whatever critical fixes people point out.
While there's a few important things that've come in here what I really want to call out is fixed (it was broken for a few weeks) and much improved travis-ci support. All of the qemu targets that I have made work with test.py locally (upstream qemu, no defconfig mods) are now also enabled and tested by travis-ci. So all it takes now if you want to replicate this level of testing yourself is to let travis-ci.org have permission to your github. All of the tests take a bit less than 2 hours wall-clock right now to run and covers most machines and architectures.
As it stands now, I plan on doing the final release on November 14th as scheduled.
Thanks all!
