Part of the idea is that folks would test the release(s) they are interested in. If you're on 0.96.0 and want to upgrade to 0.96.2 or 0.98.2, then 0.96.2RC0 or 0.98.2RC0 is you should test now (you would do so anyway before you deploy - hopefully, but here's the chance to do it as a service to the community). If you're on (say) 0.94.4 and want to upgrade the latest 0.94 release soon, you should test 0.94.18RC0.
By far the best tests would be deploying it in a test cluster and run some tests against it, kill some services, etc; but anything helps (local install, single node install, see if your client application still compiles, etc). -- Lars ________________________________ From: liushaohui <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, March 14, 2014 6:20 AM Subject: Re: Releases tests.... How to be a volunteer and contribute time for the release tests? Is there some docs or tests list for release? This may help me to check what tests I can do for the release. thx Shaohui Liu On 03/14/2014 07:44 PM, Jean-Marc Spaggiari wrote: > Guys, > > 0.96.2RC, 0.98.1RC and 0.9418RC0 are all coming this week or early next > week...
