Hi everyone,

I'm pleased to announce the latest version of the 1.4 branch, release
candidate 3, is now available for testing. You can check out the code
base at: http://opencast.jira.com/svn/MH/tags/1.4-rc3

Or check out the branch of 1.4 to revision 13078. There are twenty seven
release blockers at this time. There are a further thirty six critical
issues, one hundred and one major issues, and forty four minor issues.
Please test this release as thoroughly as possible, you can find a 1.4
all-in-one QA server at http://testallinone.usask.ca:8080 and a
distributed test cluster at http://testadmin.usask.ca:8080.  Testing VM
images will be available shortly at
http://aifile.usask.ca/opencast/unofficial-vms/1.4-rc3.

This is a testing release, as illustrated in the number of remaining
bugs.  We are make great progress recently, and have a number of changes
which have made this candidate so please make sure to test things
thoroughly!  Among our normal fixes to the core system there have been a
couple of large changes with our support scripts.  Please keep the
following changes in mind when testing:

1)  We have changed the way that we handle the VGA2USB card.  Previously
we had explicit support to handle some special cases, however this
support code does not work in newer versions of Ubuntu (or other host
OSs).  Therefore, we have changed the way we handle the VGA2USB card.
It would be much appreciated if those using these cards would try
installing a CA to verify that these changes work as expected!

2)  Install scripts for the core have been created in the
docs/scripts/install directory.  Please test these and send us feedback
on list.

We have also recently restructured the wiki a bit.  The documentation
for this release is available from
http://opencast.jira.com/wiki/display/MHTRUNK/Matterhorn+Release+Docs+for+TRUNK.

Thank you for your patience with this long release cycle.  We want to
get this done as soon as possible, and any help testing we receive only
gets us closer!

Your friendly neighbourhood release and QA manager,
G
