Hello all, It has been too long that I was feeling a release is just around the corner, just gotta tie up a few loose ends. The significant ones we had are finally tied, some others delayed to v2.8.4 trail, and a documentation refresh remains. Thanks to some package maintainers taking a look at the master branch, some issues with "dist" archive creation and parallel builds were also located and addressed.
So, it is that time of the year again, folks, when flowers bloom and code gets ripe for picking a new release snapshot -- so everybody is welcome to give it a round during the weekend. After too many hopeful deadlines missed, I hope to at least not exceed a year since the last release snapshot :) As usual, https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/wiki/Building-NUT-for-in%E2%80%90place-upgrades-or-non%E2%80%90disruptive-tests (and the build prerequisites linked from there as https://networkupstools.org/docs/user-manual.chunked/_build_prerequisites_to_make_nut_from_scratch_on_various_operating_systems.html) should help you get started. Hoping for good news and no blocker issues, Jim Klimov PS: One known problem remains with the recently introduced apc_modbus driver and/or the libmodbus (core or our fork with rtu_usb branch) - that the USB connections tend to fall apart, as tracked at https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/issues/2609 and others linked from it - for now I've exhausted the hardware-less ideas and the time I had; help is welcome.
