Current status: - Jenkins host up and running - Automated dependency builds of zlib, OpenSSL and PostgreSQL running on Windows (just pgAdmin to go) - Automated dependency builds of OpenSSL and PostgreSQL running on macOS (just pgAdmin to go) - Automated dependency builds of PostgreSQL running on Linux - All test suites (JS linter and tests, Python PEP-8, unit/API and feature tests), components (message catalogs, docs, Qt4 & Qt5 runtime builds) and builds of pgAdmin (source, Python wheel) running on Linux and being tested against PG 9.3 - 10 and EPAS 9.4 - 10. I have had a (singular) successful feature test run, but most of the time they just time out at the moment. Once I have all the builds working as required for each platform, I intend to have them run regularly, and then setup smaller, targeted builds that will just produce the distribution packages on demand. > Ask: what can we do to accelerate the release process?

He covers a lot of platform-specific tests on different distros with every release that often pickup showstoppers. I think the best way forward would be to continue with the Electron work so we can get away from using the browser in Desktop mode, and then once we have a stable and consistent desktop mode, continue to work on improving test coverage to minimise reliance on Fahar.
