What happens when your process misses something? Things don't happen. I forgot to put a reminder in our work items last week to send this email, and so....it didn't get sent :( Sorry about that.
Last week we spent on finalizing much of the 3.2 release. There was some back and forth about supporting the module tool on windows, and that has continued into this week. We also fixed #18211 and #14766, so splay and runinterval should work in 3.2. We also fixed a mis-feature that had crept in from our support of webrick and ruby 1.9.3 in which the master started doing reverse DNS lookups for every request to it. Documentation for the new future parser got some love and an example module was put together to show what can be done with the new syntax. In slightly less user centered news, we also swapped around how we were going to deal with dependencies on libraries, which caused a cleanup of our Jenkins CI jobs to start using bundler. So what is up this week? * Windows support for the module tool * Cut a 3.2 RC * Work toward testing the packages we produce in our test infrastructure The last few releases the team has downed tools during the RC period to do exploratory testing. We've manually tested the packages we produce, setups of puppet across different systems, the features we had been working on, etc. The main point of that was to make sure that we spotted any problems in the RC and a secondary part was to make sure that we didn't move on before the release was final so that if any problems come up we were able to react. We actually do testing like that throughout the cycle, but the part that is relegated all the way to the end is actually trying out the packages. Testing them all out is also the most painful part. So instead of doing our exploratory testing this time, we are instead taking the time to update our testing and build pipeline to start testing from these artifacts that we actually ship. This investment into our ability to ship should make us able to ship higher quality with less effort in the future. -- Andrew Parker [email protected] Freenode: zaphod42 Twitter: @aparker42 Software Developer *Join us at PuppetConf 2013, August 22-23 in San Francisco - * http://bit.ly/pupconf13* **The first 150 tickets sold will be available at a 35% discount - register now!
