Re: [RDD] How close is Rivendell 4?

2022-07-13 Thread James Greenlee
Glad to know you're back and hope everything is all good. 

I'm looking at upgrading a v2 setup and was pondering whether to go v3 or hold 
out for v4. 

I'll try out the v4 RC and see how it goes. 

Thanks!

On the other hand, Rivendell 4 is certainly stable enough, and publishing a 
release candidate will motivate more people to try it out and reveal more 
issues. 




Good questions! They summarize well the dilemmas involved.

Fred, what's your suggested process for getting attention to pull requests and 
issues?

Well, now that I’m back after a month+ of various distractions, I’m hoping to 
be able to spent some time with those outstanding issues and PRs. And after 
that, we’ll see. 

Cheers!

Just be sure you’re using Rivendell v4.x. Earlier versions won’t work there.

There are packages available in the Paravel repo for RHEL8. See:

There is, it’s just that the date keeps slipping. Suffice to say that it’s been 
an ‘interesting’ past few weeks here.

If all goes well (ha!), I hope to have a release candidate out the door next 
week. We’ll see…

Cheers!

Correct. v2.x is basically limited the Latin character set. v3.x and later has 
proper UTF-8 support.
