Hello everyone, This is an Avocado LTS release announcement: 92.0 is now available!
About LTS (Long Term Stability) =============================== Release 92.0 is the first release of the fifth LTS (Long Term Stability) release series (92.x). The previous LTS release series, 82.x, is also an active series, with 82.1 having been released a week ago. Read more about what LTS means here: https://avocado-framework.readthedocs.io/en/92.0/guides/contributor/rfcs/lts.html Important Announcement ====================== Since the previous LTS version (82.0), Avocado has switched the default runner, from the implementation most people currently use (internally simply called runner), to the newer architecture and implementation called nrunner). Users migrating from Avocado 82.x will be impacted by this change and should act accordingly. To keep using the current (soon to be legacy) runner, you must set the --test-runner=runner command line option (or the equivalent test_runner configuration option, under section [run]). Known issues are being tracked on our GitHub project page, with the nrunner tag, and new issue reports are appreciated. LTS Release Notes ================= To understand what you may have to do in order to upgrade from 82.x to 92.0, it's highly recommended you look at the LTS release notes: https://avocado-framework.readthedocs.io/en/92.0/releases/lts/92_0.html Release Notes ============= Since we host the release notes alongside our official documentation, please refer to the following link for the complete information about this release: https://avocado-framework.readthedocs.io/en/92.0/releases/92_0.html Installing Avocado ================== Instructions are available in our documentation on how to install either with packages or from source: https://avocado-framework.readthedocs.io/en/92.0/guides/user/chapters/installing.html RPM packages for the current Fedoras (33 and 34) and EL 8 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, etc) are already available on those distributions' "avocado" module, on the "latest" stream.
