Hey TL;DR; Please upgrade to plainbox 0.13.1 or plainbox 0.14 snapshot ASAP as plainbox 0.13 is critically broken.
Earlier today we have started investigating two issues: * https://bugs.launchpad.net/plainbox/+bug/1375158 * https://bugs.launchpad.net/plainbox/+bug/1375724 Both bugs are critical and crippling. Both are recent regressions introduced during the 0.13 release cycle. The first of the two is now fixed. This is the bug that both Tai and Sam experienced today. The good news is that this bug is now gone. The bad news is that this bug is destroying the serialized session state thus making recovery impossible. Affected machines need to be re-tested. One cannot just 'plainbox session export' the logs again. The second bug is less serious but equally crippling. It's a follow up to the recent XML control characters issue that we've fixed before (twice, this is the second bug and third iteration of this patch). I've included *all* of the discussion about those bugs so that anyone following can cross-check my logic and verify that the bug is correctly identified and the discovered issue is fixed. Daniel will release an emergency 0.13.1 release and publish it in the stable PPA. The release will be made from plainbox-v0.13 with the two fixes cherry-picked (they are both single patches so this is easy). The relevant branches are linked to the bug reports. As for what we've learned: I would like to amend the release candidate testing procedure to include a test where we resume a newly created, suspended session. We can even work on automating that via a fully-automatic test case (a shell script anyone can run). Performing this test would have caught one of the issues and would have prevented us from having to re-test machines as the second bug can be simply fixed in the field allowing existing test results to be recovered. If you have any questions about this feel free to contact us directly either in the internal #Cert channel, on #checkbox or via email.
