Highlights:
+ John is going to proceed with the merge tomorrow morning.
+ We expect 4 unit tests to break (TestCertstore, TestCollections,
TestTimeZone, TestScripting); we don't think the cause of the unit test
breakage causes problems in the application.
Please be conservative in making changes to the trunk while John is
working on the merge. Once John is done with the merge, we'd like folks
to focus on critical "m5 blocker" bugs.
... more gory details ...
We've made good progress on fixing the most outstanding problems: the
performance on the branch is much snappier and John fixed a key bug wrt
filtered collections in the sidebar. We're happy enough with the current
state of the acceptance tests to proceed with the merge.
We have a new problem -- a few unit tests started breaking after a
change Monday evening. We haven't completely tracked down the issue, but
we think it is related to code that supports legacy parcels.
Unfortunately, nature is not smiling on us. As a hurricane is headed
Phillip's way, he's likely to be offline dealing with it tomorrow. (Good
luck Phillip!) We think he'll likely have a quick fix to our unit test
problem, once he's back. Andi has a fix that appears to work, but our
confidence in that fix is a little shaky.
As the unit test failures do not appear to cause problems with running
or testing the app, we are going to proceed with the merge anyway, and
continue to try and fix the problems revealed by the tests.
Cheers,
Katie
