This is an announcement for the users of our Long Term Stability version of Avocado. This is a minor release that introduces one bug fix that was considered important to our users:
https://github.com/avocado-framework/avocado/commit/b2f595c8540d964e534dbacb60431dc1719914c0 For a full list of changes, please refer to: https://github.com/avocado-framework/avocado/compare/36.1...36.2 LTS in a nutshell ================= The LTS releases have a special cycle that lasts for 18 months. Avocado usage in production environments should favor the use of this LTS release, instead of non-LTS releases. For more information, please refer to: https://www.redhat.com/archives/avocado-devel/2016-May/msg00025.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/avocado-devel/2016-April/msg00038.html Install Avocado =============== Instructions are available in our documentation on how to install either with packages or from source: http://avocado-framework.readthedocs.io/en/36lts/GetStartedGuide.html#installing-avocado Updated RPM packages are be available in the project repos for EPEL 6, EPEL 7, Fedora 22, 23 and 24. Users subscribed to the LTS "channel", will get this 36.2 update, while users using the non-LTS repo, will be running 39.0 after an update. Version notice (dropping the "lts" suffix) ========================================== We have noticed that some tools, including Python and pip, have troubles with the version numbers we have been using for the LTS releases. Because of that, we have then decided to drop the "lts" suffix from version numbers. Still, all releases with the 36.x major number, including this 36.2 release, will be LTS releases. When a new major LTS release is announced, it will follow the same pattern (without the "lts" suffix). Happy hacking and testing! -- Cleber Rosa [ Sr Software Engineer - Virtualization Team - Red Hat ] [ Avocado Test Framework - avocado-framework.github.io ]
