4.5

Release Information

• 4.5 will ship with the Ganymede Simultaneous Release (target release date: June 25, 2008).

• Detailed Schedule.

• Defect queries.

• Download.

• Test reports.

Where are we at?

• RC3 was delivered on Tuesday, June 3.

• We have completed the I8 TP2.

• RC4 (final RC) was originally scheduled for Friday, June 6.
  • It has been delayed until the official RC4 date for +3 projects (Wednesday, June 11).
  • On last week's AG call, we discussed the possibility of a point release (e.g. 4.5.0.1) to resolve defects that cannot be contained in 4.5.0 but are required by the community or a consuming product.
    • We are attempting to eliminate the need for a point release (e.g. 4.5.0.1) by delaying RC4 (final RC) to resolve the remaining defects required by the community or a consuming product.

• Agenda for this week:
  • Resolve the remaining I8 defects.
  • Smoke test the RC4 candidate driver.
  • Verify/close our resolved defects.

Defect Verification

• A note has been sent to the originators of all resolved defects reminding them to verify/close these defects before Ganymede releases.

• Please verify/close your resolved defects this week:
  • Paul.
  • Duwayne.
  • Jerome: Tony will assist.

Test Automation Initiative

• Paul and the Release Engineering Team are working on consolidating our testing process and automation infrastructure:
  • For more information, see the WIKI page.
  • To see the BVT results for a specific build, open the Build Reports page for a specific build and select BVT Results.
  • Outstanding defects include:
    • Paul:
      • JUnit and JUnit Plug-in test execution add incorrect elements to the plugin.xml file.
      • AGR Tests require absolute path to Equinox JAR
      • Clear remote workspace launch does not work for remote test execution
      • AGR Tests cannot be run with start ACServer
      • Test Execution Tabular Report contains empty or incorrect child reports.
      • IExecutionDeploymentAdapter.cleanUpTestAssets no longer called
    • Duwayne:
      • AbstractTestExecutionService – “Process was null -- test completed too fast?” message
      • Connection property does not deploy all dependencies
      • Test Execution fails when project defined incorrectly - ResourceException
      • Connection property does not allow JUnit Plug-in Tests to be executed
      • ASF marshalling return value between service and client adapter does not have support for failures / exceptions
      • Confusing exceptions when running automated services.
      • ASF Test Execution Service races with AutoBuildJob -- can lead to unexpected test results
      • ANT test results property requires trailing slash to specify location
      • Exceptions when running ASF tasks.
      • Only the name of the execution result is used from the results property.

Enhancements

• Queries.
• Schedule.

• Alexander Nyßen:
  • Providing the ability to record user's interactions with GEF objects in a GEF editor: Alexander (TPTP user and contributor) has contributed a patch and documentation for basic GEF/Draw2D support in the AGR. AG/PMC approved and Contribution Questionnaire (CQ) approved. Since we will be running AGR test suites to smoke test the RC5 candidate, Paul will complete the integration, testing, and check-in after RC5 has dropped (target: June 17). This enhancement requires updates to the AGR user guide for the outstanding function (see Support capturing additional draw2d related events when recording user's interactions with a GEF editor).
