V4.5+ Testing Channel Changelog

4.6.1-0

Released in Testing Channel updates on 12th July 2023.

As per 4.6.0-0 before it, this was built from the master branch.

Our third release under our new non-profit / non-business Open Collective: The Rockstor Project
Stop by to see how our “Sustainability” goals are doing after our first two month.

A Stable release

4.6.0-0 was designated for release into our stable channel, but alas - all good plans and all that. Shopify (now no longer a concern of ours) had other ideas. Lets just say we were delayed by:

As such, the instructions for activating stable updates were then outdated (again). So given we had already started on the following Milestone re current stable maintenance (master branch):

Changelog summary

Special thanks to @Flox for creating us a shiny new semi-automated GitHub action cascade! Our ‘seperation of concerns’ multi-repo approach had its maintenance burden, especially at release intervals - this mechanism is invaluable to speeding up releases as we intend to do in our next testing phase (more on that in a new thread).

I would also like to thank @6ixfalls here on the forum for their excellent reporting and ‘catch’ (that I dropped) in 4.6.0-0 re the SSL Cert reconfig via Web-UI indicated in the changelog above.

And as always we are all indebted to @Hooverdan for their expertise and endeavours here on the forum and in our side-channel discussion. Many thanks.

Test away and report rapidly as we work against the forces of kipple.

There are very few code changes between 4.6.0-0 and 4.6.1-0 and from our prior Special testing request we have had little to worry on. But all the same - this stable rpm is released into testing first for two main reasons:

  • Testing (surprise).
  • Accessibility - our first stable release rpm is always released first into testing.

Enjoy and report.
