These release notes cover new developer and user-facing incompatibilities, important issues, features, and major improvements.
YETUS-337 | Major | Upgrade version of pylint used in Dockerfile |
The default precommit Dockerfile now relies on pip to grab an up-to-date version of pylint, rather than rely on the version shipped in dpkg.
YETUS-322 | Major | flip verify_ result codes |
This changes various verify_ functions such that 0 is always yes/true and 1 is always no/false. This should make it easier/more obvious what test is being performed in if statements. Be aware that this will likely break any personalities or plug-ins that were written against previous versions.
YETUS-300 | Blocker | CHANGED_FILES, CHANGED_MODULES, etc should really be arrays |

Devs:
YETUS-303 | Major | better sorting options for releasedocmaker |
Releasedocmaker now supports sorting issues based either on resolution date or issue id. The default remains the same: release date in oldest-first order.
See the docs for more information.
YETUS-326 | Major | Make releasedocmaker.py lint filters configurable |
Users of release doc maker can now specify which lint checks they would like used via the --lint
command line argument. Available options are:
For backwards compatibility, the releasedocmaker
wrapper script included in the Yetus convenience binary will treat a bare --lint
argument as --lint=all
. Users that directly invoke the releasedocmaker.py
python script will have to update their invocation.
YETUS-156 | Major | [Umbrella] build driver |
For users:
This patch adds the qbt ("quality build tool") command in order to run test-patch as a regularly scheduled reporting tool against a source tree without the necessity of providing a patch file.
For Developers:
This feature has changed several internal structures and control mechanisms to be incompatible with previous releases:
docker run
command. Now this is done via the DOCKER_EXTRAARGS[@]
variable.BINNAME
now strips off the .sh extension.PATCH_OR_ISSUE
and related vars may be empty when running in the full build mode.
