<div dir="ltr">Hello All,<br>
<br>
We all know Opensim software start to be more and more popular and that's a good news but unfortunatly our weakest point is the lack of "serious testing".<br>
<br>
We provide a stable release and an up to date SVN with all the limitation of a development branch.<br>
<br>
My proposal is something in between:<br>
<br>
<br>
Proposal<br>
-------------<br>
We could create a weekly load, based on each Friday commit for exemple. <br>
No Commit should be perform during this day to avoid any mismatch.<br>
During this day, we perform a tesplan (included in this mail) that will check the non-regression part of the build and the feature we want to provide.<br>
After the tests, we create an archive open to the public with a small detailed release note explaining the new features and some special parameters if needed.<br>
<br>
This Proposal will help to provide some accurate release "ready for production" and should reduce the mantis volume due to outdated release or bug due to the actual development.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks for your comments.<br>
