[WG: Accessibility] Sakai 2.9 Accessibility / QA Server Rebuild to move to the Sakai 2.9.0 Release Candidate 01

[Richwine, Brian L]

The Sakai 2.9.0 Accessibility QA Server is back up and is now at 2.9.0-rc01. The database was dropped and the standard accessibility test site and users have been restored.

It can now be reached at: http://qa29-access.sakaiqa.org

FYI - The sakaicle1-trunk.uits.indiana.edu:8181<http://sakaicle1-trunk.uits.indiana.edu:8181> Accessibility QA server is going down in 30 minutes to be rebuilt with the Sakai 2.9.0-rc01 build. I'll send an email to the list to announce when it is back up again. The database will be rebuilt.

Subject: [WG: Sakai QA] Sakai 2.9.0 Release Candidate

I am happy to announce the first release candidate for the 2.9 release, 2.9.0-rc01 . The typical schedule, from the first release candidate to final release, is usually 2 or 3 more iterations of testing and bug fixing. Rutgers has been running with a 2.9.0 based on the Beta 02 version under load for several weeks, with success. A stretch goal for a 2.9.0 GA (general availability) is mid-October, a feasible date is late October/early November, and it is highly likely we will have a release before Thanksgiving. New bugs found and community participation in fixing bugs and testing fixes are the biggest factors for the release schedule.

The Sakai 2.9.0-rc01 release is up at: http://qa29.sakaiqa.org. Other 2.9.0-rc01 servers should be available soon. Please check https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/QA/QA+Servers+-+Sakai+2.9 for updates.

A Test Fest is tentatively planned for next Wednesday, October 3 from 9 am EDT (1 pm GMT).



Artifacts for other qa servers are here:

http://source.sakaiproject.org/release/2.9.0-rc01/artifacts/

You can also build from source as usual from this tag:

https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/sakai/tags/sakai-2.9.0-rc01/

This release includes about 74 fixes that were merged from trunk as

verified.

https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK/fixforversion/12988



All indies were also released as rc01.  The list above does not include those fixes.



We originally targeted to release 2.9.0-rc01 with no blockers, but a blocker came up during the 2.9.0-rc01 build, which will be addressed with the next release candidate. Default permissions are missing when you first add the Lessons tool to a site - https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/LSNBLDR-114 .

The next release is Sakai CLE 2.9.0-rc02, targeted for October 10.
