Checkbox 3.3.0 stable release

Certification Checkbox
1

Hello all,

Checkbox 3.3.0 is ready to be released to the stable channel. This post is part of our preparation to ensure a smooth transition between the two versions and is our announcement for this incoming update. The release will take place on: 2024-02-07T23:00:00Z, two weeks from this going live.

We are not introducing any non-backward compatible change, but remember: if you update Checkbox you will not be able to resume testing session that you begun before updating. If this is undesirable to you, consider pinning Checkbox and finishing all sessions that are ongoing with the following command:

# for snaps:
$ sudo snap refresh --hold=forever checkbox checkbox22
# for debs:
$ sudo apt-mark hold checkbox-ng checkbox-provider-resource checkbox-provider-certification-client checkbox-provider-base

Remember to eventually run the following to re-enable automatic updates:

# for snaps
$ sudo snap refresh --unhold checkbox checkbox22
# for debs 
$ sudo apt-mark unhold checkbox-ng checkbox-provider-resource checkbox-provider-certification-client checkbox-provider-base
