Hello all!
Checkbox v4.2.0 is now available as a Debian package (in the Stable PPA ) and as Snaps (in the stable channel)!
With this release we have deployed new ways to export information from Checkbox with the list update, added new tests and kept up with the constant stream of bugfixes to both the framework and bundled tests. Additionally, the new tutorial from test plan author is out in the stable documenation, make sure to check it out!
Reminder: 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
