Hello all!
A new version of Checkbox is now available as a Debian package (in the Stable PPA ) and as Snaps (in the stable channel)!
This release comes to you with a new monitor test but most importantly it fixes a old, new issue with timeouts in the testing session. Now Checkbox should be way more resilient to slow networks and high latencies.
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
