Checkbox 4.6.0 stable release

Project Discussion Checkbox
1

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)!

In this release we’ve added tests for secure boot, USB Designware cores, and NVIDIA container toolkit integration, alongside improvements to image validation and kernel package checks. Plus, expect deeper dives into multimedia with v4l2 compliance jobs and full glmark2 dependency support.

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
