Hello all,
In the run up to the 2017a release I ran my usual set of regression tests and
they turned up a few issues that needed attention, so I've made quite a few
small changes over the last several days.
Today I ran all my tests again (including testing all the function packages
and addons). Things look OK, and I've put up a new snapshot which is in
effect the release candidate. But I'd feel more comfortable if other people
could do some independent testing to check that my "fixes" haven't broken
anything.
I'm therefore proposing to wait until this Friday for the release. If you can
beat on the snapshot and report any problems before then that would be much
appreciated.
It's a real shame that nobody has had the time to work on Helio's idea of
a unit test repo. It would come in handy at release time. As impressive as
Allin's collection of test scripts is, it'd be nice to have a
distributable semi-automaic testing tool.
