Hey everyone! OpenFact 5.6.1 was released on Monday: https://github.com/OpenVoxProject/openfact/releases/tag/5.6.1 Most of the changes in this release were fixes and improvements to developer dependencies and workflows. There is one user-facing bugfix for the networking fact to fix parsing of radix flags from

ifconfig

output. Currently, this release is only published to RubyGems. I expect it will show up soon in an

openvox-agent

8.x release once we get an idea of what agent changes, if any, are required to support the upcoming Jetty 12 backport. There is a

8.26.2.22.gb0fb49717

test build of OpenVox 8.x that contains 5.6.1 along with platform bumps to

curl

,

libxml2

, and the

erb

and

net-imap

gems. Thanks to @Nick Burgan, these test builds are fully signed and published to testing repositories. These testing repositories can be configured by using the

openvox8-release

packages from: - https://s3.osuosl.org/openvox-artifacts/index.html#repo_test/apt/ - https://s3.osuosl.org/openvox-artifacts/index.html#repo_test/yum/ Do note that these test packages are ephemeral. They will disappear when we do the next official releases as the process involves resetting the test repositories to mirror production so they can be used to acceptance test repo changes for the upcoming release before it gets officially published. As always, we greatly appreciate any time spent on testing beta packages --- let us know if you find any bugs, or if everything Just Works 🙂
