Happy Friday everyone! We're gearing up to do a 8.27.0 release of the

openvox-agent

next week. This release should be functionally similar to 8.26.2, the big changes are: - Lots of behind-the-scenes work on the release pipelines by @Nick Burgan to enable the community to ship releases without being dependent on manual updates by a single individual. This release puts that work into practice! - Over the past few weeks, a few security issues have been published against components in the OpenVox runtime. None are particularly impacting to OpenVox operations, but we all like clean security scans and this release will help with that. A list of resolved CVEs can be found here: https://github.com/OpenVoxProject/openvox/releases/tag/8.27.0 - This week's OpenFact 5.6.1 release is included in

openvox-agent

8.27.0. Signed

openvox-agent

8.27.0 packages have been published to the 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/ If anyone has some spare time to give these a try, we would greatly appreciate it. If you find any issues, let us know in the #C08UG359WKE channel. If all goes well, we will promote these packages to the production repository next week -- likely Tuesday at the earliest.
