So just to keep everyone up to date on what's going on here...
Last week we had Beta-1.4 then Beta-1.7. The only differences between
1.4 and 1.7 were a kickstart fix to pull a browser into the ARM
graphical images (Firefox isn't working on ARM atm), the inclusion of
Firefox 66.0.1, some kickstart changes to fix non-blocking image
creation, and a fedora-logos update to fix missing text on the
installer 'ad banners'.
The only differences between 1.7 and 1.8 are a mutter update to fix the
Korean input bug (
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1688082
), a python-nudatas / mu update to try and fix compose of the Python Classroom image, and
a qemu update to fix a crasher bug that we decided to accept as a blocker at the blocker
review meeting yesterday:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1692323
so, bearing in mind those changes, the priorities for Beta-1.8 testing
should be basic "smoke tests" - especially the 'default boot and
install' tests, GNOME testing, and checking Firefox to make sure the
new version didn't break anything critical.
Of course, it would be great to fill out as many validation tests as we
can, but those are the key areas.
At present no known blockers are outstanding, so 1.8 is on track for
release as the Beta; of course if you *do* find something that looks
like a blocker bug, please nominate it!
The Go/No-Go meeting will be on Thursday, when we will decide whether
to ship Beta or not, so please help to get as much testing done as
possible before then.
Thanks folks!
