69.3 LTS

The Avocado team is proud to present a minor release in the 69.0 LTS (Long Term Stability) series, version 69.3 LTS, is now available!

LTS Release

For more information on what a LTS release means, please read RFC: Long Term Stability.

Upgrading from 69.x to 69.3

Upgrading should be smooth, and there are no additional instructions besides the steps on the installation method used. For instance, if using pip, it should be as simple as:

$ pip install avocado-framework==69.3

To use the latest 69.x release, you can also always do:

$ pip install avocado-framework<70.0

Changes from 69.2

Bug Fixes

  • Pin stevedore to a version under 3.0. At version 3.0, stevedore had a major API change, causing breakage with how Avocado uses it.
  • Pin robotframework version, also to avoid compatibility issues.
  • Pin jinja2 version, as newer versions drop support for Python 3.5 and earlier.
  • Pin PyYAML version, as versions after 5.2 do not support Python 3.4, which is supported by Avocado 69.x.
