The Avocado team is proud to present a minor release in the 82.0 LTS (Long Term Stability) series, version 81.1 LTS, is now available!

LTS Release

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

Upgrading from 82.x to 82.1

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==82.1

To use the latest 82.x release, you can also always do:

$ pip install avocado-framework<83.0

Changes from 82.0

  • The avocado.utils.software_manager RPM backend now properly uses the right type when checking the installed version of a package.
  • The avocado.utils.cpu library now properly handles s390x z13 family of CPUs.
  • Build fixes for the RPM packages on Fedora 34 and newer, by not making use of make without an explicit requirement.
  • A workaround for Travis-CI on arm64 (aarch64) was included, using only one CPU avoid job’s processes being killed.
