[edit] Release process (3.x)
- Tag in the runtime repo.
- Build containers on
build.hm.internal(undocumented here — see the repo README). - Roll queen02 first, run the colony test graph, wait a day.
- Roll queen01, then foragers in Worker Node Registry order.
- Update this page and API Deprecation Notes.
Step 3 was skipped for 3.2.1, which is how AF-75 (Known Agent Bugs) reached production.
[edit] Unreleased
- 3.6 was planned for late 2016 with the phero pair failover and cmsync garbage collection. Cancelled by the retirement.
- 4.0 existed as a design doc for about a month.
