Changelog testing

jnweiger · 2020-10-19T10:25:11Z

Untestable changelog items:

Can neither reprodue nor confirm a fix
- Bugfix - Fix support of adler32 checksums with Windows virtual files support: 'The Cloud sync engine failed to validate the download - Error 0x8007017F' due to checksum's validationFailed #7999
- Change - The settings ui shows a prompt for a few seconds: Gui: hide the selective sync pop up by default #7925
Cannot reproduce but code change looks sane
- Bugfix - Use the correct style for the folder wizard: Use the same wizard style on all platforms #8027
- Change - Don't hardcode a plugin location: Show "Unchecked folders will be removed ..." only when relevant #3839
- Change - Use the checksum type specified by the server by default: Use the servers checksum type by default #7989

Failed tests

Bugfix - Use the same HDPI for the crash reporter as for the client: Crash dialog cannot be resized #8042 -- window should be resizeable. It is not.

TheOneRing · 2020-10-20T09:38:18Z

Untestable changelog items:

* Can neither reprodue nor confirm a fix
  
  * Bugfix - Fix support of adler32 checksums with Windows virtual files support: #7999

Can be confirmed by reporting customer

  * Change - The settings ui shows a prompt for a few seconds: #7925

Explained in ticket

* Cannot reproduce but code change looks sane
  
  * Bugfix - Use the correct style for the folder wizard: #8027

The folder wizard did not look like the other wizards on mac (poor harry 🤣 ) now he does

  * Change - Don't hardcode a plugin location: #3839
  * Change - Use the checksum type specified by the server by default: #7989

You will no longer get multiple "computing checksum" messages per file

Failed tests

* Bugfix - Use the same HDPI for the crash reporter as for the client: #8042 -- window should be resizeable. It is not.

Was not readable or usable due to hdpi issues those are fixed, no need for resizing.

@michaelstingl @TheOneRing status 'In Dev'
please ping, when ready for next RC

Suggest to disable Fedora_33 again, this build is broken and blocks the drone pipeline. Debugging needed.

jnweiger · 2020-11-06T16:19:07Z

RC3 is ready for testing:

jnweiger · 2020-11-07T16:32:33Z

Re-opened:

[QA] beta5: *.tar.xz.asc *.pkg.sig files are missing #8109 [QA] beta5: *.tar.xz.asc *.pkg.sig files are missing

TODO:

decide renaming. Drop the -client suffix from packages? -- keep

As discussed with @michaelstingl #8109 is a release blocker, and #8216/#8217 are possible blockers.

dschmidt · 2020-11-18T08:45:31Z

To be clear: we dropped the -client suffix from tarballs and macOS/Windows installers.
Also we streamlined the basenames of all released files. They are now based on SHORTNAME (e.g. source tarball used to be based on OEM_THEME directly).

For Linux packages nothing changed.

jnweiger · 2020-11-18T15:56:12Z

2.7.1 finals are ready for smoke and regression testing:

fresh install in Win10
fresh install on MacOS
fresh install on Ubuntu-20.04, 20.10, CentOS-7.8
Update path tested (ubuntu 20.04): 2.7.0-1 -> 2.7.1+oc-2527 -> 2.7.1+oc-2529
upload download exercises with demo.owncloud.org, demo.owncloud.com, ocis-1.0.0-rc5 -> [QA] Client loops in uploading without progress #8235
version information visible -> [QA] German translation issues #8212 (comment)
no obvious UI glitches. -> owncloud desktop client tray icon difficult to see #8244 , [QA] overlay icons on Ubuntu 20.04 are very small #8240

jnweiger · 2020-11-23T15:07:24Z

Caveats to be communicated:

~~Fedora users: Fedora-33 is still missing.~~
All Linux users: You must perform manual steps to get 2.7 or any later version. See https://owncloud.com/desktop-app/ -- the old repo cannot receive the updates any more.

jnweiger · 2020-11-26T13:42:17Z

Daily build with Fedora-33 was successful.
