======================
39.0 The Hateful Eight
======================

The Avocado team is proud to present another incremental release:
version 39.0, aka, "The Hateful Eight", is now available!

The major changes introduced on this version are listed below.

* Support for running tests in Docker container. Now, in addition to
running tests on a (libvirt based) Virtual Machine or on a remote host,
you can now run tests in transient Docker containers. The usage is as
simple as::

$ avocado run mytests.py --docker ldoktor/fedora-avocado

The container will be started, using ``ldoktor/fedora-avocado`` as
the image. This image contains a Fedora based system with Avocado
already installed, and it's provided at the official Docker hub.

* Introduction of the "Fail Fast" feature.

By running a job with the ``--failfast`` flag, the job will be
interrupted after the very first test failure. If your job only
makes sense if it's a complete PASS, this feature can save you a lot
of time.

* Avocado supports replaying previous jobs, selected by using their
Job IDs. Now, it's also possible to use the special keyword
``latest``, which will cause Avocado to rerun the very last job.

* Python's standard signal handling is restored for SIGPIPE, and thus
for all tests running on Avocado.

In previous releases, Avocado introduced a change that set the
default handler to SIGPIPE, which caused the application to be
terminated. This seemed to be the right approach when testing how
the Avocado app would behave on broken pipes on the command line,
but it introduced side effects to a lot of Python code. Instead of
exceptions, the affected Python code would receive the signal themselves.

This is now reverted to the Python standard, and the signal behavior
of Python based tests running on Avocado should not surprise anyone.

* The project release notes are now part of the official
documentation. That means that users can quickly find when a given
change was introduced.

Together with those changes listed, a total of 38 changes made into
this release. For more information, please check out the complete
`Avocado changelog
<https://github.com/avocado-framework/avocado/compare/38.0...39.0>`_.

Sprint Theme
============

After so much love that we had on the previous version, let's twist
things a bit with an antagonist title. Info on this pretty good movie
by Tarantino can be found at:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3460252/?ref_=nm_flmg_wr_2

The story line:

In the dead of a Wyoming winter, a bounty hunter and his prisoner
find shelter in a cabin currently inhabited by a collection of
nefarious characters.

Release Meeting
===============

The Avocado release meetings are now open to the community via
Hangouts on Air. The meetings are recorded and made available on the
`Avocado Test Framework YouTube channel
