This Week in OpenNMS: Release Candidate Wants Your Votes!

It's time for This Week in OpenNMS. In the last couple of weeks we
worked on smoke tests, fixed more bugs, and released 1.8.13 and 1.9.90.


  New Releases

It's been a bit since we last did a release, we pretty much put all
releases on hold until we could put a 1.10 release candidate out. That
said, we found a couple of reasonably important bugs (in both 1.8.x and
1.9.x) and decided it was time to take the plunge. 1.9.90 is the first
release candidate for the 1.10 series, meaning that we are
feature-complete and plan only on fixing important bugs before 1.10.0
gets released. That said, Linkd should be still considered beta for this
release. It's gone through a significant refactor, but still has not
reached parity with 1.6 (or even 1.8) Linkd. We will not release 1.10.0
until we have that parity, but for now, if you're relying on Linkd,
stick with 1.8. If you have the ability to help us test the new Linkd
code against your devices, bug reports would be helpful, however.


  Podcast

Jeff has been planning on making an OpenNMS podcast for a while now, but
Dev-Jam was the perfect opportunity to get a few folks on the mic and
talk about the state of OpenNMS and what happened during Dev-Jam. If you

then you've already seen this, but if not, please check it out!
