It's time for This Week in OpenNMS!

In the last week we have been working on wrapping up the Helm project,
and continuing to finish up the work that will become Meridian 2017 and
OpenNMS Horizon 21.

    Github Project Updates

  *

    *Internals, APIs, and Documentation*

      o I continued my work on getting OpenNMS integration tests to run
        cleanly in Docker containers.
      o Christian and Dustin did more work on moving event parms to a
        separate database table.
      o DJ worked on cleaning up test database creation, and fixing some
        tests that should be marked integration rather than unit.
      o Jesse wrote proper documentation
        <https://docs.opennms.org/helm/branches/master/helm/latest/welcome/index.html>
        for Helm.
      o I renamed the Helm github project to |opennms-helm| and updated
        the packages to just be |opennms-helm| rather than
        |opennms-helm-app|.
  *

    *Web and UI*

      o Seth did more work on his property-based search API for ReSTv2.
      o Markus and I did more work on making error-handling more
        consistent and useful in OpenNMS.js.
      o Jesse fixed light/dark theme handling in Helm, as well as doing
        other UI cleanup.
      o Markus made errors coming from opennms.js show in a more useful
        way in Helm.

    A Clarification On the New Release Schedule

In the last TWiO, I discussed moving to a regular monthly release cycle,
but I was not clear about what types of releases that would affect.

The monthly release cycle is primarily for bug fix releases, to help
guarantee that if you see a bug closed in JIRA, you know when that fix
will make it into production.

We will attempt to also target the 3rd Thursday for new major releases
(Horizon 21, etc.) for consistency's sake, but we are not /guaranteeing/
they will be done on a 3rd Thursday.
