This release is based on the following bzr tags of lp:checkbox:

plainbox-v0.14
checkbox-support-v0.11
checkbox-ng-v0.12
checkbox-gui-v0.26
plainbox-provider-resource-generic-v0.11
plainbox-provider-checkbox-v0.13
plainbox-provider-canonical-certification-v0.9

The roadmap for the next 2 releases is as follows:

Checkbox release (2014-10-24):

Checkbox release (2014-11-07):
http://goo.gl/0d7U3a

And finally, at the end of this e-mail, find a detailed log of all the changes in this stable release (the changelog versus the last stable checkbox release
from 2014-09-26). Note that the change log is still experimental.

Thanks,

Sylvain Pineau

Features and bugfixes in checkbox trunk code
  [ Maciej Kisielewski ]
  * checkbox-support: add HumanReadableBytes class and module This
    patch introduces helper class for expressing sizes in more human-
    like fashion. It supports both, SI and IEC prefixes.

  [ Po-Hsu Lin ]
  * Added resource category to certification-client whitelists

  [ Zygmunt Krynicki ]
  * checkbox-touch: disable app confinement / apparmor This patch
    changes the apparmor profile / template thing to be unconfined
    (i.e. no sandboxing is enforced) so that we can freely fork & exec
    test executables. Fixes: https://bugs.launchpad.net/checkbox-
    touch/+bug/1375574

  [ Rod Smith ]
  * Made changes recommended by Daniel Manrique
  * Fixed disk_smart test to handle more smartctl -l output formats

  [ Daniel Manrique ]
  * " checkbox-ng: Honor submission/submit_to_hexr launcher setting.
    Added the required handling in newcli.py, and added a config
    variable called submission/submit_to_hexr so this can be used in
    the config file. As is customary, the launcher will override the
    config file setting. I tested both a launcher and adding the
    setting in plainbox.conf. Fixes https://bugs.launchpad.net

  * checkbox-ng: Fix inaccurate documentation for submission/secure_id
  * "Add a call to iw dev to all wireless jobs, to collect interface
    and AP information. The easiest and cleanest way to do this was to
    decompose the existing one-liners into (simple, just 8 lines)
    script commands. The sequence and logic are clearer and I get to
    reuse the INTERFACE obtained with nmcli and awk.
