      3 min read        release

This is a special release day actually. Today we released 3 versions of CEKit. Two bugfixes and one scheduled release. Let me go through these. CEKit 3.2.1 and 3.3.2 bugfix releases Note These releases are available only on PyPi, there will be no RPMs prepared for these versions. To support Middleware teams on the route to continuous development (CI/CD) and not to interrupt their current workflows at thea same time I decided to backport changes from the 3.

      2 min read        release

We have another exciting announcement in the pocket: the 3.3.1 version was just released! Note Version 3.3.0 was never released due to the fact that we encountered issues with PyPi which made it impossible to push version 3.3.0 again. There are no changes in the code between version 3.3.0 and 3.3.1. Say hi to 3.3.1! This release focuses on documentation improvements, especially in for modules.

Module naming and versioning guidelines

      2 min read        guideline

As part of the upcoming 3.3.0 release preparation — module documentation was updated in several places. Among other things module naming and versioning pages were added. Below you can find a summary of our suggestions. You can already browse the development version of the documentation. It will become the main documentation after the 3.3.0 release. Note You are free to use your own module name and versioning scheme, but standardizing on the same format will make it easier to reuse modules prepared by someone else.

CEKit 3.1.0 released

      2 min read        release

After 3.0.0 release we decided make our release cycle faster. We’re not afraid of new version numbers, you shouldn’t be too 😏 From now on you can expect new minor releases come out faster. These will be less feature-packed but on other hand this will let us shorten the time between a bug/feature report and the release containing the fix. Above introduction would be meaningless without a release, so here it is!

CEKit 3.0.1 released

      1 min read        release

After initial 3.0.0 release we’ve done earlier this month we’ve gathered feedback and we found that some issues warrant a new bugfix release. Changes Learn more below about these fixes. Fixes in packages and modules installation in overrides In case packages or modules were defined only in overrides (the main image descriptor did not have any mention of packages or modules), these were ignored. This was fixed and now you can have a pretty much empty image descriptor and define your content in modules only.
