Pending 12.0-U7.1 bumped to 12.0-U8 it seems

[Patrick M. Hausen]

Hi all,

I had a quick look at the state of U7.1 and found that the release has been deleted and all the issues moved to U8. With one open issue, release might happen soon(ish).

Breaks the tradition

1/25 is scheduled date. Couple weeks out still, but its in internal QA now.

 

[Patrick M. Hausen]

Thanks. I was expecting U7.1 way earlier, fixing just the minor visible glitches. OK ...

 

[Kris Moore]

We debated it for a moment, but ultimately decided on a U8 to try and get some other fixes in as well.

I can't view the changes. Is there an alternative link?

Is it worth waiting for 13.x instead?

@winnielinnie Just log in to JIRA

I had already done so.

Then I suggest you contact e.g. Kris Moore directly - something seems to be wrong with your account.

@Kris Moore, do only certain accounts have access to view certain Jira pages, such as the one above? To view the changelog seems innocent enough.

@Kris Moore, I had the same experience (and question).

Will U8 have a kernel new enough to support 12.3 jails?

On U7, with Syncthing v1.18.6 running in a 12.3 jail, manually installed. Rock stable.

Try https://jira.ixsystems.com/browse/NAS-114320?jql=fixVersion = 12.0-U8 instead.

I tried to login as well - I can't view the changes either

Wait...

Try https://jira.ixsystems.com/browse/NAS-114320?jql=fixVersion = 12.0-U8 instead.

This link is working for me! Thanks @Samuel Tai

Speaking of QA, this is the second release where an update broke graphs of one kind or another. How did such a glaring, obvious error make it through QA in the first place? I run a software development group, including the QA department. A UI bug that breaks almost all the graphs would be impossible to miss unless nobody is testing it.

Because the bug only manifests in Chromium 96+, which was released at the same time as 12.0-U7. 12.0-U7 passed against Chromium 95, which was the most current version at the time. One of those unfortunate coincidences of timing, and not iX's fault.

@Kris Moore, any ETA for U8?

This post says why it has been pushed back to after Jan 31 2022 https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/truenas-12-0-u7-released.97293/post-678970 I have now idea how long it will take to get the patch integrated and what else will have to be done.
