Weekly status for the week of the 16th May to the 22nd May.
Introduction
This past week we have been focusing on reducing our issues backlog and our ongoing projects (see updated section below).
LXD
Improvements:
- Include contents of
backup.yamlin the backup fileindex.yamlfile, so it is accessible even for optimized backups.
Bug fixes:
- Several bugs fixed in the recently added VM QEMU RBD support.
- Fixed issue with incorrect expansion of
%characters in cloud-init config via devlxd. - Added additional error handling across the code base to allow us to use the
errchecklinter. - Use
jointag for primary key rather than hardcodednamefield in DB generator.
LXCFS
Improvements:
- Removes doubled up comment.
Dqlite (Go bindings)
Improvements:
- Replace travis badge with Github Actions badge.
YouTube videos
The LXD team is running a YouTube channel with live streams covering LXD releases and weekly videos on different aspects of LXD. You may want to give it a watch and/or subscribe for more content in the coming weeks.
