[Avocado-devel] Avocado release 36.4 (LTS)

[Cleber Rosa]

This is an announcement for the users of our Long Term Stability version
of Avocado.  This is a minor release that introduces bug fixes that are
considered important to our users.

Bugfixes
========

* A fix for crashes on broken pipes

* Avocado won't let broken terminals anymore (such as ones without echo).

* Other backports of changes necessary to keep Avocado LTS up and
running on newer development environments.

For a full list of changes, please refer to:

 https://github.com/avocado-framework/avocado/compare/36.3...36.4

LTS in a nutshell
=================

The LTS releases have a special cycle that lasts for
18 months.  Avocado usage in production environments should favor the
use of this LTS release, instead of non-LTS releases.

For more information, please refer to:

Install Avocado
===============

Instructions are available in our documentation on how to install
either with packages or from source:

 http://avocado-framework.readthedocs.io/en/36lts/GetStartedGuide.html#installing-avocado

Updated RPM packages are available in the project repos for EPEL 6,
EPEL 7 and Fedora 25[1].

Users subscribed to the LTS "channel", will get this 36.4 update, while
users using the non-LTS repo, will currently fetch 47.0 after an update.

Happy hacking and testing!

[1] - An issue has been found with Fedora 24, possibly related to the
version of the "fabric" package there.  This prevents the build of
Fedora 24 packages at the moment.  After the issue is resolved, Fedora
24 packages of Avocado 36.4 will be made available.  It's tracked at
https://trello.com/c/vMDsztJg/979-fabric-avocado-lts-fedora-24-failure-to-build-packages
.
