  • Phoronix Test Suite 1.0 Pre-Release (v0.9.9)

    This afternoon Phoronix Test Suite 0.9.9 has been tagged in git. This will serve as a git-only Phoronix Test Suite 1.0 pre-release. The Phoronix Test Suite 1.0.0 release is planned for Thursday, June 5, 2008. From now until this release, only bug fixes and other maintenance items will be submitted to git. This means there are 57 test profiles and 23 test suites to be found in the 1.0.0 release.

    Please checkout PTS 0.9.9 at your earliest possible convenience and give it a whirl. It can be git-clone'd from http://www.phorogit.com/repo/phoronix-test-suite.git or by snatching the git .tar.gz at http://www.phorogit.com/index.php?p=...e.git&dl=targz. No official 0.9.9 release will occur due to the short turnaround time and I'd encourage you all to checkout the latest git at the time of testing. Please report back on any last minute thoughts, bugs (including any PHP notices that may appear), and anything else that could remotely be a problem.

    Once Phoronix Test Suite 1.0.0 is released, new profiles and test suites will be accepted, etc. While open to discussion and changes, my plans are to let Phoronix Test Suite 1.0.x be the main focus for the next couple of months with point releases every few weeks or whenever the changes warrant a new release. There are a few major changes I can see for the next major release (likely to be called PTS 1.2 -- still under the Trondheim codename until 2.0), which will be detailed in the future. I am thinking that version may be ready for Q4'2007 depending upon what comes about (in regards to feedback, etc) after 1.0 is released. (This message about 1.0+ will continue in another message...)

    Test away and I'd like to thank everyone for their work so far from testing to pts-core patches to new test profiles and suites.


    Cheers,
    Michael Larabel
