This involves: - CI testing - Manual UI testing - Fresh install testing - Upgrade testing - Releases - ======= - Current beta release contains all features targeted for 2.6. Currently sits in beta due to continues UI work. + As part of this process we ensure MAAS is backwards compatible and + doesn't break after an upgrade. That said, while this release has not + introduced breaking changes, we have ensured that there are no + regressions in our test environment. + + [Regression Potential] + Minimal - This is because 2.6 switches from a full TFTP boot process for amd64 EFI and arm64, to a combined TFTP and HTTP boot process. The regression potential is minimal because we have already made this change for amd64 Legacy boot on a previous release of MAAS and have not come across any real issues.
