Notes

Hyrax 3.0 Release Process

• RC1 was released last week
• There will definitely be an RC2
• There is an ongoing QA process
  • A few notable things are in for RC2, most significantly a Valkyrie upgrade
  • There are a couple of other items which are expected to be closed out in the next cycle of the Hyrax WG
    • Starts in 12 days (a week from Monday)
• At least 3 weeks from today until 3.0.0 release
  • Encourage those with Hyrax 2.x apps or on the 3.0 beta releases to try the upgrade
  • Please help with the release notes if you are available

Wings Update

• Tom sent out an FAQ as a follow-on to the RC1 release
• Addressed the relationship between Valkyrie and Hyrax 3
  • Since then, more substantial Wings work has been merged
  • Application-facing patterns and features have been finished
• With that work progressing, there is a new Valkyrie usage guide for Hyrax
  • Primer for those interested in playing with Wings as a part of their app.
    • This is on the Hyrax Wiki
  • This is something which one can do, but this is still is in its experimental stages regarding support
  • Please take care to ensure that you are testing that your data is properly persisted
