Agenda (moderator)
Hyrax 2.1.0 update (@tamsin woo)
2.1.0.rc1 was released last week
Going through the pre-release QA process. Tickets to deal with new bugs are in progress.
There's still potential for more bugs to emerge.
RC2 may be released next week. Followed by final release late next week or the week after.
Tom encouraged people to test on their end.
ActiveFedora and Rails 5.2 (@Chris Colvard (Deactivated))
Rails 5.2 changed the ActiveModel::Dirty API. This is causing problems with ActiveFedora.
Chris would like people to look over his PR. Other gems like hydra_works are also failing until AF is fixed.
Remove relic git tags from Hyrax (leftover from Sufia, right?) We are about to bump into tags for 3.x. (@Andrew Myers)
Old tags from the Sufia days have been deleted a couple of times, but they keep coming back.
People are likely accidentally pushing old tags up when they push a legitimate tag.
We will soon need a 3.0 tag for Hyrax, but there's already a 3.0 tag from Sufia.
An information campaign might be the best approach to resolve this.
We should make sure the Hyrax release process describes how to push tags properly (only one specific tag).
Idea: use the gemspec to get the current version and check for tags that are higher than that version.
