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

Next Call

Hyrax Pull Request Review Session

Attendees:

• Chris Colvard
• Tom Johnson
• Gordon Leacock

Pull Request 3996

• README improvements
• Chris approved of those changes

Rails 6 pull request is just a placeholder

Wings pull requests are ready for review, but other PRs are not ready

3969

• Requires some additional attention
• Build cache in CircleCI does not have 2.x/3.x separated by the cache key
• This might be a good change to introduce in the CircleCI Orb
• Wants to load sass-rails 5, but sass-rails is locked at 6
• It is possible that backporting a CircleCI config. is needed

3945

• Requires a bit more work or a test restart
• Intermittent failure is what was blocking the tests from passing
• Tom had some comments, requested to approve it as a result
• It may still need to be rebased
• Also request that the commit message be improved

4012

• Pretty significant step on the migration of models away from ActiveFedora
• Might be worth offering this for review by those uninvolved in the Wings work
• hyrax-valkyrie Channel:
• Names for classes `QueryServiceBook` and `QueryServiceImage`
• Should namespace `Book` vs. `BookResource`
• There were also errors in code documentation for the examples

There are ActiveFedora pull requests which also require review

ActiveFedora 13.1.0 release would be ideal
