...

Significant milestone is going to be achieved with the merging ticket of vivo-1958. Brain Brian reviewed and tested new changes. Ralph was doing sanity checking. Checked new building process. Checked on multiple systems like Windows, Mac and Linux, multiple browsers. Ralph is working on checking i18n.

...

William will try to test, at the same time VIVO needs a lot of resources for testing. 

2. Digest file

Didest Diest file is now being created. The idea is now with 1959 we copy war file in tomcat. When tomcat starts VIVO Home directory got populated with war contents. As a part of that VIVO creates an md5 base file. With tomcat restart digest file is being read to find changes since last startup with files in VIVO Application. If files in war and on disk differ then files in home directory rewrites only if they were not changed. Digest file gets updated every time VIVO restarts. 

On restart it recreates files map with md5 and date information.

The only Only untouched files are getting overwritten. 

...

We want to ensure users can upgrade. Upgrad Upgrade should works work with i18n and without it.

...

Send announcement for the community that aplha is alpha is ready, test it.

Encourage testing! A day for extensive testing RCs after internal testing alpha.

...

Plan for merging after 1.12, maybe release in 1.13Use travis for testing more.

Moving scholars closer to core
