The big move this week is consolidation: the legacy cluster test runner is gone, folded into the standard framework, closing a long-running maintenance split.
That change, PR 15399, merged today after extensive review linked to longstanding test-framework issues. In practice, cluster scenarios now run through the normal test lifecycle, with support for killing and restarting nodes, waiting for cluster state, and selecting cluster tests on demand. For developers, that…
A second theme is making test failures tell the truth. PR 15879 tackles hung runs: today a timeout kills servers and exits with little context, wasting a full continuous integration cycle. The proposal would collect evidence first, including stack traces from surviving servers, before teardown. Related, PR 15878…
Finally, two focused fixes. PR 15876 closes a wake-up gap where the module list push and insert A P Is could grow an existing list without signaling blocked clients, leaving a blocked list-move waiting for an exact length stuck until an unrelated write. And PR 15877 versions release tarballs and allows custom upload…
