Progress on isomorphic-git: after the pull request “support git commands run in submodules” was merged and released, Antora updated their version of isomorphic-git so the new features are live there also.

A major effort this quarter and continuing on since it was mentioned in the last newsletter is the development of codecov-like coverage reports that run in GitHub Actions and are hosted on GitHub Pages. Instructions: Code Coverage with Github Actions and Github Pages .

The pull request to isomorphic-git “Support git commands run in submodules” was merged, and released in the latest version. (See previous post for an explanation). The commit modified 153 files, all the git api commands, and tests applying to each one.

The isomorphic-git improvements are an ongoing saga. (As a reminder, isomorphic-git is a dependency and component of Antora, which can’t parse submodules while boost relies heavily on submodules).

The Boost mailing list has been in place for around 25 years. During at least the last 3 years we have been exploring an upgrade to mailman3 which is a completely new framework based on Django and multiple other components.

In the previous quarter, publish_release.py included features to support the Fastly CDN at archives.boost.io. This quarter, that functionality was put into action with the release of Boost 1.86.0, and it was a chance to fine-tune and improve the script. More error checking.
