OpenSRF 3.2.3 Released

The Evergreen Community is pleased to announce the release of OpenSRF 3.2.3. This release contains multiple bug fixes and corrects an issue that was preventing OpenSRF from being built on recent Debian and Ubuntu distributions.

For more information, please see the release notes.

The Evergreen Community wishes to thank those who contributed code, testing, and documentation to this release. Thank you to everyone who works to make Evergreen (and supporting projects) better!

A special thank you to Kathy Lussier for her assistance in this release.

OpenSRF 3.2.3 can be downloaded from the OpenSRF downloads page.

Git Master Branch Renaming [Revised with Upated Instructions for Developers]

On June 1 “master” branches in the public Evergreen repositories will be renamed to “main.” The June 1 date avoids disruption with the Bug Squashing week (May 8 through May 12) and the Evergreen 3.11 Release scheduled for May 25.

Once the change has been made, you can update your local repositories by running the following commands:

    git fetch --all
    git remote set-head origin -a
    git branch -m master main

If you have any questions or concerns, you may email Jason Stephenson or contact the user Dyrcona on irc.libera.chat.
