2022-06-10: Content & Tooling Team Status Update

By LukasAud | Friday, June 10, 2022

Fri-yay 🥂

Another week, another report. Except it’s actually been two weeks!

Over the two community days we have released 11 modules, hitting a new record since the comeback of the CAT team and our weekly blogs. Soon enough we are expecting all our modules to be up-to-date at the forge with all the upgrades they have been receiving.

We are also happy to announce that we’ve released a new version of PRM, 0.2.1. This new version includes some minor bugfixes and enhancements that aim to improve the user experience. The full release notes can be found here.

In addition to this, we have been working on a number of things, from implementing RedHat 9 into our supported modules to doing an overhaul of the Apache module syntax, removing any legacy facts and ensuring that each variable has it’s own type and description.

Finally, we have reworked some internal documentation to ensure that our team is ready to welcome new members in the future.

That’s all for this week, folks! We still have many projects in the drawing board so keep tuned in to our weekly blogposts. Hope you all enjoy your weekend.
