Hello Guix!

It’s a bit of a non-event since we’ve been packaging and using snapshots
of Cuirass all along, but nevertheless, I’m totally thrilled to announce
that Cuirass 1.2.0 is out!

  https://guix.gnu.org/en/cuirass/

Changes since 1.1.0 (excerpt from the ‘NEWS’ file):

  ** Core
  *** Require Fibers >= 1.1.0
      (<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/63389>)
  *** Require Guile >= 3.0.6
  *** Channels are always authenticated
  *** Use a database connection pool instead of a worker thread
  *** Now useless (cuirass watchdog) module has been removed
  *** (cuirass database) now uses records instead of alists for data types
  *** (cuirass base) rewritten as a set of actors
  *** ‘cuirass register’ limits the number of concurrent evaluations
  *** ‘cuirass register’ listens to ‘cuirass web’ on a “bridge” local socket
  *** Keep GC roots for derivations that are queued
      (<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/54447>)
  *** Register a GC root for “build products”
      (<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/64317>)
  *** Logging level can be controlled with ‘CUIRASS_LOGGING_LEVEL’ env. variable

  ** Database
  *** Allow specifications to be inactive

  ** Remote building
  *** Worker stops requesting work when disk space is too low
  *** Worker now asks for work as soon as it’s available
  *** (cuirass remote) provides a higher-level interface for messages
  *** ‘remote-worker’ and ‘remote-server’ are now a fiberized process
  *** ‘remote-worker’ defines distributes available cores among workers
  *** Fix memory corruption leading ‘remote-server’ to never reply
  *** New ‘--log-expiry’ option for ‘cuirass remote-server’
  *** Fix bug that would lead ‘remote-worker’ to wrongfully report failure
      (<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/66692>)
  *** ‘cuirass remote-worker’ periodically removes its own GC roots

  ** Web
  *** Add /admin/specification/deactivate endpoint
  *** Evaluation dashboard now supports filtering by build name
  *** Evaluation dashboard shows completion time and commits
  *** New /eval/latest?spec=… endpoint, linking to the latest dashboard
  *** Evaluation page uncluttered
  *** New /jobset/SPEC/hook/evaluation POST endpoint to trigger an evaluation
  *** Build page provides hints for failed builds
  *** Build page shows the build machine and/or worker ID
  *** New /build/ID/log endpoint, with syntax-highlighted build logs
  *** New ‘etc/new-client-cert.scm’ script; see “Authentication” in the manual

And guess what? 1.2.0 is already running at <https://ci.guix.gnu.org>.

Enjoy the colorful build logs and all that!  :-)
