The 2019.01 tag has been pushed to master on git.lavasoftware.org. Packages have been built in GitLab CI and are available at apt.lavasoftware.org/release. Docker images for amd64 and arm64 have been built in GitLab CI and are available from hub.lavasoftware.org and https://hub.docker.com/u/lavasoftware

New bootloader testing and recovery support ==================================

The recovery mode support already implemented for the hikey 6220 has been used to provide recovery mode operations for the X15 by Milosz Wasilewski to support bootloader testing with automated recovery.

Dropped default patterns and fixup dicts ===============================

Omits the V1 compatibility constants for default pattern and fixup dict. Patterns and fix up dictionaries are now only available in Lava Test Definition 1.0 test shells if the test writer explicitly adds the parse: block to the test definition. The documentation has been updated.

Ensure lxc-templates is installed =========================

To use lxc, the recommended lxc-templates package must be installed to provide the template files. When installing lava-dispatcher in Docker, it is now useful to specify the lava-lxc-mocker package as the updated LXC packages will fail to install inside Docker.

Final black changes ================

All LAVA Software Python code in lava.git has now been formatted using black and the GitLab CI ensures that this formatting is retained. If you are developing code to be merged into lava.git, ensure that you have black installed and run it as the final step before contributing your changes upstream or the CI will fail.

REST API using django-restframework ============================= Added REST API for LAVA, including ability to export results in JUnit and TAP13.

Non-POSIX test action ================= Add a new test method for non-posix shells. The test writter is able to launch any command on the DUT and is responsible for giving the right set of patterns that match failure and success.

Add a new boot method called "bootloader" =================================

This method allows to boot the DUT, interrupt the bootloader and jump into the bootloader shell.
