V2 healthcheck changes ======================

https://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/lava-announce/2017-March/000027.html

This support has now been delivered in 2017.4 using the lava-server manage migrate-health-checks command. If used, the --clean option will remove the old definition from the database for the device-type.

https://staging.validation.linaro.org/static/docs/v2/healthchecks.html#index...

There is also a new migration status page to help admins track which devices still need to be migrated to V2.

Branding message ================

The branding support now includes a message which can be added to the home page for the instance. For example, a short message to describe the main purpose of that instance.

Reminder about the LAVA repositories ====================================

Until Debian Stretch has been released and the new testing suite (called buster) is open for new uploads, new production releases of LAVA will only be available from the images.validation.linaro.org/production-repo repository.

See https://validation.linaro.org/static/docs/v2/installing_on_debian.html#lava-...
