Hi Tim,
Thanks for the release.
Something strange happened with the last patch in your master branch (Version 1.1.0 release - blaze).
# ftc was restored from version 1.1.0 to version 0.3.1!! :O
Thanks,
Daniel

> These are the Release Notes for the Fuego 1.1 release, which we are calling "Blaze".
>
> Although this release is numbered as a "minor" release, it has some major changes
> in functionality. Here are some things to look out for in converting to this release:
>
> = Major changes =
> The major changes to Fuego in this release can be categorized as follows:
> * Changes to Jenkins (or the Jenkins/Fuego interface)
> * Changes to the directory layout
> * Changes to the script system
> * New transports
> * Additional tests
>
> == Changes to Jenkins ==
> There were major changes to
> * Fuego now uses a much more recent version of Jenkins (v2.32.1)
> * It uses the default Jenkins interface.
> * Very few plugins are now required by Fuego itself (only 3)
> * If you are unfamiliar with Jenkins, it is much easier to find information about
> the default Jenkins interface, than one customized with lots of plugins.
> * If you want to customize this interface you still can, by selecting and configuring
> your own set of plugins.
> * Nodes are added with a command line tool, rather than in the interface.
> * Creating a node is simpler. See 'ftc add-nodes'
> * Jobs are added with a command line tool, rather than in the interface.
> * You can create a whole set of jobs based on a testplan, at one time
> * You can create jobs for different specs.
> * This makes it unnecessary to store Jenkins config.xml files for test jobs.
> * This means that Fuego is more independent of Jenkins versions.
> * Variables to control tests are now edited in the command block for the job, instead
> of via user interface elements
> * e.g. Rebuild, Reboot, Test_PreCleanup, Test_PostCleanup, FUEGO_DEBUG
> * This eliminates the need for some Jenkins plugins
> * Build pages now shows links to the Fuego test data
> * The post_test phase is now implemented by the script system itself, instead of
> being a Jenkins post build action.
>
> == Changes to directory layout ==
> Almost all of the Fuego directories have changed locations. They used
> to be expressed as a set of directories under /userdata and /home/jenkins.
>
> For ease of development, Fuego directories are now expressed in 3 sets of
> directories inside the container:
> * /fuego-ro
> * /fuego-rw
> * /fuego-core
>
> In particular the script system and test directories (in fuego-core) are
> now visible '''outside''' the docker container. This means it is much easier
> to add new tests, specs, or testplans, or edit the fuego scripts themselves.
>
> Here are some specific directories that have moved locations:
> * /userdata/conf/boards is now in /fuego-ro/boards
> * /userdata/toolchains is now in /fuego-ro/toolchains
> * /userdata/logs is now in /fuego-rw/logs
> * /home/jenkins/fuego/engine is now in /fuego-core/engine
> * <fuego-core>/engine/scripts/overlays/specs - is now gone
> * spec files are now placed in their corresponding test directories
> * <fuego-core>/engine/jobs - has now been removed
> * Jenkins jobs files are now created using 'ftc add-jobs'
> * /userdata/logs/tests.info is now gone
> * Benchmark metrics are now placed in their corresponding test directories
>
> == Changes to the script system ==
> A number of variables have been changed in the Fuego script system.
>
> The most visible ones are those that used to be in board files, and formerly
> in Jenkins jobs. Here's what happened to these:
> * in the Fuego board file:
> * FUEGO_HOME is now BOARD_TESTDIR
> * DISTRIB is used to declare the distribution used on a board
> * This used to be in the Jenkins node file for a board
> * It is now defined in the board file.
> * It is now declared without a directory name:
> * instead of "distrib/nologread.dist", just declare "nologread.dist"
> * BOARD_OVERLAY - is no longer used (or needed)
> * The Jenkins NODE_NAME is used to determine the board file to use
>
> The following internal variables are removed or changed. These should not
> be used by any tests, but if they are, here are the equivalents.
> * FUEGO_ENGINE_PATH - is no longer used - use $FUEGO_CORE/engine
> * FUEGO_SCRIPTS_PATH - is no longer used - use $FUEGO_CORE/engine/scripts
> * FUEGO_PARSER_PATH - is no longer used - use $FUEGO_CORE/engine/parser
> * FUEGO_TESTS_PATH - is no longer used - use $FUEGO_CORE/engine/tests
> * FUEGO_LOG_PATH - is no longer used - use $FUEGO_RW/logs
>
> The only one of these that should appear in a test script should
> really be $FUEGO_CORE/engine/scripts, to source the <test_type>.sh script.
> (e.g. functional.sh, benchmark.sh, stress.sh).
>
> == New transports ==
> Two new transports have been added to this release:
> * ttc
> * serial
>
> The "ttc" transport is mainly of interest to Sony developers who are
> using the "ttc" tool to manage their board farms. (Actually, this was
> introduced in Fuego version 1.0.9, but it is supported in the 1.1 release).
>
> The "serial" transport is for boards that have no networking capability, and
> are only connected to the host via a serial port.
>
> Support for both of these transports is experimental in this release. There
> are known bugs with both of them. However, some tests can run with these, and
> it was deemed important to get the functionality into the hands of interested
> Fuego users.
>
> == Additional tests ==
> A number of new tests have been added, including some for testing Fuego
> functionality itself. A set of tests were added from the AGL-JTA project. These
> latter tests need more work to preserve reporting capabilities that
> were available in JTA. But this release provides a baseline of operation for these
> tests, to build upon for the next release.
>
> Here are the Fuego functionality tests that were added:
> * check_plots
> * abort
> * board_check
> * test_phases
> * transport
> These test various aspects of the Fuego system itself, or of the
> configuration of a board in the Fuego system.
>
> Here is a partial list of other tests that were added:
> * xorg-macros
> * tiff
> * thrift
> * protobuf
> * pppd
> * pixman
> * net-tools
> * neon
> * lwip
> * libwebsocket
> * libtar
> * librsv
> * voice processing
> * kmod
> * network tool iptables,libpcap and iputils.
> * imagemagick.
> * hciattach
> * glibc
> * giflib
> * fuse
> * fixesproto
> * curl
> * libcroco
> * bsdiff
> * C++ lib boost
>
> Several existing tests were improved. For example functionality was added to
> the LTP test (Linux Test Project test), to support creating an Excel spreadsheet
> of results of the individual LTP sub-tests.
>
> = Bugfixes =
> There were numerous bugfixes in this release. Some of the major ones were:
> * Support for target-side temp directories that are erased between reboots
> * Better support for handling board reboots
> * Handling of proxies during the Docker container build
> * Change in the pre-processor declaration for the Debian ARM cross-compilers
> * This allows many more tests to use this cross-compiler, which has it's own install script in Fuego
>
> = Roadmap =
> This release took a long time - almost 6 months. We would like to have shorter releases
> for the next year (possibly 3 or 4-months apart). We have several important features to
> release and we'd like to get them to users as soon as possible.
>
> The features that are candidates for the 1.2 release are:
> * completion of support for all required AGL features (the AGL-JTA unfork)
> * LAVA integration
> * test reports
> * unified output format - convert all test results to json format
> * test dependency system
> * test server system
> * test package system
> * additional tests
> * some CVE-related tests
> * especially a year-2038 test
