Thank you so much @herbert24 for this post and of course for being the Release Manager! I know you personally went through a lot of conversations and fixes to get to this point, so a special thank you to you. :bouquet: Thank you @sharif @jwnasambu @kdaud @christine @dkayiwa for all the coordination and fixes and support you gave to make this happen - thank you for keeping our product moving forward! :pray: :flight_departure:

Remember @sharif how many headaches this caused last year! :joy: Whew. Getting this officially “out there” is a nice milestone to have completed.

I especially appreciate the careful eye that @sharif @isears @ibacher and others have had to help us address and improve our security. I’m so, so thankful for each of you and everything you do.

I would also personally like to say a huge thank you to our friend @k.joseph. Joseph, I wish you could see and experience what this release was like. Your and @christine’s vision of a QA Dashboard and a QA framework that really helps us out and makes a difference in times like these… well, your vision has come to life, and 2.12 is just the first step. Even now the fruits of your labor have helped the team to get this release tested. We miss you so much and we really remember you.

P.s. - for those who have not seen it recently - look at all these automated tests running against the RefApp! This is so different to our experience last year where we were staying up late working through manual tests on spreadsheets.

Nope, it’s not. Could you send me details so I’ll publish it?

Am sure @herbert24 is the right person with the required details. And I think the version that need to be published is RefApp 2.12.2 following security advisory at

Excellent catch @kdaud. We should definitely incorporate website updates into our Release SOP. @zuzanna there are a few things I’m not clear on so I will work with the last release manager today to update our website; then I’ll reply here to explain how to do it in the future.
