Changelog

Version 2.18.0

Moved Python to 3.9 and update the docker container to use Ubuntu 20.04

Version 2.17.3

NOTE: the default BACKSLASH_DATABASE_URI has been changed in this release (in docker-compose.yml). When upgrading an existing instance, make sure to leave the BACKSLASH_DATABASE_URI in your docker-compose file as it were before the upgrade, or otherwise the backend will lose ability to connect to the database.

Version 2.12.0

  • Backslash now supports reporting interruption exceptions to help determine what caused the session to be interrupted. When the sessions are reported with a compatible toolchain (for example, Slash >= 1.5.0), the session and test views will show the interruption exceptions and their contexts
  • Added an option to display metadata values in an accessible location for tests and sessions
  • Warnings are now deduplicated within sessions and tests, preventing DB bloat
