Squash Orchestrator 2.2.0 Release Note

Introduction

Squash Orchestrator is a set of micro-services to perform automated test execution workflows described in a specific format.

This release note describes the changes of Squash Orchestrator version 2.2.0 compared to 2.1.0.

Squash Orchestrator 2.2.0 was released on October 21, 2021.

Support for properly starting and stopping the orchestrator. In order to simplify these operations, some tools are provided: the start script will return when the orchestrator is fully up and running; the stop script will ensure that all current tasks are finished before shutting down the orchestrator.
This can be used to start the orchestrator, execute some tests, and stop the orchestrator in a step of a CI/CD pipeline.
This is also useful for the upgrading an orchestrator used "as a service" (i.e. continuously up-and-running).
Addition of the put-file action to put a file in the execution environment (see the action description in the OTF documentation).
Some technical refactoring.

SQUASH-4340 OTF core max_step (256) is too low : we can't FIT a 20-30 test case test plan in a job
The orchestrator is able to support test plans with many more tests.
