[Andres Rodriguez]

The MAAS team is happy to announce that the new upstream (development)
release has now been released.

*Availability*
MAAS 2.2.0 RC1  is currently available in:

*ppa:maas/next*
New features






*Hardware TestingAs part of MAAS 2.2.0 RC 1, a few new tests have been
added: - Stress-ng-cpu-short - stress tests the CPU of a machine for 5
minutes- Stress-ng-memory-short - stress tests the memory of a machine for
5 minutes.- Badblocks - runs badblocks testing on all disks in parallel.-
Badblocks-destructive - runs badblocks destructive tests on all disks in
parallel. This means that badblocks will overwrite any date currently on
the disks.Commissioning improvementsIn 2.1, MAAS would fail to
commissioning if a 20 minute timeout was reached. This meant that if the
whole commissioning process took longer than 20 minutes to run, the machine
would fail to commission. As of 2.2, this is no longer the case.MAAS 2.2
introduces the ability to track both, builtin and custom commissioning
scripts. This provides the flexibility to add custom commissioning scripts
that would take longer than the initial 20 minute timeout, allowing them to
fully run their scripts without marking a node Failed Commissioning.*Bugs
