mozci 0.7.0 - Less network fetches - great speed improvements!

This release is not large in scope but it has many performance improvements.
The main improvement is to have reduced the number of times that we fetch for information and use a cache where possible. The network cost was very high.

Welcome adusca!

It is my privilege to announce that adusca (blog) joined Mozilla (since Monday) as an Outreachy intern for the next 4 months.

adusca has an outstanding number of contributions over the last few months including Mozilla CI Tools (which we're working on together).

Here's a bit about herself from her blog:

Hi! I’m Alice. I studied Mathematics in college. I was doing a Master’s degree in Mathematical Economics before getting serious about programming.

She is also a graduate from Hacker's School.

Even though Alice has not been a programmer for many years, she has shown already lots of potential. For instance, she wrote a script to generate scheduling relations for buildbot; for this and many other reasons I tip my hat.

adusca will initially help me out with creating a generic pulse listener to handle job cancellations and retriggers for Treeheder. The intent is to create a way for Mozilla CI tools to manage scheduling on behalf of TH, make the way for more sophisticated Mozilla CI actions and allow other people to piggy back to this pulse service and trigger their own actions.

If you have not yet had a chance to welcome her and getting to know her, I highly encourage you to do so.

Welcome Alice!

EDIT: Added correct hyper-link to Hacke's School: https://www.recurse.com
Removed labels to prevent re-posting the various planets.

mozci 0.6.0 - Trigger based on Treeherder filters, Windows support, flexible and encrypted password managament

In this release of mozci we have a lot of developer facing improvements like Windows support or flexibility on password management.
We also have our latest experimental script mozci-triggerbyfilters (http://mozilla-ci-tools.readthedocs.org/en/latest/scripts.html#triggerbyfilters-py).

How to update

Run "pip install -U mozci" to update.

Notice

We have move all scripts from scripts/ to mozci/scripts/.
Note that you can now use "pip install" and have all scripts available as mozci-name_of_script_here in your PATH.

Contributions

We want to welcome @KWierso as our latest contributor!
Our gratitude @Gijs for reporting the Windows issues and for all his feedback.
Congratulations to @parkouss for making https://github.com/parkouss/mozbattue the first project using mozci as its dependency.
In this release we had @adusca and @vaibhavmagarwal as our main and very active contributors.

Major highlights

• Added script to trigger jobs based on Treeherder filters
  • This allows using filters like --include "web-platform-tests" and that will trigger all matching builders
  • You can also use --exclude to exclude builders you don't want
• With the new trigger by filters script you can preview what will be triggered:

233 jobs will be triggered, do you wish to continue? y/n/d (d=show details) d
05/15/2015 02:58:17 INFO: The following jobs will be triggered:
 Android 4.0 armv7 API 11+ try opt test mochitest-1
 Android 4.0 armv7 API 11+ try opt test mochitest-2

• Remove storing passwords in plain-text (Sorry!)
  • We now prompt the user if he/she wants to store their password enctrypted
• When you use "pip install" we will also install the main scripts as mozci-name_of_script_here binaries
  • This makes it easier to use the binaries in any location
• Windows issues
• The python module gzip.py is uncapable of decompressing large binaries
• Do not store buildjson on a temp file and then move

Minor improvements

• Updated docs
• Improve wording when triggering a build instead of a test job
• Loosened up the python requirements from == to >=
• Added filters to alltalos.py

"Thank you!"

This week I had a co-worker thank me again for a project I worked on at the end of 2014.
It touched my heart to hear it so I encourage you to do the same if someone has enabled you recently.

I have failed again and again to use the power of these two powerful words and I hope to use them more often.

mozci 0.5.0 released - Store password in keyring, prevent corrupted data, progress bar and many small improvements

In this release we have many small improvements that help with issues we have found.

The main improvement is that we now don't store credentials in plain-text (sorry!) but use keyring to store it encrypted.

We also prevent partially downloading any data (corrupted data) and added progress bar to downloads.

Congrats to @chmanchester as our latest contributor!
Our usual and very appreciated contributions are by @adusca @jmaher and @vaibhavmagarwal

Minor improvements:

• Lots of test changes and increased coverage
• Do not use the root logger but a mozci logger
• Allow passing custom files to a triggered job
• Work around buildbot status corruptions (Issue 167)
• Allow passing buildernames with lower case and removing trailing spaces (since we sometimes copy/paste from TH)
• Added support to use build a buildername based on trychooser syntax
• Allow passing extra properties when scheduling a job on Buildbot

0.4.0...0.5.0
