The Open Build Service(OBS) version 2.3.0 brings new features esp. in the Maintenance and Release Management area and is the latest stable maintained version. It is recommended to update to this version to get improved security protections. It is also the first version which comes with official support offerings from our partner B1-Systems backed by SUSE.

OBS 2.3 brings the functionality to maintain a released software product in an efficient and transparent way. This includes
* Update coordination: One or more maintenance groups can decide if and when to start or release an update. This includes also the tracking of new, running and processed updates * QA and Review integration: The current state of an update is always visible and trackable. Review processes can be integrated * Release Management: Isolated build and tested updates can be released or revoked via OBS mechanism * Multiple code stream support: An issue can be handled for multiple code stream * Documentation support: The documentation of an update for the end-user is integrated
This functionality is already used for doing the maintenance updates for the openSUSE distributions<. The features can be used all together or in parts for own products.
In addition OBS 2.3 provides * A greatly improved web interface, including user management, syntax highlighted source editor and improved source diff review views * Improved Cross Build Support via Qemu * Functionality to hide entire projects * Issue tracking support, tracking documented fixes in external bugzilla, fate and CVE instances in packages.
It is recommended to read the Release Notes before updating an instance. OBS packages can be found in the openSUSE Tools project or as an appliance which can be used on hardware or in VM.

About Open Build Service ========================
The Open Build Service (OBS) is an open and complete distribution development platform. It provides the infrastructure to easily create, release and maintain software for openSUSE and other Linux distributions on different hardware architectures. It is developed under the umbrella of the openSUSE project, but is licensed under GPL and used by other open source projects like MeeGo, Mer, Packman or Tizen. It is also used by universities, ISVs and companies like Intel, Dell, SGI.
Just for this list, we have also updated the future roadmap.
Currently the rails 3.2 and ruby 1.9 port is WIP in master branch. We do still have regressions there, so it is definitive not for everyday usage yet.
As a consequence also the user management will need an overhaul.
We plan to release an alpha version which could be used productive when the port is finished. However, it will not get a maintained branch.
Secondly we need to work on follow two features from the SUSE side: * Product tracking support - multiple maintenance stream per code stream - additional meta data tracking for packages * capability based job assignment
Further stuff which may gets part of the next release: * Request handling re-implementation (moving entrie request to api) * Real Cross Build Support (Mer project and B1-Systems are working on similar approaches) * And in general everything which is provided to us in a state that makes it maintainable also for future releases ;)

Did delta rpms disappear from the roadmap?

I'm wondering... is there any documentation as to how delta generation works? I cannot seem to find any, and it would really benefit some of my packages.
