Yep, it's that time again.
# What landed?
A relatively quiet week this week with folks out at conferences and on holidays. We still managed to land 47 PRs though. The high level summary is:
- We added a slew of new tests in the https://github.com/kata-containers/tests repo.
- We've made a few tweaks to how existing tests run to make debugging CI failures easier.
- We fixed the unit test code coverage reporting. This had silently broken due to a nasty combination of factors so we are taking steps to avoid that ever happening again.
- We fixed a number of issues with our packaging which is a complex beast! (https://github.com/kata-containers/packaging).
- We made a number of improvements to shutdown and "corner-case" system behaviour.
- We started building Fedora 30 packages to allow you to install Kata easily if you're running that version ( https://github.com/kata-containers/documentation/tree/master/install).
- We added a new CI document check: all documents must be referenced by atleast one other document in the repo (with the main exception of the top-level README). This guarantees all documents can be navigated to from each repos top-level README. Adding the check also shook out a few document link bugs (now fixed) and also uncovered a few docs I think we'd forgotten we'd written!

If you haven't already seen it, tal at Salvador's great article on how we test Kata:

# Fun Facts
## Fun fact 1
Rather than modifying the master config file (/usr/share/defaults/kata-containers/configuration.toml), you can create a custom configuration file as /etc/kata-containers/configuration.toml.
If you want to reset your environment back to using the pristine config file, just delete /etc/kata-containers/configuration.toml.
## Fun fact 2
In addition to the CI scripts [1], did you know that the tests repo contains a number of additional tools (for log parsing, metrics, installation, commit checking, etc) that we use for testing?
