Hi folks,

After we launched the pre-merge testing for all users on Phabricator in March [1],

we’ve been working on a few improvements we’re launching now. They have been in

beta testing for a while.

Improvements

============

Here’s an overview of the changes, the details are described in the

user documentation [3]:

Windows builds and tests were enabled for all users, using

Visual Studio 2019.
To save time and resources and hide unrelated failures, we’re only building

and testing the projects that were affected by changes to certain folders

the monorepo.

What’s next?

============

Going forward we’re looking into replacing the (hidden, self-hosted) Jenkins

build infrastructure with the (free, hosted) Buildkite [4] build infrastructure.

This will give you more transparency on what your builds are doing and allow

people to hook up other machines with architectures and operating systems not

available on Google Cloud.

Raising issues

==============

In case you spot any problems or have any proposals, please create a new issue

in our GitHub project [5], you can also find all sources and configuration

files there.
