So, I'm a bit late with the weekly report. in part because it has been a stressful week. Excuses apart, here is what was done in the last week.

Ironically, I had around 25 failures at the start of the week, and, after the fixes listed above, I have the same number now. Part of the reason is that one test (forms) was not being previously ran because it contained a giant doctest which Jython refused to load. The other part is that the majority of the tests are very sequential, so fixing a failure often means discovering another one (for example, the zxJDBC problems with Decimal were unnoticed the previous week). So, here is a breakdown of the current problems [1], detailing the issues which must be solved and how many tests are failing because of(Continue reading)
