RELEASE NOTES for FORS2 pipeline 5.6.4
------------------------------------

==> DFS COMPONENT NAME:     FORS2 pipeline

==> DFS COMPONENT RELEASE NUMBER:     5.6.4

==> DFS RELEASE TYPE: Annual release for PSO

==> DELIVERED BY: Jon Nielsen     ON: 2023-03-15

==> MAIN REASON OF THE DELIVERY: Scheduled delivery

==> DEADLINE FOR DELIVERY OUTSIDE DFS GROUP: 2023-03-15

==> CONFIGURATION REQUIRED FOR INTEGRATION TESTS:
    - Standard VLT pipeline workstation.
    - VLT & DFS latest software releases.

==> LIST AND LOCATION OF SPECIFIC TEST DATA TO BE RETRIEVED AND USED FOR
INTEGRATION TESTS:

==> POINTS ALREADY CHECKED DURING UNIT TESTS:
   - Successful build on VLT target platform(s)
   - Regression tests of recipes
   - Correctness of pipeline products
   - Integration with gasgano

==> POINTS TO BE CAREFULLY CHECKED DURING INTEGRATION TESTS
   - Verify that the new DO correctly classifies files for all the rules
   - Verify regression test on creation of reduction blocks
   - Verify that each reduction block causes a pipeline recipe to be triggered
     and that the recipe terminates in a controlled manned
   - Verify that the pipeline products do not cause errors in the subsequent
     data flow
