  • Changelog https://github.com/wikimedia/scap/blob/release/debian/changelog#L1-L31
  • Notes:

MediaWiki: scap learned to use the absolute path when running sync commands.
This means you can now run sync commands outside /srv/mediawiki-staging and 
hey should still work (Fixes: T162220 --  thanks TimStarling for your help tracking 
his down!).

scap learned to reloading services in addition to being able to restart them (Fixes: T134001).

TODO: 3.5.5 -- make sure that vars.yaml, checks.yaml, scap.cfg all merge the same way
