"He's NOT the Messiah!"

This isn't strictly an Evergreen post, though I did the work in the context of my role as the Chief Bug Wrangler for Evergreen/Open-ILS.

Release days are always busy for me, since one of my tasks is to go through the various milestones leading up to the release and changing all of the "Fix Committed" bug to "Fix Released." In addition, I have to create a new milestone for the next bug fix release and move any remaining bugs to that new milestone. Of these two tasks, the first is generally the most time consuming.

I have been looking for a way to automate some of this, and last night, I finally hit pay dirt.
