ProvidersΒΆ

Providers are a new feature introduced in Plainbox 0.5. They allow third party developers to produce and maintain private and public test collections.

All jobs and whitelists are now loaded from a provider. This also affects the Checkbox project that now produces a custom user interface and a number of providers for various purposes.
