CDR SEARCH TOOL
From a working tool to a release.
The September CDR baseline: feature lock, application metadata, retention rules and a release build pipeline.
- WORK DATED
- WRITTEN
A look back at this stage of the project, written later from the development record. Product details describe that point in time.
A point to build from
The CDR Search Tool history on 23 September marks a v0.15.25 baseline and feature lock. It also records preparation of application metadata for version 1.0.0, a 30-day retention limit for the free edition, and an obfuscated release build pipeline.
These are release-preparation milestones. They do not mean that a public 1.0 release shipped on that date. They mark a shift from adding behaviour to deciding how an identifiable version of the application should be packaged and distributed.
The application has to travel
The tool receives Cisco CUCM call detail records, turns them into searchable information and supports reporting. Making that useful outside a development folder means thinking about the host, runtime, configuration and data as well as the interface.
Version metadata and a repeatable build process help establish what is being distributed. A defined retention rule gives the free edition a clear boundary. Each is a small part of making the package understandable to the person who will run it.
A baseline is not the finish line
A feature lock creates a reference point for validation. It gives testing, documentation and packaging a specific version to work against instead of a moving target.
The next questions are operational: can the intended user install and start it, understand its configuration, confirm that records are being ingested, and recover when something goes wrong? Those checks deserve to be part of release work rather than something left until after distribution.
