+title: Drupal VM Generator 2.9.1 Released
+date: 2016-12-30
+excerpt: I’ve released some new versions of the Drupal VM Generator.
+tags:
+    - drupal-vm-generator
+    - releases
+---
+
+The main updates are:
+
+- Fixed an `InvalidResponseException` that was thrown from within the
+  `boolean_as_string` Twig filter from the opdavies/twig-extensions library when
+  the `config:generate` command was run in non-interactive mode.
+- Adding a working test suite for the existing commands, using PhpUnit and
+  Symfony’s Process component. This is now linked to [Travis CI][2], and the
+  tests are run on each commit and pull request.
+- The version requirements have been changed to allow 2.7 versions of the used
+  Symfony Components, as well as the 3.x versions. This was done to resolve a
+  conflict when also installing Drush globally with Composer.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+Currently the project is based on Drupal VM 3.0.0 which is an outdated version
+([4.1.0][3] was released today). Adding updates and supporting the newer
+versions is a high priority, as well as keeping in sync with new releases. This
+will be easier with the test suite in place.
+
+My initial thoughts are that version 2.10.0 will support Drupal VM 4.0.0, and if
+needed, 2.11.0 will ship shortly afterwards and support Drupal VM 4.1.0.
