Scheduled - Advice - Who is affected: GovCMS Drupal 10 (D10) community. - No outages are expected to websites during the deployment process. - The D10 distribution will continue to be supported after this update. - If you have any concerns, raise a ticket at https://www.govcms.support
Schedule: - Distribution will be released on Tuesday 10 June 2025 - Deployments to commence from 6am Wednesday 11 June 2025 and will be conducted throughout the daytime - Production branches completed by 10am Thursday 12 June 2025 - Once production environments are completed, status page will be updated and Non-Production environments will kick off - Non-Production branches completed by 10am Friday 13 June 2025
❗ IMPORTANT NOTICE 1: Deployments during maintenance window - During the scheduled maintenance window, ALL D10 SaaS deployments will be blocked while we deploy to the D10 Production environments. - While the production block is on, you will still be able to develop and deploy to non-production feature branches. - PaaS deployments schedules are not impacted.
❗ IMPORTANT NOTICE 2: Update local environments - Ensure you update your local environments to the latest release. Not rebasing your codebase results in mismatched database configuration causing errors in forklifts and deployments.
❗ IMPORTANT NOTICE 3: For customers with configuration management enabled - The latest configuration from your production database has been created for you in GitLab in a branch called action-required/latest-config-export. - You need to review and test the changes in the merge request. Once you are satisfied, please check the “Delete source branch” box and click “Merge”. - This MUST be done before any new commits. - All subsequent deployments will be blocked in the CI pipeline until this merge request branch is deleted - Not merging the latest configuration provided could result in your new database configuration reverting to an older version when you next deploy, potentially causing issues for your website. - If no merge request is lodged after a release then no configuration has changed and no further action is required.

Information for PaaS customers In line with this advice https://status.govcms.support/incidents/khd5xg9qcsdv, we created and set a Lagoon environment variable for Cache life for 15 minutes, please review this change for your projects. If you are using the GovCMS Akamai CDN, we strongly recommend that you enable the Akamai Purge module on your projects to support automated cache purging.

GovCMS Upcoming Lagoon Task GovCMS is working a new Lagoon task to help you self service downloading Drupal configuration. It will be available from the Dashboard for you to be able to export configuration on a per environment basis. If you export configuration using the Drupal UI, moving forward this task will be the recommended approach. We’ll keep you updated when this change becomes available.
