GovCMS: Content management and website hosting for the Australian government. Managed by the Department of Finance with service delivery partners Salsa Digital and amazee.io
Advice GovCMS will release the Drupal 10 (D10) distribution on Tuesday 8 October 2024. Deployment is scheduled to commence from 6:00am Wednesday 9 October 2024 and will be conducted throughout the day. No outages are expected to websites during the deployment process.
It addresses a recent security advisory issued by Drupal.org. GovCMS assessed the critical risk as they applied to D10 distribution, subsequently the security residual risk remained critical. The D10 distribution will continue to be supported after this update

PaaS Actions Update your codebase to ensure you are running the latest platform base images and packages and stay aligned to GovCMS best practice:
GovCMS D10 distribution: - includes module updates addressing Drupal security vulnerabilities. - updated files will be released on Tuesday 8 October 2024 - available from GitHub release tag 3.17.1 (https://github.com/govCMS/GovCMS/releases/tag/3.17.1)
SaaS Actions ❗ 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 branches. - 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.

Advice On Thursday 3 October 2024, we will be merging a PHP 8.3 update into our CI pipeline. This update may impact pipelines that are specifically dependent on PHP 8.2
Who is affected This change will impact all GovCMS Projects. Noting that this will not affect the SaaS community as part of the managed service. However the will allow for development options for the PaaS community.
PaaS Actions If your pipeline requires PHP 8.2, you can continue using it by specifying the following image in your CI configuration by: - Setting GOVCMS_CI_IMAGE_VERSION to : dev-8.2
This will require updating to the latest scaffold tooling release to take advantage of the new CI image location. If you need any help with this please raise a support ticket
SaaS Actions There is no action for the SaaS community, this is part of the managed service.
Deployment schedule plan: - The merge will occur 3:00PM (AEST) Thursday 3 October 2024
