- TFA module from 1.7.0 to 1.8.0 (https://www.drupal.org/sa-contrib-2024-043)
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)
GovCMS scaffold
- updated files released on Thursday 3 October 2024
- available from GitHub release tag 3.6.0 (https://github.com/govCMS/scaffold/releases/tag/3.6.0)
- more information about how to update this can be found in the Knowledge Base (https://www.govcms.support/support/solutions/articles/51000177893-keeping-your-govcms-scaffold-up-to-date-paas-customers)
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.
