GovCMS D10 update 3.29.1 Apr 21, 2026 06:00 - Apr 25, 2026 10:00 AEST
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 was released on Monday 20 April 2026
- Deployments to commence from 6am Tuesday 21 April 2026 and will be conducted throughout the day
- Production branches completed by 10am (AEDT) Wednesday 22 April 2026
- Once production environments are completed, status page will be updated and Non-Production environments will kick off
- Non-Production branches completed by 10am (AEDT) Thursday 23 April 2026
❗ 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.
