❗ 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.

GitLab Remember me functionality will be disabled on 16 June 2025
Currently, GitLab allows a “Remember me” session lifetime for 2 weeks. GovCMS will be enforcing a maximum session lifetime of 24 hours. Developers, please be aware of this change. If you hit any issues re-authenticating or staying logged in for less than 24 hours, please raise a Service Desk ticket
The next scaffold update is scheduled for 17 June 2025.
This change is to help improve local environment setup and resource utilisation in CI/CD we're looking to move local stack dependencies out of the test image. This will allow local development to start without pulling the test dependencies and allows developers to opt-in to the testing suite provided by
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.
