FYI: Notice of upcoming GovCMS D9 update 2.29.0 Apr 4, 2023 05:00 - Apr 6, 2023 11:00 AEST
Advice
We would like to inform you of the tentative dates for the upcoming GovCMS Drupal 9 (D9) release and deployment.

The final release date is subject to change, as it will be determined by the testing outcomes and any Drupal security advisories. The date will be confirmed when the distribution is released and the release notes expected to be sent on Monday 3 April 2023.

As a reminder, a SaaS deployment block is in place ONLY while we update the production branches. During this time, you will still be able to develop and deploy to non-production feature branches. We are wanting to give you as much lead time as possible, should you need to adjust your timeframes.

Tentative deployment schedule:
- Deployment to commence from 5am Tuesday 4 April 2023 and will be conducted throughout the daytime and into the evening.
- Production branches completed by 10am Wednesday 5 April 2023
- Non-Production branches completed by 10am Thursday 6 April 2023

❗ IMPORTANT NOTICE 1: deployments during maintenance window
- During the scheduled maintenance window, ALL D9 SaaS deployments will be blocked while we deploy to the D9 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.
