❗ 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.
Upcoming Preview After the GovCMS 2.28.0 release and deployments to production and non-production, the preview branches will be updated to include this release. Noting this update includes the D10 compatibility for the linkit module, this will allow you to continue testing CKEditor 5. The sooner we know how Drupal Core 9.5 and CKEditor 5 affect your website the better. The preview timeframe will be extended to 14 April 2023.
Information for PaaS customers - If you use the GovCMS D9 distribution, you should aim to apply this update to your distribution as soon as possible. - Updated files will be available from https://github.com/govCMS/GovCMS/releases/tag/2.28.0
