These changes were promoted to stable.

General

  • This period includes major changes to Drydock. See "Drydock" below for details.
  • There are major changes to the garbage collectors. See notes in "Garbage Collection" below.

Security

  • No notes in this period.

Upgrading / Compatibility

  • There are major changes to garbage collection, including changes which impact upgrading installs. See notes in "Garbage Collection" below.
  • There is an upcoming mandatory migration from old Differential hunk storage to new Differential hunk storage. Installs with a large amount of data and a long history can avoid maintenance downtime by running this migration manually in advance of when it becomes mandatory. Follow T8623 for discussion.

Arcanist

  • Added a --target flag to arc unit for uploading test results.
  • The arc:prompt rule will now continue processing of other rules if the user enters no text.

Drydock

Drydock is a prototype application.

Drydock needs more work and isn't stable or unprototyped yet. You can follow progress in T9252 / T9123.

  • Drydock resources can now expire.
  • UI now shows releasing resources and leases.
  • Added an "awaken" mechanism to reduce time tasks spend sleeping in queue.
  • WorkingCopy resourcs can now have multiple working copies.
  • UI now shows lease owner.
  • Improved reset behavior when reusing working copy resources.
  • Drydock logs are now more structured.
  • Drydock logs are garbage collected.
  • Consolidated Drydock workers.
  • Added support for revisions to Drydock, via staging areas.
  • Wrote a bit of documentation.

Garbage Collection

You can now review available garbage collectors and their collection settings in the new ConfigGarbage Collectors panel.

There is a new article in the documentation discussing how to review, manage and configure garbage collectors: Managing Garbage Collection.

The way garbage collectors are configured has been rewritten so that Config isn't 90% garbage collection settings by 2017. Specifically, the old gcdaemon.ttl.* options have been removed, and collector policy is now configured with bin/garbage set-policy instead. All garbage collectors which have meaningful policy settings are now individually configurable.

NOTE: Settings are not preserved across this upgrade. After upgrading, you may want to review and adjust your garbage collector settings before starting the daemons. Once you start the daemons, your current settings will take effect.

See T9494 for some additional discussion.

These changes modify the PhabricatorGarbageCollector API, and any third-party garbage collectors will require minor adjustments.

Harbormaster

  • Builds can now have parameters, although this is not yet surfaced meaningfully in the UI.
  • The "Make HTTP Request" build step now explicitly accepts any 200 status code as success.

Minor

  • (stable; rP6d7b78f7) Fixed an issue where "Publish/Notify" in repositories was not respected.
  • Documented upstream usage of exit codes.
  • Improved exit code behavior of bin/search index.
  • Fixed an issue with mentioning usernames that collide with object names, like T123.
  • Diffusion no longer shows a "Revision" column if Differential is not installed for the viewer.
  • Updated quickstart.sql to reduce install / unit test times.
  • Ponder emails should now deliver a little more consistently.
  • Updated Asana login integration to use new logo.
  • Fixed up an old dashboard migration.
  • Improved Diffusion handling of commits which previously existed but have been removed (for example, by deleting a branch).
