General

  • Notifications now use WebSockets instead of Flash. The bin/aphlict server has changed behavior slightly. For more information, see T6903.
  • Updated the appearance of some UI elements and icons, and adjusted the design of project and user profile pages.
  • Phabricator can now use another Phabricator instance as a login provider.
  • Application email (like a bugs@phabricator.company.com address that users can send mail to in order to create tasks) is now configured in application options.
  • Applications can have more than one mailing address, and Herald can execute rules based on which address mail was sent to.
  • Mentioning projects with #project will no longer automatically associate projects with an object.
  • Replaced perfectly satisfactory scrollbar with a bad, glitchy one.

Upgrading/Compatibility

  • Removed long-deprecated maniphest.find call. Use maniphest.query.
  • The scripts/repository/reparse.php script has moved to bin/repository reparse.
  • If you run the notification server, you may need to start it manually and make adjustments if it runs into errors.

Security

  • We received about 15 reports this month via HackerOne, but none represented actionable vulnerabilities.
  • The "GHOST" vulnerability was disclosed recently. It does not specifically impact Phabricator, but you should make sure your servers are up to date.

Almanac, Clusters and Instances

These changes support running a Phabricator cluster. Cluster configurations are still in a prototyping phase.

  • Added bin/almanac register for registering cluster devices.

  • Application policies can now be locked in configuration.
  • Added a "ClusterDatabase" Almanac service type.
  • Added support for routing HTTP, SSH and Conduit requests in a cluster configuration.
  • We now pass instance identity everywhere.

Phortune and Subscriptions

  • Implemented clock-based triggers for scheduling events.
  • Implemented subscriptions in Phortune, which allow applications to bill an account periodically. This capability is not yet used by any upstream application.

  • Added modern policy support.
  • Improved handling of secrets.
  • OAuth servers can now be destroyed.

  • Differential now supports defining a mail address where users can send diffs.
  • Made a handful of old queries properly policy-aware.
