Actions

Summary of changes from October 20, 2018 to October 27, 2018.

• These changes were promoted to stable.

General

• No notes in this period.

Security

• Fixed an escaping issue with a subcommand on Mercurial workflows involving changes to binary files. There is no known way to turn this into a practical attack, but the behavior was unsafe.

Migrations

"Duration" is the duration for this install, and may not be representative.

Upgrading / Compatibility

• [] bin/drydock lease --attributes ... now accepts a file name, not a list of attributes. The file should contain an attributes specification in JSON. You can use - to read from stdin. Some leases (like working copies) require more complex attributes than the x=y syntax could support.
• [] In Drydock, Almanac blueprints no longer allocate new leases on resources with disabled binidngs.

Minor

• [] Fixed a Java syntax highlighter issue with escaped double quotes.
• [] Drydock can now build empty working copies without encountering an error on git reset --hard HEAD.
• [] When a Drydock lease triggers a resource reclaim, the lease is now awakened after the reclaim completes.
• [] When a Drydock lease triggers a resource recliam, it can no longer trigger a second reclaim until the first one completes.
• [] When a Drydock lease triggers a resource allocation and the resource must subsequently activate, the lease is now awakened after the activation compeletes.
• [] Added a drydock.lease.search Conduit API method.
• [] Fixed a bad error string in bin/phd log --id ... with an invalid ID.
• [] transaction.search now returns more information about Audit transactions.
