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

Upgrading / Compatibility

This migration adds PHIDs to "DifferentialChangeset" objects to support the new differential.changeset.search API method. A rough estimate of the cost of this migration is 5 minutes per million changesets. You can figure out how many changesets you have with:

mysql> SELECT MAX(id) FROM phabricator_differential.differential_changeset;

For example: if you have 12,000,000 changesets, this migration may take about 60 minutes to apply. The migration can be deferred or run online, but doing so is complex; contact support if you administrate a large install and want more guidance.

Minor

• [] Added a differential.changeset.search Conduit API method. See T13605.
• [] Added more constraints to harbormaster.target.search: createdStart, createdEnd, startedStart, startedEnd, completedStart, completedEnd, statuses. See T13607.
• [] When rebuilding Ferret search engine indexes, IDs are now used less wastefully. The old strategy could lead to ID exhaustion of a 32-bit ID after many reindexes on large installs. See T13587.
• Added new flags to bin/search index: --version, --min-index-date, --max-index-date. These flags are mostly intended to simplify cleanup if issues are later identified with the previous change.
• Fixed an issue where the Remarkup hyperlink rule could take a very long time to fail to find matches in long inputs. See T13608.
• [] Added more Harbormaster build variables: buildable.object.phid, buildable.container.phid, buildable.phid, and build.phid. See T13609.
• Fixed an issue with Facebook OAuth and the "security_settings" property. See T13615. This has probably been broken for quite a while without anyone noticing, so Facebook OAuth may be removed in a future version of Phabricator if no users crawl out of the woodwork.
