Version 3.0.2

Released: August 16, 2018

Changes

This bug fix release also includes a few tweaks to improve user experience.

Docker install script

  • Default to verbose.
  • Increase startup timer from 5 to 10 seconds to give more time to users to examine the settings of the installation to be performed.
  • Add support for configuring the PostgreSQL port. Useful when there are existing PostgreSQL installations.
  • Docker install script: Detect if Docker installed and provide help text if not.

Documentation

Add deployment step that configures Redis to discard unused task data when it runs out of memory. Redis is only used for volatile data therefore configuring it to discard data doesn't affect functionality but increases response time and reduced memory consumption.

The default timeout for gunicorn has been increased from from 30 to 120 seconds.

The code statistics and pending work chapters have been removed from the documentation. The pending work list has been divided into a pending and a planned feature list and moved to the new Wiki at wiki.mayan-edms.com

Builds

Limit the number of branches that trigger the full test suit. Makes better use of the amount of free continuous integration available in GitLab.
