Version 4.0.11

Released: July 07, 2021

Status: Stable

Changes

API

The id field was added as a sortable field to all the API endpoints that have ordering enabled.

Docker

The wait.sh file was replaced with a Python alternative that can wait on network ports or PostgreSQL directly as a client.

supervisord was upgraded from Debian buster version 3.3.5-1 to Debian bullseye version 4.2.2-2. This version uses Python3 and was the last dependency that required installing Python2 in the Docker image.

Documentation

Switch deployment instructions to use venv instead of virtualenv. The direct deployment and the Docker image now use the same Python virtual environment alternative.

Documents

Updated the date time copy code from migration document:0063 to work with databases that store time zone information and those that don't.

GitLab CI

Added support for using local or external PIP caches to build Docker images.

The GitLab CI upgrade tests now update a test document to populate the older version install and trigger more migration code paths.

Platform

Updated all shell usage from bash to sh. sh symlinks to dash in the Docker image. This also expands the usability of the supervisor file for direct deployments in more operating systems.

Improved the way the user_settings_folder variable was created. It now works correctly with MEDIA_ROOT paths that contain a trailing slash and those that don't.
