Upgrade Notes

  • This release drops support for Ruby 1.9.x. If you are using Ubuntu Trusty you
    will need to install a newer ruby version either using a ruby environment
    manager like rbenv or
    by installing the ruby2.1 (and ruby2.1-dev) or ruby2.3 (and ruby2.3-dev)
    Ubuntu packages from Brightbox.
    (If you are setting up a fresh Trusty box using our script, the 2.1 Brightbox
    package is supplied.)

  • Please note that this release removes support for Ubuntu Precise as it has
    reached End of Life and will no longer receive security patches. If you are
    running Alaveteli on Ubuntu Precise, you should upgrade your OS to
    Ubuntu Trusty before upgrading to this release. This
    Ubuntu upgrade guide
    can guide you through the process. If you have
    questions about upgrading OS, please don't hesitate to ask on the
    alaveteli-dev group.

  • Please note that this release also removes support for Debian Wheezy as it
    only packages Ruby 1.9.3. If you are running Alaveteli on Debian Wheezy, you
    should upgrade your OS to Debian Jessie before upgrading to this release. This
    Debian upgrade guide
    can guide you through the process. If you have questions about upgrading OS,
    please don't hesitate to ask on the alaveteli-dev group.

  • This release removes the use of purge requests to Varnish. Please make sure
    your site works with VARNISH_HOST empty before upgrading.

  • There's a new temp task that can be used to recache any attachments whose
    content has slightly changed (e.g. due to an upgrade in the mail gem that
    alters e.g the trailing space on attachment bodies). You can run it with
    bundle exec rake temp:populate_missing_attachment_files if you're seeing
    No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen errors from foi_attachment.rb.

  • There are some database structure updates so remember to rake db:migrate
