Changes

  • Replicated API version numbers are now always guaranteed to be equal to Replicated release version numbers. You can stop using replicated_api_version and rely on automatic updates.
  • In the support bundle, journalctl are now in reverse so that the newest log lines are never truncated.
  • All Replicated on-prem endpoints now require a header of Content-Type: application/json as an anti-CSRF measure.
  • Filesystem permissions for /var/lib/replicated and /var/run/replicated files are changed to be owned by the replicated user, instead of root when running the easy install script.
  • Statsd, graphite and premkit now inherit the user account from the Replicated container, instead of always running as root.
  • Start mounting /etc directory instead of several directories under /etc.
  • Reduced filesystem permissions on replicated.sock file to 0660.
  • Added sysconfig logs to the support bundle.
  • Support for custom installations where the images are already present, Replicated will not attempt to pull. This is useful for automated testing environments.

Bug Fixes

  • When rendering the console settings page, fields of type password are not included in the payload.
  • Changed restart policy from never to no because never is not supported in Docker 1.13.
  • Allow Replicated to use locally tagged images when normally tagged images do not exist
  • Improved error messages when the replicated-operator container experiences an error.
  • A release YAML that’s marked as required but has an invalid cmd field can no longer be skipped.
  • Fixed bug that could cause replicated-operator to not restart when an update to Replicated is automatically applied.
  • Fixed bug that made proxy settings in the console settings page not apply at runtime.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented a snapshot restore process from automatically advance the UI to the preflight checks.

Notes

  • Due to the listed change for anti-CSRF measures, after updating to 2.5.0, users will have to manually refresh the Replicated Admin Console browser tab.
