Cloudron Source & Release Notes

[uwcrbc]

Hi all,

It seems as Cloudron v8.1 is being pre-release with the following release notes:

Because this list seems to differ somewhat from the "What's coming in 8.1" forum post, I wanted to take a closer look to the release notes and note the differences, see what made the cut off and what has not.
However I seem to struggle to locate release notes for it.
Are these publicly available (I mean other then the popup when triggering the release)? If so, where to find them?

Furthermore, in the process of looking for these release notes, and while I know Cloudron is "source available", I could not find the actual source anywhere.
The following page makes mention of Cloudron Gitlab instance where one can find the app package sources, but I wasn't able to find the "Cloudron code" as mentioned here:

Am I looking in the right place ?

Any help is much appreciated.

In all case, many thanks for this further release.

@uwcrbc the repos have moved a bit in last few weeks. We are moving all the app packages into the CI for automated and reproducible builds. I will make a separate post later this week explaining what we have done (it's mostly only technical and probably interesting to a fellow developers but not for cloudron users themselves). In the past, we were quite careless with how people registered and were given permissions. But anyway, to answer your question until that post pops up: we have made a few groups.

Cloudron code base - https://git.cloudron.io/platform
App packages - https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron
For doc repos - https://git.cloudron.io/docs
Unpublished apps, tools, testing stuff etc - https://git.cloudron.io/playground

The repos will most likely not get re-orged further but I will put the final org in my post.

yes, good catch. I will rename that post to 8.2 . We introduced many regressions in Cloudron 8.0. So, we made a 8.1 for mostly bug fixes and some minor features like OIDC group support.

@girish Great - This makes sense. Indeed I got the feeling that a few things were changing recently (Website, pricing tiers, repo - for the better I find!). It is like Cloudron is gearing up for the next stage and it feels good to see.

Possibly I think it would also make sense to update the open source website page to reflect these repo changes.

Ah, I understand better now v8.1 vs v8.2. Thanks for this.

Am I right in thinking that the OIDC button branding did not make it into this release?
We are waiting for this for a few apps releases...

Also, just to confirm: is there any official place one show look for a complete set of release notes other than in a Forum/Blog post?

Thanks again.

@uwcrbc the branding change in platform side is quite easy. The env var is injected already with https://git.cloudron.io/platform/box/-/commit/daa8a60da282fc3c8bbccd4b2b1a4920c2b06812 . But the apps have to be updated. I think we should have this feature in 8.2, yes.

And yes, the forum or the blog is the best place. Usually, we announce it here only when it's "stable" . Otherwise, there is a frenzy to update and we don't want to hose things if it was not so stable.
