What's coming in 7.5

[psifertex]

What's the best way to get alerts for the release of 7.5? Follow this thread? Or do I have to watch the main channel? Very much looking forward to redis 7for the chatwoot upgrade so trying to set up some monitoring to get alerted as soon as it's available.

We will announce it here and in the forum as always. Currently, we have started the end-to-end test phase, lets see what those tests find.

I have published 7.5.0 as unstable. It should be safe to be update but if you want to be ultra safe , I would wait a couple of days. The release upgrades docker so all apps will go down for a teeny bit.

Most of the features are not implemented yet, just getting this out for redis 7 . Discourse, Chatwoot and a few others depend on this and we didn't want to lag behind on app updates too much.

IMPORTANT: Do not upgrade if you are on Ubuntu 18.04. Turns out latest nodejs builds don't work on Ubuntu 18.04 - https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/42351 . If you want to upgrade, please update ubuntu first - https://docs.cloudron.io/guides/upgrade-ubuntu-20/ . We will put in a check in 7.5.1 to show a proper error.

I report a problem with Bunny.net

During a new installation (7.5.0) an error appears.

After the initial configuration, I changed from Manual to Bunny and it works without a problem.

network: trusted IPs

@girish I see that 7.5.0 has this in the changelog, does this mean that it'll now support a Nginx Proxy Manager in front of Cloudron? 🥳

[girish]

@alwynispat AFAIK, having a proxy in front should already work. What this does is to trust the IP address that is set by the proxy in front (X-Forwarded-For).

All good here!

I see 7.5.0 is out now, I just got the notification. I’ll look to update tonight. I was curious… I see spam learning being a topic in 7.5 but it wasn’t in the release notes of 7.5.0 that I saw. Is that coming later in another patch release or was that indeed addressed in 7.5.0?

[girish]

@d19dotca most of the features are not done. Only the mail privacy issue, oidc fixes ,redis 7 upgrade is done . We pushed this early since redis and oidc updates were blocking many apps.

I wonder - how good is 7.5 for production use? I can see that some of my instances are not updated automatically and I guess it's because it's not considered to be good for all use cases?

[girish]

7.5.0 is primarily out for people blocked on discourse and chatwoot. I would wait for a couple of weeks for 7.5.1 which will have many of the features implemented.

[potemkin_ai]

@girish thank you! If I don't use discource & chatwoot, everything else is expected to be fine? Or not really?

@girish said in What's coming in 7.5:

Add optional flag for turn addon.

This is implemented now - redis and turn can be optional (depending on the app).

@girish said in What's coming in 7.5:

Add check to indicate that Cloudron 7.6 will not support servers without AVX. This is required for MongoDB 6.0

This was added a while ago - https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/commit/df54ba3a0a7cadc5dff47da50915235a6166f860

The turn option is huge, thank you! I cannot wait to implement it. Is it in the 7.5.0 pre-release?

[humptydumpty]

@eganonoa I'm on 7.5.0 and don't have those options yet. It must be in 7.5.1 that's coming in the next week or the 7.6 release (no ETA yet).

(mail) Virtual all directory in dovecot for search

This is implemented now. You can read the blog post on our investigation at https://blog.cloudron.io/email-search-in-mail-clients/ . If you use any other email clients, let me know happy to add it to that blog.

Nice write up!

[swheeler78]

When will 7.5 be considered GA / stable? Been out for a couple of weeks now but still says pre-release.

[girish]

@swheeler78 the code went through a major rewrite, so we are giving it more time. Our e2e passed yesterday, we will do a round of manual testing coming week and release 7.5.1 as stable.
