### Stable BOA-5.2.0 - Full Edition
### Date: Wed 03 Apr 2024 02:11:56 PM CEST in Warsaw
###
@=> Notes on new available BOA branches and licenses
BOA is available in three main branches, but only LTS for installation:
* LTS which remains completely free to use without any kind of license
as it was from the beginning (previously named HEAD or STABLE).
This branch should be considered as BOA LTS with slow updates, focused
on both security and bug fixes, but very limited new features additions.
* DEV which requires paid license for both install and upgrade and includes
the latest features, security and bug fixes and installed services versions.
This branch shouldn't be used in production without extensive testing.
* PRO which requires paid license and is available only as an upgrade
from either LTS or DEV (or previous HEAD/STABLE) is the branch with regular
monthly or bi-monthly releases, closely following tested DEV branch.
Once you install BOA LTS and want to upgrade to PRO with license obtained
from https://omega8.cc/licenses you will need to use up-pro command.
Once you install BOA LTS or PRO and want to upgrade to DEV with license
from https://omega8.cc/licenses you will need to use up-dev command.
Old commands using in-head, in-stable, up-head and up-stable no longer work
to avoid confusion and have been replaced with in-lts and up-lts in all
installation and upgrade scripts.

### Stable BOA-4.1.3 Release - Full Edition
### Date: Thu Sep 24 18:51:49 CEST 2020
### Milestone URL: https://github.com/omega8cc/boa/milestones/4.1.3
# Release Notes:
This BOA release is a second transitional release before switching to rolling
release policy. Detailed changelog will follow.
This BOA update provides latest PHP versions, system updates, including
security fixes, many bug fixes, latest Aegir version ..but no Aegir platforms
are installed by default anymore, unless their keywords are listed in the file
~/static/control/platforms.info (please read further below for details)
TL;DR
* Yes, blazing fast site clone/migrate mode is available even for giant sites!
* Yes, BOA still supports Pressflow 6 (LTS version only!)
* No, we no longer install any supported distros as platforms by default.
@=> Super fast site cloning and migration mode (NEW!)
It is now possible to enable blazing fast migrations and cloning even sites
with complex and giant databases with this empty control file:
~/static/control/MyQuick.info
By the way, how fast is the super-fast? It's faster than you would expect!
We have seen it speeding up the clone and migrate tasks normally taking
1-2 hours to... even 3-6 minutes! Yes, that's how fast it's!
This file, if exists, will enable a super fast per table and parallel DB
dump and import, although without leaving a conventional complete database
dump file in the site archive normally created by Aegir when you run
not only the backup task, but also clone, migrate and delete tasks, hence
also restore task will not work anymore.
We need to emphasise this again: with this control file present all normally
super slow tasks will become blazing fast, but at the cost of not keeping
an archived complete database dump file in the archive of the site directory
where it would be otherwise included.
Of course the system still maintains nightly backups of all your sites
using the new split sql dump archives, but with this control file present
you won't be able to use restore task in Aegir, because the site archive
won't include the database dump -- you can still find that sql dump split
into per table files in the backups directory, though, in the subdirectory
with timestamp added, so you can still access it manually, if needed.
@=> Drupal platforms and Composer support
We no longer install any supported Drupal distros as platforms by default, but
you can customize Octopus platform list via control file, which will be used
on the next Octopus upgrade (you can request it individually if you are on
hosted Aegir service):
~/static/control/platforms.info
This file, if exists and contains a list of symbols used to define supported
platforms, allows to control/override the value of _PLATFORMS_LIST variable
normally defined in the /root/.${_USER}.octopus.cnf file, which can't be
modified by the Aegir instance owner with no system root access.
IMPORTANT: If used, it will replace/override the value defined on initial
instance install and all previous upgrades. It takes effect on every future
Octopus instance upgrade, which means that you will miss all newly added
distributions, if they will not be listed also in this control file.
Supported values which can be written in this file, listed in a single line
or one per line:
Drupal 9 based
THR ----------- Thunder
Drupal 8 based
LHG ----------- Lightning
OPG ----------- Opigno LMS
SOC ----------- Social
VBE ----------- Varbase
Drupal 7 based
D7P D7S D7D --- Drupal 7 prod/stage/dev
AGV ----------- aGov
CME ----------- Commerce v.2
CS7 ----------- Commons
DCE ----------- Commerce v.1
GDR ----------- Guardr
OA7 ----------- OpenAtrium
OAD ----------- OpenAid
OLS ----------- OpenLucius
OOH ----------- OpenOutreach
OPC ----------- OpenPublic
OPO ----------- Opigno LMS
PPY ----------- Panopoly
RST ----------- Restaurant
UC7 ----------- Ubercart
Drupal 6 based
D6P D6S D6D --- Pressflow (LTS) prod/stage/dev
DCS ----------- Commons
UCT ----------- Ubercart
You can also use special keyword 'ALL' instead of any other symbols to have
all available platforms installed, including newly added in all future BOA
system releases.
Examples:
ALL
LHG VBE D7P D7S D7D
Composer will now use PHP 7.3 by default, and you can find many useful hints at:
https://github.com/omega8cc/boa/blob/master/docs/COMPOSER.txt
IMPORTANT: You must switch your ~/static/control/cli.info to 7.2 or newer
PHP version (BOA hosted on Omega8.cc comes with 7.4, 7.3 and 7.2), because
D8 based distros require at least PHP 7.2 -- this also means that to run
the sites installed after switching cli.info to 7.2 or newer, you will also
need to either switch your ~/static/control/fpm.info to 7.2 or newer, or
more probably, to not break any existing sites not compatible with PHP 7.2+
you will need to list these D8 sites names in ~/static/control/multi-fpm.info
Please check for more information:
https://learn.omega8.cc/how-to-quickly-switch-php-to-newer-version-330
BOA supports Drupal 8 codebases both with classic directory structure like
in Drupal 7 and also Drupal 8 distros you can download from Drupal.org, but
if you use Composer based codebase with different structure, the platform path
is not the codebase root directory, but the subdirectory where you see the
Drupal own index.php and "core" subdirectory. It can be platform-name/web or
platform-name/docroot or something similar depending on the distro design.
### Stable BOA-4.1.2 Release - Full Edition
### Date: Tue Sep 22 05:30:08 CEST 2020
### Milestone URL: https://github.com/omega8cc/boa/milestones/4.1.2
# Release Notes:
This BOA release is a transitional release before switching to rolling
release policy. Detailed changelog will follow.
### Stable BOA-4.0.1 Release - Full Edition
### Date: Mon May 6 01:14:59 CEST 2019
### Milestone URL: https://github.com/omega8cc/boa/milestones/4.0.1
# Release Notes:
This BOA release provides three new PHP versions, system updates, including
security fixes, many bug fixes, latest Aegir version, plus all included
Drupal distributions updated to latest versions, and supplied with latest
Drupal 7 or Drupal 8 core, if possible. Yes, BOA still supports Pressflow 6.
Yes, Debian Stretch is supported. No newer Ubuntu releases are supported yet.
Yes, we have added Solr 7 support and every 5 minutes updates!
Four Drupal 8 based popular distributions have been included by default,
plus much improved Composer support and automatic permissions-fix-magic
on Platform and Site Verify tasks. No more manual fixes!
By the way, Composer will now use PHP 7.3 by default, and you can find
many useful hints at:
https://github.com/omega8cc/boa/blob/master/docs/COMPOSER.txt
Big improvements and changes are coming to (auto)managing Solr cores too!
Solr cores are are now created every 5 minutes if needed, instead of during
the nightly procedure only, and Solr 7 is used by default. Existing Solr 4
cores will continue to work as before, but the system will create new Solr 7
cores for all compatible sites, and will update the sites/foo.com/solr.php
accordingly. For existing Solr 4 cores there can be namespace conflicts,
so please make sure to check the updated sites/foo.com/solr.php file and
adjust your site configuration if needed.
Note: If you are using WinSCP and/or Putty on Windows, or Transmit/Coda
by Panic on a Mac, please check the Known Issues section at the bottom of this
BOA-4.0.1 release notes.
@=> Solr 7 and Solr 4 support changes and improvements
Both Solr 7 and Solr 4 powered by Jetty 9 server are available. Supported
integration modules are limited to latest versions of either search_api_solr
(D8/Solr7 and D7/Solr7 ) or apachesolr (D7/Solr4 and D6/Solr4).
Currently supported versions are listed below:
https://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/search_api_solr-8.x-2.7.tar.gz
https://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/search_api_solr-7.x-1.14.tar.gz
https://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/apachesolr-7.x-1.11.tar.gz
https://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/apachesolr-6.x-3.1.tar.gz
Note that you still need to add preferred integration module along with
any its dependencies in your codebase since this feature doesn't modify
your platform or site - it only creates Solr core with configuration
files provided by integration module: schema.xml and solrconfig.xml etc.
Important: search_api_solr-8.x-2.x is different from all previous versions,
as it requires Composer to install the module and its dependencies, then
you will need to configure it, and only then you will be able to generate
customized Solr core config files, which you should upload in the path:
sites/foo.com/files/solr/ and wait 5-10 minutes to have them activated
on the Solr 7 core the system will create for you.
This will affect the running every 5 minutes auto-installer, hence
no need to wait until next morning to be able to use new Solr core. Win!
Once the Solr core is ready to use, you will find a special file in your
site directory: sites/foo.com/solr.php with details on how to access
your new Solr core with correct credentials.
Side note: the sites/foo.com/solr.php will be automatically deleted on every
site Verify task in Aegir, to prevent copying it across with incorrect
access credentials when you clone the site. As soon as the site is verified,
its sites/foo.com/solr.php will get re-created automatically within 5-10 min.
and the cloned site will also get its own Solr core created.
For more details please check the docs at:
https://github.com/omega8cc/boa/blob/master/docs/SOLR.txt
@=> Drupal 8.7.0 platforms and Composer support
Since BOA-4.0.1 new Drupal 8.7.0 based platforms are included:
Lightning 3.3.0 -------------- https://drupal.org/project/lightning
Thunder 8.2.39 --------------- https://drupal.org/project/thunder
Varbase 8.6.8 ---------------- https://drupal.org/project/varbase
Social 8.5.1 (8.6.15 core) --- https://drupal.org/project/social
IMPORTANT: You must switch your ~/static/control/cli.info to 7.1 or newer
PHP version (BOA hosted on Omega8.cc comes with 7,1, 7.2 and 7.3), because
D8 based distros require at least PHP 7.1 -- this also means that to run
the sites installed after switching cli.info to 7.1 or newer, you will also
need to either switch your ~/static/control/fpm.info to 7.1 or newer, or
more probably, to not break any existing sites not compatible with PHP 7.1+
you will need to list these D8 sites names in ~/static/control/multi-fpm.info
Please check for more information:
https://learn.omega8.cc/how-to-quickly-switch-php-to-newer-version-330
BOA supports Drupal 8 codebases both with classic directory structure like
in Drupal 7 and also Drupal 8 distros you can download from Drupal.org, but
if you use Composer based codebase with different structure, the platform path
is not the codebase root directory, but the subdirectory where you see the
Drupal own index.php and "core" subdirectory. It can be platform-name/web or
platform-name/docroot or something similar depending on the distro design.
As you have discovered if you have already tried, the path you should use
in Aegir when adding Composer based codebase as a platform is the directory
where index.php resides, so effectively anything above that directory is not
available for web requests and thus safely protected.
The information from Aegir project docs saying "When verifying a platform,
Aegir runs composer install if a composer.json file is found." doesn't apply
to BOA. We have disabled this. There are several reasons, most importantly:
a/ having this feature enabled is actually against the codebase management
workflow in Aegir, because it may modify codebase on a live site,
b/ some tasks launch verify many times during clone and migrate, which
results with giant overhead and conflicts if we allowed it to run composer
install many times in parallel,
c/ from our experience, having this poorly implemented feature enabled breaks
clone and migration tasks between platforms when both have the composer.json
file. It just doesn't make any sense in our opinion. The implementation
should be improved to make it actually work similarly to Drush Makefiles.
You should think about Composer like it was Drush Make replacement, and you
should not re-build nor upgrade the codebase on a platform with sites already
hosted. Just use it to build new codebases and then add them as platforms
when the build works without errors.
@=> Important PHP versions availability changes
Still on PHP 5.6? You should switch to PHP 7.3 — It’s twice as fast as 5.6!
But don't switch blindly -- even sites already running on PHP 7.0 before
are most probably not ready for PHP 7.2 or 7.3 without proper fixes.
Note: BOA-4.0.1 release removes PHP 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5, if installed.
In addition to still supported, even if officially deprecated 5.6 and 7.0
versions, this release adds support for PHP 7.3, 7.2 and 7.1
Please check the PHP officially supported versions list at:
http://php.net/supported-versions.php
In our limited testing Drupal 7 core version included in this release works
without noticeable issues with both PHP 7.2 and 7.3, although many contrib
modules may not be ready to switch your instance to 7.3 or 7.2 just yet,
especially if you have not used PHP 7.0 already.
We recommend to test your sites clones with newer PHP versions using BOA
multi-PHP-version support via ~/static/control/multi-fpm.info before
switching your instance to use 7.3 or 7.2 by default.
Please check for more information:
https://learn.omega8.cc/how-to-quickly-switch-php-to-newer-version-330
We still include Pressflow 6 platforms, because in the meantime the LTS
community support made the latest Pressflow 6 version compatible with PHP 7.2
If you still have a reason to use Drupal 6 core, we recommend to use
our version: https://github.com/omega8cc/pressflow6/tree/pressflow-plus
@=> BOA release policy changes
In over 15 months since BOA-3.2.2 release we have tested a more agile
approach with Rolling Release policy for BOA system part known as Barracuda.
We have implemented many changes and updates only in BOA HEAD and used
carefully tested HEAD in production. This worked flawlessly and allowed us
to keep all BOA hosted and maintained systems continuosly updated without
waiting for stable release.
BOA project is very complex, build atop of many packages and individually
built from sources components, plus other projects like Aegir, Drush and
Drupal core and distributions -- each of them with their own release policy.
After years of efforts to keep healthy balance between providing necessary
upgrades and avoiding BOA users maintenance fatigue due to frequent releases,
which usually results with skipping releases which has many adverse effects,
including requirement to keep new versions backward compatible with 2-3 years
old releases, we have decided that it's time to introduce Rolling Release
policy for Barracuda while still using standard point releases policy for
Octopus installer, which covers Aegir, Drush and Drupal platforms updates.
We will still use point releases for Barracuda when there will be major
changes introduced, like deprecating old PHP versions or changing components
like Let's Encrypt integration agents or methods.
BOA project docs will be updated to reflect these changes once another
standard point release is made either for Octopus, Barracuda or both.
The docs will explain how to run Barracuda system continuous updates properly.

* Existing Solr 4 cores may experience namespace conflicts.
Please make sure to check the updated sites/foo.com/solr.php file
and adjust your site configuration if needed.
* Error decoding SFTP packet -- affects WinSCP/Putty
We recommend to use CybderDuck for reliable SFTP access.
For known fix please check https://bit.ly/2HMGd6u -- quote below:
>>>>>
Basically we need to set the ‘Preferred SFTP protocol version’ to 3.
How to do this:
Edit the connection in WinSCP
Open the Advanced menu
Choose Advanced
This will bring up a new popup.
Under Environment click on SFTP
Change ‘Preferred SFTP protocol version’ to 3
Save the changes.
>>>>>
* SFTP connection doesn't work with Transmit nor Coda by Panic software.
We have not figured out the workaround yet, so we recommend using
working alternatives on a Mac, like Cyberduck or ForkLift.
* The filefield_nginx_progress module, which is deprecated for years,
no longer works and breaks upload fields. The module has been removed
from the supported modules list, and will be automatically disabled
if active in any D7 site daily, so we recommend to use the current
similar alternative (even if not so fancy) included now by default:

### Stable BOA-3.2.2 Release - Full Edition
### Date: Sat Jan 20 11:03:34 PST 2018
### Milestone URL: https://github.com/omega8cc/boa/milestones/3.2.2
# Release Notes:
This BOA release provides system security upgrades, many bug fixes,
latest Aegir version, plus all supported Drupal distributions updated
to latest versions, and supplied with latest Drupal 7 core, if possible.
Thanks to Drush 8.1.15-dev we support also the newest Drupal 8.4.4 core.
@=> Important changes planned in the next BOA feature release
BOA-3.2.2 is the last release still supporting PHP 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 versions.
These versions will be *removed* in the next release, and instead
there will be support for PHP 7.1 and 7.2 added.
Future releases will no longer include Pressflow 6 platforms, but Pressflow 6
will be fully supported, and can still use PHP 5.6 -- We recommend to use
our version: https://github.com/omega8cc/pressflow6/tree/pressflow-plus

@=> Drupal 6 vanilla core is deprecated starting with BOA-3.2.1
Drupal 6 vanilla core is no longer supported. It was never really supported,
but could still work. Those running Drupal 6 instead of supported Pressflow 6
will notice that their site displays only the homepage and all links/menus
no longer display expected content. This change is a result of new rewrite
in the Nginx configuration, required to properly support both Drupal 8 and
Drupal 7. Time to migrate to latest, included in this release, Pressflow 6!
