3.9.2-52
Merged 27th Jan 2020
Released 28th Jan 2020
I am glad to announce our slightly late Chinese New Year release by way of a fresh installment to our Stable Channel updates.
We have no first time contributors this time and this release includes the following fixes / improvements from myself and our prolific form moderator @Flox :
- [Config Backup & Restore] Implement backup and restore of rock-ons. Fixes #2065 @Flox
- improve/add update channel/appman related text and doc links. Fixes #2106 @phillxnet
- revise donate menu item within Web-UI. Fixes #2104 @phillxnet @Flox
- pin django-braces to restore django version compatibility. Fixes #2102 @phillxnet
None are openSUSE specific this time, which is rare these days and probably a good sign.
The major improvement / feature-add in this release is @Flox’s addition of Rock-ons to our config save and restore. Intended primarily for use when transitioning a pool from one machine to another. This is a long desired and request feature that we finally have in place. Both @Flox and I have tested this feature for moving a config and pool from a CentOS Stable Channel rpm install to our still very much in early alpha testing “Build on openSUSE” rpm offering for Leap15.1 in our Testing Channel.
Thanks to all our Stable channel subscribers for helping to keep the lights on.
If you have a Stable channel updates subscription and do not see this update available please check your subscription status and relevant Appliance ID via our recently available ‘self service’ *Appman facility: https://appman.rockstor.com/
If all looks well and you are still not offered this update then please PM me on the forum with your current Appliance ID and I will look to what the problem may be. There is a known issue for a small subset of our subscribers which I can only sort if contacted.
Also note that if you had/have updated from our now legacy CentOS testing channel your system may not actually be running what it indicates. This bug does not affect systems that have never been on the testing channel. “yum info rockstor” to confirm your installed version for sure.
