Upgrade Notes

  • IMPORTANT! We now depend on Xapian 1.4, which means you may need to
    convert your flint database to a chert database prior to upgrading Alaveteli.
    See: https://getting-started-with-xapian.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced/admin_notes.html#converting-a-flint-database-to-a-chert-database)
  • IMPORTANT! We no longer support PostgreSQL 9.4. Please upgrade to 9.6
    before upgrading Alaveteli. See: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/release-9-6.html
  • NOTE: This release will be the last to support Ruby 2.3 and 2.4. Please
    consider upgrading to either 2.6. See: https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2020/03/31/ruby-2-6-6-released/
  • Run bundle exec rake temp:identify_broken_binary_censor_rules to generate
    a list of requests which should be manually checked to ensure censor rules are
    applied correctly.
  • The Google Analytics code has been extracted into
    views/application/_ga_code.html.erb, and to avoid the GDPR requirement to
    show cookie opt-in notices, now sets cookie-less tracking. Additionally, we
    are instructing Google to anonymise visitors IP address using the
    anonymizeIp option. This means that visitors are no longer individually
    profiled. If you wish to continue individually targeting users, you'll need
    to override app/views/application/_ga_code.html.erb in your theme and set
    appropriate options.
  • There are some database structure updates so remember to run
    bundle exec rails db:migrate
