### Stable BOA-5.5.0-pro - Full Edition
### Date: Sat 26 Oct 2024 09:49:51 AM PDT in Santa Clara
###
@=> New BOA-5.5.0 PRO Release – Thank You for Your Support!
We're thrilled to introduce BOA-5.5.0 PRO, our latest release and the third
under our new branch structure and dual licensing model.
This PRO release brings the project fully in sync with the DEV branch,
which has been actively developed over the past several months, incorporating
nearly 400 commits since BOA-5.4.0.
BOA-5.5.0 PRO also comes equipped with 26 Aegir-ready platforms, supporting
either Drupal core alone or various popular Drupal distributions—seven of
which are new! These platforms include options like Commerce, DXPR Marketing,
EzContent, farmOS, LocalGov, OpenCulturas, OpenFed, OpenLucius, Opigno LMS,
Sector, Social, Thunder, Ubercart, and Varbase.

### Stable BOA-5.4.0-pro - Full Edition
### Date: Wed 14 Aug 2024 06:24:03 AM AEST in Sydney
###
@=> New BOA PRO Release & Comparison with LTS and DEV Branches
We are excited to announce the release of BOA-5.4.0 PRO and BOA-5.4.0 LTS,
marking the second release under our new branch structure and dual licensing
model, which began with BOA-5.2.0.
These new PRO and LTS versions bring the project fully up to date with the
DEV branch, which has been actively developed over the past several months.
As always, this announcement highlights only the most significant new features,
critical fixes, and improvements. For a detailed list of all changes,
please refer to the commit history.
@=> New Features
* Simplify and speed up BOA install/upgrades -- please check all details in
the updated and greatly improved documentation:
docs/INSTALL.md
docs/UPGRADE.md
docs/SELFUPGRADE.md
docs/MAJORUPGRADE.md
* AppArmor BOA integration for more strict system protection (needs docs)
* Barracuda install without Octopus is now possible -- docs/INSTALL.md
* Enable instant php-cli version switch for Aegir backend -- docs/DRUSH.md
* Improve Ruby Gems and Node/NPM security and speed x3 -- docs/GEM.md
* Let's Encrypt for Aegir Hostmaster installed automatically -- docs/SSL.md
* Let's Encrypt Live Mode is enabled by default -- docs/SSL.md
* Add three manual backup modes in Aegir (incomplete feature at the moment)
* New Relic support with Octopus/Platform/Site Config -- docs/NEWRELIC.md
* Restore _AEGIR_UPGRADE_ONLY {aegir} as supported barracuda upgrade mode
* Restore {aegir|platforms|both} as supported octopus upgrade modes
* Security Considerations for Multi-Ægir Systems -- docs/SECURITY.md
* Use /root/.deny.clamav.cnf to auto-disable clamav if installed
* Use /root/.deny.java.cnf to auto-disable Solr and Jetty if not used
* Drush 12 in Aegir Tasks: Dynamically Utilize Site-Local Drush for
the updatedb Operations on Drupal 10+ (needs docs).
For now here is a brief explanation on how it works:
# Both Migrate and Clone tasks in Aegir by default run the updatedb
with Aegir own Drush 8 in the final deploy internal procedure.
# This may cause unexpected issues in Drupal 10 and newer versions, so
we have added a switch which allows you to tell Aegir to skip running
`updatedb` on Drupal 10+ -- either globally with empty control file
~/static/control/DisAutoUpDb.info or per site with empty control file
~/static/control/sitename_DisAutoUpDb.info where `sitename` is the site
main domain name used in its Drush alias. You could then unlock the
Site-Local Drush and run it manually with `vdrush` in the platform
app root (not web root) to better control what happens on `updatedb`
using command: `vdrush @site-alias updatedb`
# Automatic mode does it even better for Drupal 10+ Here's how it works,
given no control file listed above exists:
1. Platform Verify task locks Site-Local Drush and patches Drupal core.
2. If the site is migrated to different platform or cloned to different
platform, Aegir will check if **both old and new** platforms have
the Site-Local Drush in their codebases.
3. If Site-Local Drush is detected in both platforms Aegir will unlock
Drush in both platforms, will also revert the Drupal core patch it
normally needs to use its own Drush 8.
4. Now Aegir will run the Site-Local Drush for `updatedb` command and
will report all details in the task log in the admin interface.
5. Once the `updatedb` is complete, Aegir will automatically apply
the Drupal core patch again and will lock Site-Local Drush, so you
could run any other tasks in the control panel as usual. Magic!

@=> New BOA LTS Release & Comparison with PRO and DEV Branches
We are excited to announce the release of the latest BOA LTS version,
marking the first LTS release since the introduction of our new branch
structure and dual licensing model, which began with the BOA-5.2.0 release.

### 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.
Please make sure to read updated docs/INSTALL.txt and docs/UPGRADE.txt

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

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.

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.
