  • v2.7.3 Changes

    March 15, 2018

    General notes:

    • As with all patch releases this one does not include requirement changes. However in some scenarios you might encounter the following error while installing or upgrading this version of CKAN::

      Error: could not determine PostgreSQL version from '10.2'

    This is due to a bug in the psycopg2 version pinned to the release. To solve it, upgrade psycopg2 with the following command::

     pip install --upgrade psycopg2==2.8.2

    • This release does not require a Solr schema upgrade, but if you are having the issues described in #3863 (datasets wrongly indexed in multilingual setups), you can upgrade the Solr schema and reindex to solve them.

    • 3422 (implemented in #3425) introduced a major bug where if a resource was

      deleted and the DataStore was active extras from all resources on the site where changed. This is now fixed as part of this release but if your database is already affected you will need to run a script to restore the extras to their previous state. Remember, you only need to run the script if all the following are true:

    1. You are currently running CKAN 2.7.0 or 2.7.2, and
    2. You have enabled the DataStore, and
    3. One or more resources with data on the DataStore have been deleted (or you suspect they might have been)

    If all these are true you can run the following script to restore the extras to their previous state:

    • Font Awesome has been upgraded from version 3.2.1 to 4.0.3 .Please refer to https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/wiki/Upgrading-from-3.2.1-to-4 to upgrade your code accordingly if you are using custom themes.

    🗄 Deprecations:

    • The API versions 1 and 2 (also known as the REST API, ie /api/rest/* will removed in favour of the version 3 (action API, /api/action/*), which was introduced in CKAN 2.0. The REST API will be removed on CKAN 2.8.
    • The default theme included in CKAN core will switch to use Bootstrap 3 instead of Bootstrap 2 in CKAN 2.8. The current Bootstrap 2 based templates will still be included in the next CKAN versions, so existing themes will still work. Bootstrap 2 templates will be eventually removed though, so instances are encouraged to update their themes using the available documentation (https://getbootstrap.com/migration/)
    • The activity stream related actions ending with *_list (eg package_activity_list) and *_html (eg package_activity_list_html) will be removed in CKAN 2.8 in favour of more efficient alternatives and are now deprecated.
    • The legacy revisions controller (ie /revisions/*) will be completely removed in CKAN 2.8.
    • The old Celery based background jobs will be removed in CKAN 2.8 in favour of the new RQ based jobs (http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/maintaining/background-tasks.html). Extensions can still of course use Celery but they will need to handle the management themselves.
