StackStorm v3.6.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2021-10-29 // over 2 years ago

  • ➕ Added

    
* ➕ Added possibility to add new values to the KV store via CLI without leaking them to the shell history. #5164

* 🔧 ``st2.conf`` is now the only place to configure ports for ``st2api``, ``st2auth``, and ``st2stream``.

  We replaced the static ``.socket`` sytemd units in deb and rpm packages with a python-based generator for the
  ``st2api``, ``st2auth``, and ``st2stream`` services. The generators will get ``<ip>:<port>`` from ``st2.conf``
  to create the ``.socket`` files dynamically. #5286 and st2-packages#706

🔄 Changed
    • Modified action delete API to delete action files from disk along with backward compatibility.

    From CLI st2 action delete <pack>.<action> will delete only action database entry. From CLI st2 action delete --remove-files <pack>.<action> or st2 action delete -r <pack>.<action> will delete action database entry along with files from disk.

    API action DELETE method with {"remove_files": true} argument in json body will remove database entry of action along with files from disk. API action DELETE method with {"remove_files": false} or no additional argument in json body will remove only action database entry. #5304, #5351, #5360

    • ⬇️ Reduced minimum TTL on garbage collection for action executions and trigger instances from 7 days to 1 day. #5287

    • ⚡️ update db connect mongo connection test - isMaster MongoDB command depreciated, switch to ping #5302, #5341

    • 🚚 Move to using Jinja sandboxed environment #5359

    Contributed by Amanda McGuinness (@amanda11 Ammeon Solutions)

    • 📌 Pinned python module networkx to versions between 2.5.1(included) and 2.6(excluded) because Python v3.6 support was dropped in v2.6. Also pinned decorator==4.4.2 (dependency of networkx<2.6) to work around missing python 3.8 classifiers on decorator's wheel. #5376

    • ➕ Add new --enable-profiler flag to all the servies. This flag enables cProfiler based profiler for the service in question and dumps the profiling data to a file on process exit.

    This functionality should never be used in production, but only in development environments or similar when profiling code. #5199

    Contributed by @Kami.

    • ➕ Add new --enable-eventlet-blocking-detection flag to all the servies. This flag enables eventlet long operation / blocked main loop logic which throws an exception if a particular code blocks longer than a specific duration in seconds.

    This functionality should never be used in production, but only in development environments or similar when debugging code. #5199

    • Silence pylint about dev/debugging utility (tools/direct_queue_publisher.py) that uses pika because kombu doesn't support what it does. If anyone uses that utility, they have to install pika manually. #5380

    • 🛠 Fixed version of cffi as changes in 1.15.0 meant that it attempted to load libffi.so.8. #5390

    • ⚡️ Updated Bash installer to install latest RabbitMQ version rather than out-dated version available in OS distributions.

    🛠 Fixed

    
* Correct error reported when encrypted key value is reported, and another key value parameter that requires conversion is present. #5328
  Contributed by @amanda11, Ammeon Solutions

* ⚡️ Make ``update_executions()`` atomic by protecting the update with a coordination lock. Actions, like workflows, may have multiple
  concurrent updates to their execution state. This makes those updates safer, which should make the execution status more reliable. #5358

  Contributed by @khushboobhatia01

* 🛠 Fix "not iterable" error for ``output_schema`` handling. If a schema is not well-formed, we ignore it.
  Also, if action output is anything other than a JSON object, we do not try to process it any more.
  ``output_schema`` will change in a future release to support non-object output. #5309

  Contributed by @guzzijones

* 🗄 ``core.inject_trigger``: resolve ``trigger`` payload shadowing by deprecating ``trigger`` param in favor of ``trigger_name``.
  ``trigger`` param is still available for backwards compatibility, but will be removed in a future release. #5335 and #5383
