Release Notes

We strongly advise upgrading your Allure Testops instance only to the releases listed in this very release notes document unless different release is advised by our support team.

This is to inform the end users of Allure Testops that as of the 1st March 2024 we are going to discontinue the support of all the PostgreSQL database releases less than 15.

The PostgreSQL release 15 will deliver dramatically enhanced performance which will allow us improving the work with big amount of data.

What does it mean?

• You can switch to PostgreSQL 15 now, it provides backwards compatibility with the currently used PostgreSQL ver. 14 and the 15th release will deliver better performance.
• We'll stop testing of the new releases of Allure Testops with the PostgreSQL's releases less than 15.
• We will not guarantee the solution's stable work with the PostgreSQL's releases less than 15.

Consult our support before the upgrade

If you decided upgrading your PostgreSQL server to the ver. 15 before March 2024, please consult our support first.

Configurations changes

Providing the protocol name before S3 endpoint became mandatory.

As it was

Before the change it was allowed to provide s3 endpoint URL like s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com in .env or in values.yaml or in the configuration files of services.

As it is now

The endpoint URL for S3 must contain the protocol https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com in.

If the endpoint won't contain the protocol part, application will fail to start with an exception

Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method 'asyncBlobStorage' parameter 1; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'blobStorageBackend'

15 June 2023 - Allure Testops 4.18.1

12 June 2023 - Allure Testops 4.18.0

🚀 New Features

• We've introduced new members management workflows and user interface. The change is only visible for the administrators of Allure Testops.

More details on the update can be found in our blog and in the documentation pages related to user's profile, and the management of the members in Allure Testops.

This new feature uses email as a transport to send out the invites for new users, so if you haven't yet configured the SMTP server for the passwords reset, you need to read this article on how to update existing deployment to start using new feature.

1 January 2023 - Allure Testops requires PostgreSQL version 14

As it was communicated earlier, starting from the 1st January 2023 we discontinued the support of PostgreSQL versions less than 14.

This means, we do not perform any Allure Testops tests with PostgreSQL releases lower than 14, thus the startup, overall performance, expected workflows are not guaranteed on the releases less than PostgreSQL 14 for the new versions of Allure Testops released after the 1st January 2023.

Before upgrading to a new Allure Testops version released after the 1st January 2023, you need to upgrade your PostgreSQL server to the release 14.
