CrafterCMS 3.1.8

Released July 1, 2020

New Features

Added a new processor s3DeploymentEventsProcessor that uploads the deployment-events.properties of a site for S3 serverless deployer
See S3 Deployment Events Processor for more information.
Added a new processor, gitUpdateCommitIdProcessor, that only updates the latest commit id
See Git Update Commit Id Processor for more information.
Added a new property updateCommitStore for the gitDiffProcessor that indicates whether or not to update the processed commit
See Git Diff Processor for more information.
Added a new property failDeploymentOnFailure for all processors that enables failing the deployment when there’s a processor failure See Deployer Processors Guide for more information.
Added support for automatically updating ES index settings
Whenever the Elasticsearch index settings are updated, for example, a new field has been added for a release, the ES index settings will be automatically updated by the CrafterCMS upgrade manager. The updated index containing the new settings will be named the current index version name incremented by 1, e.g. let’s say the current index is mysite-authoring_v1, after the upgrade, the new index will now be mysite-authoring_v2

The ES index settings will be automatically updated when upgrading to CrafterCMS 3.1.8 for users upgrading from CrafterCMS 3.1.6 and earlier, and also for users upgrading from CrafterCMS 3.1.7 where a manual update of the ES index settings has not been performed. The automatic update is triggered when upgrading to 3.1.8 as mentioned above because of an update in the ES index settings (input fields tokenize in repeating groups) in CrafterCMS 3.1.7.

Updates

Elasticsearch improvements
The Elasticsearch client connection timeout, socket timeout and number of threads to use are now configurable for Studio, Engine and Deployer

In Studio, go to CRAFTER_HOME/bin/apache-tomcat/shared/classes/crafter/studio/extension/, then edit the studio-config-override.yaml file and update the following properties to the desired values

CRAFTER_HOME/bin/apache-tomcat/shared/classes/crafter/studio/extension/studio-config-override.yaml

# The connection timeout in milliseconds, if set to -1 the default will be used
studio.search.timeout.connect: -1
# The socket timeout in milliseconds, if set to -1 the default will be used
studio.search.timeout.socket: -1
# The number of threads to use, if set to -1 the default will be used
studio.search.threads: -1

In Engine, go to CRAFTER_HOME/bin/apache-tomcat/shared/classes/crafter/engine/extension, then edit the server-config.properties and update the following properties to the desired values:

CRAFTER_HOME/bin/apache-tomcat/shared/classes/crafter/engine/extension/server-config.properties

    # The connection timeout in milliseconds, if set to -1 the default will be used
crafter.engine.elasticsearch.timeout.connect=-1
# The socket timeout in milliseconds, if set to -1 the default will be used
crafter.engine.elasticsearch.timeout.socket=-1
# The number of threads to use, if set to -1 the default will be used
crafter.engine.elasticsearch.threads=-1

In Deployer, edit CRAFTER_HOME/bin/crafter-deployer/config/base-target.yaml and update the following to the desired values:

CRAFTER_HOME/bin/crafter-deployer/config/base-target.yaml

timeout:
  # The connection timeout in milliseconds, if set to -1 the default will be used
  connect: -1
  # The socket timeout in milliseconds, if set to -1 the default will be used
  socket: -1
# The number of threads to use, if set to -1 the default will be used
threads: -1
