Across 5.4.1 Release notes

By Davy

The 5.4.1 release consists mainly of:

Upgrades

Upgrades compared to 5.4.0:

  • Spring Framework: 5.3.32

  • Apache Tomcat: 9.0.86

  • Azure SDK BOM: 1.2.21 for com.azure:azure-storage-blob:12.25.2. Note that this does not propagate to applications: you’ll have to upgrade the Azure SDK BOM yourself there.

Website pointers

Pointers to the old website have been replaced with pointers to the new site:

GitHub mirrors

The GitHub mirrors of the internal repositories have been moved to:

Compatibility with Azure MySQL Flexible Server configuration

Azure has enabled Generated Invisible Primary Keys (MySQL Docs) in Azure MySQL Flexible Server since August 2023.

That’s generally a good choice, so we don’t want to disable that. The problem was that the Liquibase AcrossCoreSchemaInstaller.xml script was not compatible with GIPK enabled. That has been fixed with a mysql specific changeSet that drops and creates the primary key for ACROSSMODULES in a single command.

Switch AzureFileRepository to the new Azure SDK

The com.microsoft.azure:azure-storage SDK has been deprecated since March 2023.

The AzureFileRepository class from the file-manager-module has been adapted to use the new com.azure:azure-storage-blob SDK using the migration guide.

You will need to follow the instructions in that migration guide, in order to pass a com.azure.storage.blob.BlobServiceClient to the builder of AzureFileRepository

Internal changes

In the across-entity-admin-modules repository, the end-to-end tests are now run with Cypress 5 instead of Cypress 4.
