33.0.0

Upgrade Instructions​

This major release requires a database schema upgrade. Please consult the documentation about upgrading your database schema.

The following changes are necessary and are covered by the alembic upgrade head command:

  1. Dropping tmp_dids table (Alembic revision 4df2c5ddabc0)

Important changes​

  • There are no notable changes in helm charts this version. However, if you are updating from a helm chart prior to 32.0.0, please follow the instruction from the previous rucio release 1.31.0 and perform the updates associated to "breaking", "highly recommended" and (optionally) "recommended" helm-chart changes.

Technology Preview: New Token Support​

In key places, there is a new backwards-incompatible token implementation that supersedes what was previously available. It should be considered a technology preview that will continue to evolve and reach maturity in future releases. Communities already using tokens should test this new release thoroughly and get in contact with the development team.

Technology Preview: New WebUI​

The alpha release of the new WebUI will be rolled out in the following days. This version of the WebUI does not replace the existing UI and the transition is foreseen to happen over the future release candidates. For example, OIDC authentication workflows are not yet supported and the URL's from the old UI do not map to the URLs in the new one. The communities are, therefore, still advised to keep using the old Rucio UI until we have made further improvements and prepared a migration guide. The list of supported features in the new WebUI are here https://github.com/rucio/webui/issues/301. The purpose of this release is to start involving users and communities for feedback while fixing the bugs and tasks that are already on our roadmap.
