Hi folks,
The 2021.04 tag has been pushed to master on git.lavasoftware.org
<http://git.lavasoftware.org>.
.deb packages have been built in GitLab CI and are published at
https://apt.lavasoftware.org/release <https://apt.lavasoftware.org/release>
Docker images for amd64 and arm64 have been built in GitLab CI and
are available from
https://hub.lavasoftware.org/ <https://hub.lavasoftware.org/>
and
https://hub.docker.com/u/lavasoftware
<https://hub.docker.com/u/lavasoftware>
Changes in this release
==================
# Device-types
## New device-types
New supported device:
* kontron-pitx-imx8m
## imx8
The base_high_limits attribute default value is now false.
## lpcxpresso55s69
Add support for "pyocd" boot method.
## docker
### image dependencies
Two new apache2 mods are now enabled in lava-server docker image:
* mod_rewrite
* mod_ssl
Enabling these two modules by default will make docker based https
deployment
and upgrade easier.
The new dependency has been added to the docker image:
python3-django-allauth.
This makes gitlab SSO possible in the docker deployment.
### package versions
The following packages are now installed from the buster backports and
will thus
have a higher installation version:
* qemu-system-arm
* qemu-system-mips
* qemu-system-misc
* qemu-system-ppc
* qemu-system-x86
## FVP
Instead of launching a long-running container to just get the model version,
LAVA now does a one-off docker run call. This avoids leaving that container
running in the background.
# LAVA server
## notifications
A custom query argument named ```dependency_query``` is added for
notification
criteria section. If specified, the notifications will only be sent if
all the
jobs from the query satisfy the criteria condition specified in criteria
status
field. Example code:
```yaml
notify:
criteria:
status: finished
dependency_query: testjob__description__icontains__somestring
callback:
url: https://git.lavasoftware.org/api/v4/projects/1232/jobs/11113/play
method: POST
```
## configuration
LAVA now makes it possible to set the database, secret key and
ALLOWED_HOSTS for
each environment based on environment variables. It is useful for other use
cases as well, such as LAVA deployments based on containers.
Variables that can be set via env variables:
* DATABASE_URL
* INSTANCE_NAME
* SECRET_KEY
* ALLOWED_HOSTS
## Worker token API
It is now possible to set the worker token via the lava-server manage
command.
## Debian packaging
Downgraded postgresql and apache2 to a Recommends for lava-server,
making LAVA
setup more flexible.
## Master/worker version mismatch
Added a new setting variable ALLOW_VERSION_MISMATCH to disable the version
check.
Note: users should be aware of potential side effects of version mismatch.
# LAVA dispatcher
## boot/pyocd
A new option is available in pyocd boot action, ```connect_before_flash```.
This will allow to connect to device before flashing and capture serial
output
appearing immediately after flashing.
## failure retry interval
By default, individual action would be retried after 1 second, but you
can now
specify ``failure_retry_interval`` to increase the interval between retries.
```yaml
- deploy:
failure_retry_interval: 10
```
## overlay
LAVA is now adding env variables (from env-dut.yaml) to the secrets file in
overlay.
# Bug fixes
* lava-server manage sync: show device type when devices come back from
retired
* dispatcher: download: catch stderr when decompression fails
* doc: authentication: add notes to GitLab auth integration
* testdef: do not crash if a test step is None
* tar test definition: fix compression support
* containers: fix duplicate mount point for container share
Thank you,
