Changes in this release ==================

# Upgrading

## Security issues

A security issue has been discovered and fixed in LAVA: * removing/updating jobs via API without authentication

Every version of LAVA (since 2018) is affected.

We strongly advise to upgrade your instances to LAVA 2021.03.

# Device-types

## New device-types

New supported devices: * imx6sl * imx6ull * imx8dxl-phantom-mek * stm32mp157c-lxa-mc1 * meson-axg-s400 * meson-gxl-s905x-p212

## docker

Docker container can now run on a remote machine with the following option:

```yaml methods:       docker:         options:           remote: {{ docker_remote|default('') }} ```

## depthcharge

A depthcharge support for x86 architecture has been added as part of the base-depthcharge.jinja2 template.

## qemu

It is now possible to change machine type for m68k qemu jobs.

## mason

mason templates now support using booti via use_mainline_uboot flag.

# Device management

## sync command

Additional options have been added to the ``sync`` management command: * physical_owner * physical_group * group_device_permissions

Example device dictionary snippet: ```jinja {% set sync_to_lava = {    "device_type": "qemu",    "worker": "worker-1",    "physical_owner": "user1",    "physical_group": "group1",    "group_device_permissions": [        ["change_device", "group1"],        ["view_device", "group1"],        ["submit_to_device", "group1"],    ]    } %} ```

# Authentication

## Gitlab integration

GitLab auth provider from allauth has been added as the new authentication backend. For this the django-allauth package needs to be installed manually. The following line needs to be added to the settings file:

```yaml AUTH_GITLAB_URL: "https://gitlab.example.com" ```

For more information please refer to https://docs.lavasoftware.org/lava/authentication.html

# LAVA dispatcher

## Ping interval

Time between two pings to the server is now configurable via ``--ping-interval`` argument.

# Docker

## options

LOGLEVEL setting can now be overridden by setting an environment variable on the container.

# Bug fixes

* udev.py: Fix wait_device_board_id test * rcar-gen3-common: fix kernel/dtb address * dispatcher: fix JLink boot method to support LPC55S * downloads: Add export of dynamic_data on postprocess * job: do use sub_id with urls in templates * apply_overlay: do not crash when the overlay is mentioned but missing * schema: Fix docker image regexp * map_scanned_results: try to keep most of the data when results is too large * docker: upgrade sentry_sdk to 1.0.0 * qemu: Do not search qemu binary when docker is in use * rest api: Updating device dict should not check for global user permission. * lava-server manage wait: make the command more resilient

Thanks,
