2017.11 is the second release on the roadmap to the removal of V1. This is the single largest change ever made to the LAVA packages.

* All dashboard URLs are permanently disabled in lava-server. * All devices which were not enabled for V2 are now hidden and unusable. * All V1 code has been removed from lava-dispatcher. * All V1 documentation has been removed from lava-server-doc.

2017.11 disables all access to any V1 test data - including V1 only devices. The data itself remains in the database but is not accessible via any API.

If you have chosen to keep an archive of V1 test data and have not yet done so, you should do this before installing this upgrade. At the very least, you **must** have a backup of your postgresql database **before** you upgraded to 2017.11 in order to make a V1 test data archive later.

2017.11 requires that **all** workers and each associated master are upgraded to 2017.11 for test jobs to continue running. This is because there have been very large changes to the directories and file layout within both lava-server and lava-dispatcher associated with the removal of the V1 components.

The LAVA software team have been checking ahead for the final stage of the roadmap and plans are on track, as described.

http:// and https:// changes in django ======================================

A reminder, if you are accessing an instance using http:// (whether localhost or not), then the changes described in the documentation **must** be applied for the instance to operate correctly. This is a security change in Django, not a change in LAVA.

https://staging.validation.linaro.org/static/docs/v2/pipeline-debug.html#usi...

Symptoms include HTTP500 errors but can also include the inability to login to an instance using LDAP or local django accounts, depending on your local apache configuration.

Changes in 2017.11 ==================

Changes in the 2017.11 release are described below, including the short git commit hash. Use the git commit hash to go directly to that commit using a URL like https://git.linaro.org/lava/lava-server.git/commit/?id=b19b9648a for lava-server or https://git.linaro.org/lava/lava-dispatcher.git/commit/?id=1451e3a4 for lava-dispatcher.

Where the changelog message includes a story id like LAVA-552, that id can be added to the base URL: https://projects.linaro.org/browse/ to find out more about the change itself. e.g. https://projects.linaro.org/browse/LAVA-552

All LAVA stories are publicly available without requiring a login.

2017.11 also includes large changes to the packaging of both lava-server and lava-dispatcher. The prompts formerly used to configure a V1 remote worker have been removed. Packaging is maintained at https://github.com/Linaro/pkg-lava-server and https://github.com/Linaro/pkg-lava-dispatcher

Packages for 2017.11 have been uploaded to Debian unstable and also the LAVA repositories (for jessie-backports and stretch-backports).
