Notes:

v4.5.0 ➔ v4.5.1

Notes:

v4.4.2 ➔ v4.5.0

Notes:

This release introduces a background job that will convert all LSIF data into SCIP. This migration is irreversible and a rollback from this version may result in loss of precise code intelligence data. Please see the migration notes for more details.

v4.4.1 ➔ v4.4.2

Notes:

v4.3 ➔ v4.4.1

  • Users attempting a multi-version upgrade to v4.4.0 may be affected by a known bug in which an outdated schema migration is included in the upgrade process. This issue is fixed in patch v4.4.2

    • The error will be encountered while running upgrade, and contains the following text: "frontend": failed to apply migration 1648115472.
      • To resolve this issue run migrator with the args 'add-log', '-db=frontend', '-version=1648115472'.
      • If migrator was stopped while running upgrade the next run of upgrade will encounter drift, this drift should be disregarded by providing migrator with the --skip-drift-check flag.

v4.2 ➔ v4.3.1

No notes.

v4.2 ➔ v4.3.1

No notes.

v4.1 ➔ v4.2.1

This upgrade adds the node-exporter deployment, which collects crucial machine-level metrics that help Sourcegraph scale your deployment.

Notes:

  • caddy is upgraded to version 2.5.1 and contains a breaking change from version 2.5.0. Incoming X-Forwarded-* headers will no longer be trusted automatically. In order to preserve existing product functionality, the Caddyfile was updated to trust all incoming X-Forwarded-* headers. #828
  • The Postgres DBs frontend and codeintel-db are now given 1 hour to begin accepting connections before Kubernetes restarts the containers. #4136

v3.39 ➔ v3.40

Target the tag v3.40.2 when fetching upstream from deploy-sourcegraph-docker.

Patch releases:

  • v3.40.1
  • v3.40.2

Notes:

  • cadvisor now defaults to run in privileged mode. This allows cadvisor to collect out of memory events happening to containers which can be used to discover underprovisoned resources. #804

v3.38 ➔ v3.39

Target the tag v3.39.1 when fetching upstream from deploy-sourcegraph-docker.

Patch releases:

  • v3.39.1

Notes:

  • We made a number of changes to our built-in postgres databases (the pgsql, codeintel-db, and codeinsights-db container)
    • CAUTION: Added the ability to customize postgres server configuration by mounting external configuration files. If you have customized the config in any way, you should copy your changes to the added postgresql.conf files sourcegraph/deploy-sourcegraph-docker#792.
    • Increased the minimal memory requirement of pgsql and codeintel-db from 2GB to 4GB. -codeinsights-db container no longer uses TimescaleDB and is now based on the standard Postgres image sourcegraph/deploy-sourcegraph-docker#780. Metrics scraping is also enabled.

v3.37 ➔ v3.38

Target the tag v3.38.1 when fetching upstream from deploy-sourcegraph-docker.

Patch releases:

  • v3.38.1

Notes:

  • Minimum version of 1.29 for docker compose is required for this update

v3.36 ➔ v3.37

Target the tag v3.37.0 when fetching upstream from deploy-sourcegraph-docker.

Notes:

  • This release adds a new container that runs database migrations (migrator) independently of the frontend container. Confirm the environment variables on this new container match your database settings.
  • If performing a multiversion upgrade from an instance prior to this version see our upgrading early versions documentation

v3.35 ➔ v3.36

Target the tag v3.36.0 when fetching upstream from deploy-sourcegraph-docker.

v3.34 ➔ v3.35

Target the tag v3.35.1 when fetching upstream from deploy-sourcegraph-docker.

Patch releases:

  • v3.35.1

Notes:

  • The query-runner service has been decommissioned in the 3.35 release and will be removed during the upgrade. To delete the query-runner service, specify --remove-orphans to your docker-compose command.
  • There is a known issue with the Code Insights out-of-band settings migration not reaching 100% complete when encountering deleted users or organizations.

v3.33 ➔ v3.34

Target the tag v3.34.0 when fetching upstream from deploy-sourcegraph-docker.

v3.32 ➔ v3.33

Target the tag v3.33.0 when fetching upstream from deploy-sourcegraph-docker.

v3.31 ➔ v3.32

Target the tag v3.32.0 when fetching upstream from deploy-sourcegraph-docker.

v3.30 ➔ v3.31

Target the tag v3.31.2 when fetching upstream from deploy-sourcegraph-docker.

Patch releases:

  • v3.31.1
  • v3.31.2

Notes:

  • The built-in main Postgres (pgsql) and codeintel (codeintel-db) databases have switched to an alpine-based Docker image. Upon upgrading, Sourcegraph will need to re-index the entire database. All users that use our bundled (built-in) database instances must read through the 3.31 upgrade guide before upgrading.

v3.29 ➔ v3.30

Target the tag v3.30.3 when fetching upstream from deploy-sourcegraph-docker.

Patch releases:

  • v3.30.1
  • v3.30.2
  • v3.30.3

v3.28 ➔ v3.29

Target the tag v3.29.0 when fetching upstream from deploy-sourcegraph-docker.

Notes:

  • This upgrade adds a new worker service that runs a number of background jobs that were previously run in the frontend service. See notes on deploying workers for additional details. Good initial values for CPU and memory resources allocated to this new service should match the frontend service.

v3.27 ➔ v3.28

Target the tag v3.28.0 when fetching upstream from deploy-sourcegraph-docker.

Notes:

v3.26 ➔ v3.27

Target the tag v3.27.0 when fetching upstream from deploy-sourcegraph-docker.

Notes:

  • If you are using an external database, upgrade your database to Postgres 12 or above prior to upgrading Sourcegraph. No action is required if you are using the supplied supplied database images.
  • If performing a multiversion upgrade from an instance prior to this version see our upgrading early versions documentation

v3.25 ➔ v3.26

Target the tag v3.26.0 when fetching upstream from deploy-sourcegraph-docker.

v3.24 ➔ v3.25

Target the tag v3.25.0 when fetching upstream from deploy-sourcegraph-docker.

Notes:

  • Go 1.15 introduced changes to SSL/TLS connection validation which requires certificates to include a SAN. This field was not included in older certificates and clients relied on the CN field. You might see an error like x509: certificate relies on legacy Common Name field. We recommend that customers using Sourcegraph with an external database and and connecting to it using SSL/TLS check whether the certificate is up to date.

v3.23 ➔ v3.24

Target the tag v3.24.0 when fetching upstream from deploy-sourcegraph-docker.

v3.22 ➔ v3.23

Target the tag v3.23.0 when fetching upstream from deploy-sourcegraph-docker.

Target the tag v3.22.0 when fetching upstream from deploy-sourcegraph-docker.

Notes:

v3.20 ➔ v3.21

Target the tag v3.21.1 when fetching upstream from deploy-sourcegraph-docker.

Patch releases:

  • v3.21.1

Notes:

  • This release introduces a second database instance, codeintel-db. If you have configured Sourcegraph with an external database, then update the CODEINTEL_PG* environment variables to point to a new external database as described in the external database documentation. Again, these must not point to the same database or the Sourcegraph instance will refuse to start.
