BOA-2.1.3 Full Edition

We are happy to release BOA-2.1.3 Full Edition, which includes important security upgrades for Drupal 7 and Pressflow 6 cores, Nginx security upgrade and several other fixes and improvements plus some new features and two updated Platforms, introduced in the last 3 days since previous Edition.

### Stable BOA-2.1.3 Release - Full Edition
### Date: Thu Nov 21 17:55:47 SGT 2013
### Includes Aegir 2.x-boa-custom version.

# Release Notes:

  This release provides Drupal 7.24.1 and Pressflow 6.29.1 core security upgrade
  for all supported distributions. It also includes two updated platforms and
  several fixes for issues discovered since BOA-2.1.2 released 3 days ago, plus
  some clever improvements to help you automatically optimize all tables daily,
  or even automatically convert tables to-innodb or to-myisam, either per site
  or per platform, or per entire Octopus instance. There is also Purge Cruft
  Machine available to run some spring-cleaning daily with configurable TTL.

  Enjoy another super-fast and even more clever BOA Edition!

# Updated Octopus platforms:

  ### Drupal 7.24.1

  Open Atrium 2.0.9 ------------ http://drupal.org/project/openatrium
  OpenScholar 3.9.3 ------------ http://openscholar.harvard.edu

# New features and enhancements in this release:

  * Purge Cruft Machine moved to daily.sh agent and made configurable
    with _DEL_OLD_BACKUPS and _DEL_OLD_TMP per Octopus instance.

    If changed to any number greater than "0" it will automatically delete
    backups stored in the /data/disk/U/backups/ directory and in all hosted
    sites backup_migrate directories, during daily cleanup, if created more
    than X days ago, where X is a number of days defined in _DEL_OLD_BACKUPS.

    If "0" then this feature is disabled. It can't be configured via INI files,
    so you may need to submit support request if you want to customize this
    option set to 7 days by default on all hosted instances, as per our
    backups policy: https://omega8.cc/backups

    The same logic applies to _DEL_OLD_TMP which defines for how long the
    temporary files in all hosted sites files/tmp/ and private/temp/ directories
    are kept before deleting them during running daily maintenance.

  * Added sql_conversion_mode variable in the platform and site level INI
    to customize instance-wide mode optionally set via _SQL_CONVERT.

    This option allows to activate and/or customize DB tables conversion
    per site, per platform and via _SQL_CONVERT per Octopus instance.

    Supported values are: innodb and myisam (lowercase only!)
    Note that this conversion will run daily even if all tables have been
    already converted, so it will run OPTIMIZE on all tables, effectively.

    Related Issue #2126471 - Convert DB engine control files to ini format.

# Changes in this release:

  * Allow to install unsupported distros only in head, not stable.
  * Contrib update: advagg-7.x-2.3
  * Map drush to drush6 on command line. You can still use drush4 and drush5.
  * New contrib: display_cache
  * New contrib: panels_content_cache
  * Nginx 1.5.7 -- security upgrade.
  * Use dev versions of CDN module with patch for AdvAgg 7 compatibility.
  * Use Drush 5 and 6 head until next release.

# Fixes in this release:

  * Always cleanup temp downloads to avoid failed builds due to leftovers.
  * Always fix permissions on contrib on upgrade and in daily.sh agent.
  * Better auto-recovery when broken libcurl is detected.
  * Delete any tar/gz/zip files in modules|themes|libraries daily.
  * Delete dangerous local-allow.info file.
  * Display all active INI variables in HTTP headers on dev URLs.
  * Fix for cron auto-correction.

  * Fix the logic for cURL install from sources.
  * Nginx: Add Access-Control-Allow-Origin header also for static .json
  * Nginx: Protect also .md files in modules|themes|libraries dirs.
  * Issue #2137583 - Permissions on the site directory are broken after running,
    how ironically, the Health Check task.
  * Issue #2138811 - Maintenance agent disables modules from its standard
    turn-off list, even if they are required by other modules, apps or features.

# Known Issues on systems upgraded to initial BOA-2.1.3 release

  ==> Updated on Fri Nov 22 21:18:33 SGT 2013 with all fixes applied to stable.

  @=> Issues which will trigger `barracuda up-stable system` if discovered:

  * PHP: Fix for broken cURL from sources install logic.
  * PHP: Fix for forced rebuild mode if lib curl is broken or updated.
  * Use dummy variable instead of 'true' to avoid breaking the logic.

  @=> Issues which will NOT trigger `barracuda up-stable system` if discovered:

  * Issue #2141283 - Drush aliases like `drush dbup` no longer work properly.
  * MariaDB 5.5.34 just released.

# HotFix for known post-upgrade issues

  Run the boa-fix-upgrade script when logged in as system root:

  $ cd;rm -f boa-fix-upgrade.sh.txt*
  $ wget -q -U iCab http://files.aegir.cc/update/boa-fix-upgrade.sh.txt
  $ bash boa-fix-upgrade.sh.txt

  This script is updated once there is any new regression or bug discovered,
  so it is safe and recommended to run it again if the list of known issues
  have been updated. Note that this script will detect and fix all Octopus
  instances on your system at once.
