Release 25.10.27

Overview

This release includes the introduction of several deployment utilities, and several enhancement and fixes throughout the whole framework.

• New FAQ models and backoffice tool from docu package

• A new data retention framework has been introduced, allowing tables to specify a retention period, which can be overriden in specific deployments, and provided schedulable tasks and CLI command to execute the retention cutoff. Introduced an initial retention policy in sys.error and sys.task_execution tables. Please note that the policy is not effecting if a task or a cron job for the cli command is created, it doesn't work out-of-the-box.

• Introduced support for database adapters subclassing, to extend the current framework adapters with custom ones.

• Introduced 'dbbranch' db connection attributes, for database backends that supports branching.

• boto3 client parameters now supports regions, retro-compatible.

• Improvements to 2FA and validation handling at login.

• Bag can now export to JSON format.

• Formhandler support a dismissrow event publising for grid delete operations.

• Code cleanup for past/future references

• App stores utilities to correctly handle integrations with native mobile apps (Android/iOS)

Develop & Deployment changes

• Added support for debugpy, installed via 'developer' profile.

• Introduce a self-test procedure to verify if the deployment is finalized for mobile app usage.

• Introduced new 'sys maintanance' instance cli command to enable/disable maintenance mode

• Reduced Docker image footprint by disabling local cache

• Introduced switch to 'gnr app dockerize' to create images based on development version of the framework, and new switch to specify a different image name

• New deployment tool to Kubernetes cluster has been introduced (EXPERIMENTAL), allowing also splitted container deployments.

• New commodity CLI command 'gnr web stack' is provided to run the entire stack with a single command.

• Package dependency installer ('gnr app checkdep') has a new '-n' option to disable package caching.

• Package dependencies solver/installer can now automatically upgrade/downgrade version in order to fix the environment, by using 'gnr app checkdep -f <instanceName>'.

• Test suite for package has been added, automating invocation via 'gnr dev tests' CLI command.

• A project builder framework has been introduce to manage multi-repositoy projects. - New module: gnr.dev.builder

  • Manages build.json configuration.

  • Handles Git operations (clone, checkout, update) for dependencies.

  • Provides methods to rebuild or synchronize project state.

  • New CLI: gnr dev builder - Commands: check, generate, regenerate, show, repositories, update, checkout.

  • Integration: - gnrdockerize command now uses the new builder for build context creation. - Simplified Docker image build pipeline with automatic repository checkout.

  • Provides groundwork for future automated build and CI/CD pipelines.

Fixes & Minor Adjustments

• Updated werkzeug max_form_memory_size limit to 100M, to deal with new hardcoded limit in recent werkzeug releases.

• Fixed several regressions in menu resolver behavior, simplified methods and fixes issue with single item menus.

• Improved error handling in menu source loading.

• Refined package branch expansion and flattening logic.

• Review and adjust data retention policies under /sys/dataretention.

• Validate custom menu or branch logic against the simplified menu resolver.
