v1.8.0-rc.2
Full Changelog: v1.8.0-rc.1...v1.8.0-rc.2
[1.8.0-rc.2] - 2026-10-18
Warning
Release candidate for opt-in testing. SQLite changes the on-disk store. Stop Drydock and back up the complete store directory before upgrading from v1.7 or earlier. First startup imports existing JSON data into SQLite. Downgrading requires restoring the intended pre-upgrade JSON snapshot and any separate session file; changes made only in SQLite are not carried back. A fresh v1.8 installation has no pre-upgrade JSON snapshot. Start with a copy of your store and test containers.
This candidate includes the v1.8.0-rc.1 features and retains its upgrade warnings. v1.8 GA is not released; v1.6.1 remains the latest stable release and v1.7.0-rc.24 remains the separate pending 1.7 GA candidate. RC2 has its own publication-based soak.
Fixed
- Restore Docker builds on both supported architectures by updating the exact Alpine libexpat pin to
2.9.0-r0, replacing the package revision no longer available from the repository. - Limit the CI scanner's documentation exception to the exact placeholder credential, so longer credentials containing that text are still reported.
Changed
- Pin v1.8 documentation deployment examples to
1.8.0-rc.2and add the SQLite upgrade warning to the introduction, so configuration guides do not install the stable v1.6 image for candidate-only features. - Align the website, demo, support policy and translated README testing guidance with RC2. Feature and deprecation introduction versions and the RC1 release record are preserved.
