Deployment Notes
Important
Most full-mode users will need to sign in again after deployment. Session
deadlines now run on every request, and existing sessions usually have stale
last_use values. Sessions created on v0.26.5 or later are affected; older
sessions are exempt. See
Upgrading to v0.26.12
for details.
- Warn support that an increased login rate is expected.
- If your edge filters path prefixes, allow
POST /auth/close-account.
Thefull-mode delete-account action moved from/api/account/destroy
(#4394). - Tell colonel users that search now requires Enter or the submit button
(#4392). - Optionally set
RODAUTH_ADMIN_URLto link the console to Rodauth Admin
(#4390).
Warning
Session revocation is now enforced. Before this release, deleting an
active-session record reported success but did not end the corresponding Rack
session. This affected revocations from account settings, sign-out everywhere,
ots sessions revoke-all, customer purges, and Rodauth Admin.
In full mode, authenticated requests now verify that the active-session
record still exists. If you revoked a session for a security reason on
v0.26.5–v0.26.11, treat it as still active and confirm the account. This fixes
finding M-14 from the 2026-08-14 application security review (#4391).
Warning
Authenticated full-mode requests now depend on the auth database. If
the active-session record cannot be checked, access is refused until the
database returns. Users do not need to sign in again after recovery; their
session data remains in Redis. These refusals log
[active_session_gate] authdb unreachable (#4391).
Also check before upgrading:
- Colonel Organizations API:
refresh=1is now ignored,details.cacheis
removed, andpagination.cappedis new (#4392). - Audit stream: preview
email/sync_provider_feedbackevents now include
dry_run: true(#4396, #4397). - Tenant SSO locales: add
tenant_sso_link_unavailableand
identity_connect_wrong_domainif you maintain forked locale files (#4390). - Simple mode: unaffected by the active-session gate;
/api/account/destroy
is unchanged.
Rollback: No migration or dependency change is required. Roll back by
deploying v0.26.11. RODAUTH_ADMIN_URL can remain configured. Sessions
created under v0.26.12 continue to work after rollback, but their active-session
records are no longer enforced.
