27 September 2021, v2.2.2-rc2

v2.2.2-rc2

This is the second release candidate (RC) for v2.2.2. This release contains mostly optimizations and unit testing, but there are several impactful bug fixes and changes.

New Features

  • New for RC2: The cloud monitoring task can now collect information about AWS Lightsail instances and S3 buckets
  • New for RC2: A new "Notification Delay" setting is available under the Cloud Configurations
    • This setting delays cloud infrastructure teardown notifications by X days
    • Useful if you want to run the cloud monitor task more frequently and not get teardown reminders for some period of time after a project ends
  • New to RC2: Projects now have fields for timezone, start time, and end time to track working hours
  • New to RC2: User profiles and client contacts now have a timezone field
  • New to RC2: You can now save up to three additional IP addresses for cloud servers (they are stored in an array for easy iteration)

Fixed

  • Fixed issue with the JavaScript for deleting entries in a formset selecting other checkboxes
  • Fixed WhoisStatus model's count property
    Upgraded TinyMCE to v5.8.2 to address potential XSS discovered in older TinyMCE versions
  • Fixed error handling that could suppress report generation error messages when generating all reports
  • Fixed error that could lead to WebSocket disconnections and errors when editing the timestamp values of a log entry
  • Fixed a typo in the emoji used by the default Slack message for an untracked server
  • Fixed a logic issue that could result in an "ignore tag" being missed when reporting on cloud infrastructure

Changed

  • Adjusted the report data to replace a blank short name with the client's full name (rather than a blank space in a report)
  • Moved some form validation logic to Django Signals in preparation for the API
  • Added a custom "division by zero" error message for times when a Jinja2 template attempts to divide a value (e.g., total num of completed objectives) that is zero without first checking the value
  • Bumped Toastr message opacity to .9 (up from .8) to improve readability
  • Bumped 50 character limit on certain OplogEntry values to 255 (the standard for other models)
  • Condensed Docker image layers and disabled caching for pip and apk to reduce image sizes by about 0.2 to 0.3GB
  • Optimized and improved code quality throughout the project based on recommendations from Code Factor (https://www.codefactor.io/repository/github/ghostmanager/ghostwriter)
  • New for RC2: Added Signals to release a checked-out server or domain if the current checkout is deleted (so it is released immediately rather than waiting for a scheduled task to run)
  • New in RC2: When updating a project's dates, Ghostwriter will no longer update the dates on domain and server checkouts if the checkout has already expired
  • New for RC2: If an in-use domain is flagged as "burned" by the health check task, a notification will now be sent to the project's Slack channel if a Slack channel is configured
  • New for RC2: All core libraries have been bumped up to their latest versions and Django has been upgraded to v3.1 from v3.0

Security Changes

  • Upgraded the Django image to Alpine v3.14 to address potential security vulnerabilities in the base image
  • Upgraded Postgres image to Postgres v11.12 to address potential security vulnerabilities in previously used version/base image
  • Pinned nginx image to v1.12.1 for security and stability
