3.8.0 - November 18, 2022

Fixed

• Fix redis SSL problems with sentinel [#5660]

• Fix a bug in the pack config loader so that objects covered by an patternProperties schema or arrays using additionalItems schema(s) can use encrypted datastore keys and have their default values applied correctly. [#5321]

Contributed by @cognifloyd

• Fixed st2client/st2client/base.py file to check for http_proxy and https_proxy environment variables for both lower and upper cases.

• Fixed a bug where calling 'get_by_name' on client for getting key details was not returning any results despite key being stored. [#5677]

• Fixed st2client/st2client/base.py file to use https_proxy(not http_proxy) to check HTTPS_PROXY environment variables.

• Fixed schema utils to more reliably handle schemas that define nested arrays (object-array-object-array-string) as discovered in some of the ansible installer RBAC tests (see [#5684]). This includes a test that reproduced the error so we don't hit this again. [#5685]

• Fixed eventlet monkey patching so more of the unit tests work under pytest. [#5689]

• Fix and reenable prance-based openapi spec validation, but make our custom x-api-model validation optional as the spec is out-of-date. [#5709] Contributed by @cognifloyd

• Fixed generation of st2.conf.sample to show correct syntax for [sensorcontainer].partition_provider (space separated key:value pairs). [#5710] Contributed by @cognifloyd

• Fix access to key-value pairs in workflow and action execution where RBAC rules did not get applied [#5764]

Contributed by @m4dcoder

• Add backward compatibility to secret masking introduced in [#5319] to prevent security-relative issues. Migration to the new schema is required to take advantage of the full output schema validation. [#5783]

Added

• Added graceful shutdown for workflow engine. [#5463] Contributed by @khushboobhatia01

• Add ST2_USE_DEBUGGER env var as alternative to the --use-debugger cli flag. [#5675] Contributed by @cognifloyd

• Added purging of old tokens. [#5679] Contributed by Amanda McGuinness (@amanda11 intive)

• Begin introducing pants <https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs>_ to improve DX (Developer Experience) working on StackStorm, improve our security posture, and improve CI reliability thanks in part to pants' use of PEX lockfiles. This is not a user-facing addition. [#5713] [#5724] [#5726] [#5725] [#5732] [#5733] [#5737] [#5738] [#5758] [#5751] [#5774] [#5776] [#5777] [#5782] Contributed by @cognifloyd

Changed

• BREAKING CHANGE for anyone that uses output_schema, which is disabled by default. If you have [system].validate_output_schema = True in st2.conf AND you have added output_schema to any of your packs, then you must update your action metadata.

output_schema must be a full jsonschema now. If a schema is not well-formed, we ignore it. Now, output can be types other than object such as list, bool, int, etc. This also means that all of an action's output can be masked as a secret.

To get the same behavior, you'll need to update your output schema. For example, this schema:

    output_schema:
      property1:
        type: bool
      property2:
        type: str

should be updated like this:

    output_schema:
      type: object
      properties:
        property1:
          type: bool
        property2:
          type: str
      additionalProperties: false

• Changed the X-XSS-Protection HTTP header from 1; mode=block to 0 in the conf/nginx/st2.conf to align with the OWASP security standards. [#5298]

Contributed by @LiamRiddell

• Use PEP 440 direct reference requirements instead of legacy PIP VCS requirements. Now, our *.requirements.txt files use package-name@ git+https://url@version ; markers instead of git+https://url@version#egg=package-name ; markers. [#5673] Contributed by @cognifloyd

• Move from udatetime to ciso8601 for date functionality ahead of supporting python3.9 [#5692] Contributed by Amanda McGuinness (@amanda11 intive)

• Refactor tests to use python imports to identify test fixtures. [#5699] [#5702] [#5703] [#5704] [#5705] [#5706] Contributed by @cognifloyd

• Refactor st2-generate-schemas so that logic is in an importable module. [#5708] Contributed by @cognifloyd

Removed

• Removed st2exporter service. It is unmaintained and does not get installed. It was originally meant to help with analytics by exporting executions as json files that could be imported into something like elasticsearch. Our code is now instrumented to make a wider variety of stats available to metrics drivers. [#5676] Contributed by @cognifloyd
