Dgraph v22.0.0-RC1.20221003 release candidate

Announce

Hi Dgraph Community,

We have a Dgraph release candidate v22.0.0-RC1.20221003 for you to try and provide feedback.

The release candidate binaries and release notes are available on GitHub.

Based on the feedback we have received over the past few months, we have changed the release numbering scheme to semantic versioning. This version is called v22.0.0. The subsequent patch releases will be named as v22.0.y, the subsequent minor releases will be called as v22.x.y and the next major release will be v23.0.0. Minor releases will contain small features and bug fixes and major releases will contain sizable code changes.

Release v22.0.0 is based on v21.03.2 and is backward compatible with it. Databases created with v21.12.x will not work with v22.x.x and there is no upgrade path.

We have fixed 380+ CVEs and brought in a few fixes from the v21.12.0 release into this version. In addition, we have made significant enhancements to our CI and test infrastructure.

We have enabled CI using Github Actions and stabilized test harness, the Community is welcome to contribute further towards this effort. In our effort to improve CI/CD, we have added Code Coverage, Go Linting, Go Reports and TODO filters. We have also opened up Github Issues with Issue Templates to get as much information as possible from the reporters. Please refer to the release notes for further details.

We will continue to support both GraphQL and DQL. The support for v21.12 has been discontinued. Important bug fixes and features from v21.12 will be picked up in future releases. Keeping in compliance with semantic versioning, all future minor and patch releases will be upward compatible and breaking changes will be made only in major versions.

We would like to remind the community as mentioned in an earlier post that this release is intended to get our engineering and release processes in place. The subsequent releases will include features and fixes prioritized with the guidance of the Project Steering Committee (PSC).

Please note that this is a Release Candidate and not the official release.

Please file Github Issues with the label v22.0.0 if you find any problems or bugs in this release candidate.

Thank you all.

– The Dgraph team

We thank you and the entire community for your patience over the past few months. Things will keep getting only better from here onwards as we get more help from the PSC and the community.

@Poolshark, we have an explicit effort going on to improve cloud operations. There is no date for the cloud release yet. We will update here as soon as we have an estimated date.

Great news! Can we expect docker image to be published? I can’t wait to run our integration tests against new RC.

hey @Grandys we will be getting the images out this week. We have made significant changes to our CI steps, and you could follow these steps locally today on the repo’s main branch.

We are adding a contributors section to our docs, which will facilitate this process.

Hello @akon,
This new RC works great on my project, all tests, including concurrency ones, pass with no error.
I hope to see new features on DQL language.
Keep up the good work.

Hey @vladimir apologies, I had missed responding here. The images for v22 will be made availble at ~5pm PST today. I will send you a message here once we get that out. This will be powered by our new CD pipeline.

Unfortunately, I was not able push this out earlier - because the steps needed a stable automation. Now that we have our CD pipeline, we will be able to build out these artifacts in a standardized way.
