v1.8.0: Release notes

OpenCRVS Core v1.8.0

New features

• Kubernetes support for local development Introduced Tiltfile for OpenCRVS deployment on local Kubernetes cluster. Check https://github.com/opencrvs/infrastructure for more information.

• Build OpenCRVS release images for arm devices #9455

• New form components

  • ID_READER - Parse the contents of a QR code and pre-populate some fields in the form

  • HTTP - Allows making HTTP requests to external APIs. Used in conjunction with BUTTON component to trigger the request & the response can be used to pre-populate fields in the form

  • BUTTON - Used to trigger actions in the form, such as a HTTP component

  • LINK_BUTTON - Redirect to a URL when clicked

  • ID_VERIFICATION_BANNER - A banner component that can be used to display information about the ID verification process

  More on how these components can be used can be found here: In-form authentication/verification

Bug fixes

• When the building the graphql payload from form data, we now check if a field was changed. If so then include it in the payload even if it might have been changed to an empty value.#9369

Improvements

• Improved text color for disabled text inputs and dropdowns

• Github runners upgraded to latest Ubuntu LTS release 24.04 #7045

• Switch to GitHub Packages from Docker hub #6910

• Upgrade Elasticsearch to a AGPLv3 licensed version 8.16.4 #8749

• GH_TOKEN secret is deprecated and replaced with GITHUB_GHCR_PUBLISH_TOKEN and E2E_WORKFLOWS_TOKEN secrets. GH_TOKEN secret was widely used within workflows for manipulations with PRs and triggering e2e and deploy workflows in Country config template repositories. We segregated tokens with more restricted access. Please create following secrets in your repository:

  • Secret GITHUB_GHCR_PUBLISH_TOKEN is classic token with permissions repo, write:packages. Required to build and push OpenCRVS Core images.

  • Secret E2E_WORKFLOWS_TOKEN is fine-grained token scoped to your fork of country config template repository with permissions Contents: Read and Write.

• Created a standalone data-seeder Docker image to decouple seeding logic from the core repository. This improves GitHub Actions runtime by avoiding full repository clone and dependency installation during environment seeding. #8976

OpenCRVS Country config template v1.8.0

New features

• Added a local virtual machine setup for testing Ansible playbooks locally (on MacOS and Ubuntu ). Check provision.ipynb for more details.

• Added Build summary and refactored deployment workflow to be more clear #6984

• Build OpenCRVS release images for arm devices #9455

• Introduced single_node variable in inventory files to define whether single-node clusters are allowed, set to false in production to enforce use of at least a two-node cluster. #6918

• Github runners upgraded to latest Ubuntu LTS release 24.04 #7045 and apply sticky node version from .nvmrc #423

• Updated seed-data.yml GitHub Actions workflow to use the new data-seeder Docker image instead of cloning the entire opencrvs-core repository. This improves CI performance and simplifies the data seeding process. #8976

Bug Fixes

• Added swarm tag to all tasks within the swarm.yaml playbook, previously it was missing. #9252

• Restrict supported key exchange, cipher and MAC algorithms for SSH configuration #7542
