v1.1.0

UPDATE: This release has few bugs, please use v1.1.1 instead.

Release Highlights

This release includes schema changes.
Before upgrading your cluster, run the schema tool and upgrade your schema to support version 1.1
For MySQL databases use: temporal-sql-tool, for Cassandra use temporal-cassandra-tool.

Below are a few examples that show how to upgrade "default" and "visibility" schemas for Cassandra.

Run these commands if you "bring your own" database.

Default:

temporal-cassandra-tool --tls --tls-ca-file $TLS_CA_FILE --user $CASSANDRA_USER --password $CASSANDRA_PASSWORD \
		--endpoint $CASSANDRA_ENDPOINT --keyspace temporal --timeout 120 update --schema-dir ./schema/cassandra/temporal/versioned

Visibility:

temporal-cassandra-tool --tls --tls-ca-file $TLS_CA_FILE --user $CASSANDRA_USER --password $CASSANDRA_PASSWORD \
		--endpoint $CASSANDRA_ENDPOINT --keyspace temporal_visibility --timeout 120  update --schema-dir ./schema/cassandra/visibility/versioned

Run these commands if you have a localhost installation:

Default:

temporal-cassandra-tool --keyspace temporal update -schema-dir schema/cassandra/temporal/versioned

Visibility:

temporal-cassandra-tool --keyspace temporal_visibility update -schema-dir schema/cassandra/visibility/versioned

Things we are still working on

2. Failure testing.

v0.30.0

UPDATE: Due to #740 bug docker-compose version of the server can't be started more than once. Please use v0.31.0 instead.

Release Highlights

v0.30.0 maintains Temporal's "Alpha" release state. Please do not use this release for production workloads.

Important

1. You can not rollback to a previous version once you have upgraded to v0.30.0. Data that is created in v0.30.0 is not supported by older versions and you will get panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference when the service tries to start. Using an older version after the upgrade will require a fresh install.

2. After upgrading to v0.30.0 you can not call Reset on Workflows which were started with a previous version. However, you can still call Reset on Workflows that were started while running v0.30.0.

v0.27.0

Release Highlights

v0.27.0 maintains Temporal's "Alpha" release state.
Do not use this release for production workloads as there are breaking changes planned for future releases.

This release includes:

• Import path renames
• Major entity renames
• tctl improvements
• Other minor updates

Change details

Import path renames

1. go.temporal.io/temporal-proto → go.temporal.io/api
2. go.temporal.io/temporal → go.temporal.io/sdk: Root files were moved to temporal directory, so package name remained the same but import path changed from go.temporal.io/temporal to go.temporal.io/sdk/temporal.
3. github.com/temporalio/temporal → go.temporal.io/server
4. github.com/temporalio/temporal/.gen/proto→ go.temporal.io/server/api: This is already checked into the repo. This enables the reference of the server package to build a custom version.

Major entities renames:

1. RetryStatus → RetryState
2. ArchivalStatus → ArchivalState
3. NamespaceStatus → NamespaceState: Note that, in the config file, status: needs to be renamed to state:.
