Version 4.0.21¶
Released: November 29, 2021
Status: Maintenance
Changes¶
This release consists mostly of fixes and improvements backported from version 4.1.
Converter¶
The transformation cache_hash
method was split into two functions to
allow sub classes to modify how the cache hash is calculated.
Added asset image cache invalidation. Changing the asset image of an existing decoration will now invalidate the page image cache so that the new image is used.
An a asset duplication issue was fixed.
The asset percentage position calculation was also fixed.
Docker¶
A standalone Celery beat container was added to the default Docker Compose file.
Lock manager¶
Improvements to the lock manager test cases were merged.
Testing¶
Test models now perform more strict cleanup. The test model app config cache is cleaned after the test unit ends. All test models instances are deleted before deleting the actual test models.
Other¶
Add an explicit default value for
MEDIA_URL
. Ensures forward compatibility with future login dependency versions.Move meta tags to their own partial template.
Add libjpeg and libpng to the dev setup target.

Upgrading from Mayan EDMS 3.5.x¶
Important
Supervisord must be upgraded to version 4.2.2. See troubleshooting section: After upgrade to version 4.1
Stop supervisord:
sudo systemctl stop supervisor
Make a backup of your supervisord file:
sudo cp /etc/supervisor/conf.d/mayan-edms.conf /etc/supervisor/conf.d/mayan-edms.conf.bck
Make a backup of your database:
Use the respective backup command for the database:
Upgrade to the latest pip version:
sudo --user=mayan /opt/mayan-edms/bin/pip install --upgrade pip
Remove deprecated requirements:
sudo --user=mayan curl https://gitlab.com/mayan-edms/mayan-edms/raw/master/removals.txt --output /tmp/removals.txt \ && sudo --user=mayan /opt/mayan-edms/bin/pip uninstall --requirement /tmp/removals.txt --yes
Update the Mayan EDMS Python package:
sudo --user=mayan /opt/mayan-edms/bin/pip install mayan-edms==4.4.5
the requirements will also be updated automatically.
Update the Redis configuration to serve at least 3 databases:
Replace:
databases ...
with:
databases 3
Restart Redis for the changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl restart redis
Edit the config file at
/opt/mayan-edms/media/config.yml
:Replace:
LOCK_MANAGER_BACKEND: ... LOCK_MANAGER_BACKEND_ARGUMENTS: ...
with:
LOCK_MANAGER_BACKEND: mayan.apps.lock_manager.backends.redis_lock.RedisLock LOCK_MANAGER_BACKEND_ARGUMENTS: {'redis_url':'redis://:mayanredispassword@<IP address of Redis server>:6379/2'}
Update the supervisord configuration file. Replace the environment variables values shown here with your respective settings. This step will refresh the supervisord configuration file with the new queues and the latest recommended layout:
sudo --user=mayan MAYAN_MEDIA_ROOT=/opt/mayan-edms/media/ \ /opt/mayan-edms/bin/mayan-edms.py platformtemplate supervisord | sudo sh -c "cat > /etc/supervisor/conf.d/mayan-edms.conf"
Edit the supervisord configuration file and update any setting specific to your installation:
sudo vi /etc/supervisor/conf.d/mayan-edms.conf
Migrate existing database schema and static media files with:
sudo --user=mayan MAYAN_MEDIA_ROOT=/opt/mayan-edms/media/ \ /opt/mayan-edms/bin/mayan-edms.py performupgrade
Start supervisord:
sudo systemctl start supervisor
Clear the browser cache to avoid loading old web assets.
The upgrade procedure is now complete.
