WANdisco SVN MultiSite Plus Release: 1.5 Build: 1845

Date: 21 May 2015

Fixes

  • You cannot remove a node when a different node is down. (NV-4711)
  • When replicator panics, all nodes are present in the replication groups on return. (NV-4718)
  • Membership is correct when moving repositories to new replication group. (NV-4737, NV-4754)

Known issues

  • Default start and kill priorities are incorrect in SUSE 11. (DE562)
  • If you try to do an EMR on a node but everything still has quorum, then no nodes are reconfigured. The system then expects an EMR report from all nodes even though there is one node down, the one you want to remove. Do not use EMR in this situation. (NV-4700)
  • MSP installer exits with error when replacing existing SVN binaries. (NV-4755)
  • Consistency Check via UI does not return results for all nodes in the RG on the repository info page. (NV-4428)

  • Currently a misspelled "content.push.policy" fails badly. (NV-4810)
  • GitMS installer fails if the user that runs GitMS does not have root .gitconfig. The workaround is to make the home directory and run the installer again. (NV-4788)
  • When the EMR beacon task completes, some pending tasks are left on the dashboard. Contact WANdisco Support. (PLAT-728)

Fixed Issues

Known Issues

  • When setting a repository to Global Read-only a message will appear through the UI that warns that the operation failed. Currently this message is appearing when the operation is actually successful. (NV-4549)

  • The installer currently doesn't check if you want to monitor Apache, sshd logs or input Apache Avro parameters. We'll ensure these are included in the installation in future release. Until then you can manually configure these elements by following the procedure Manual Setup for Audit logging. (NV-4593)
