-h2. General process
-
-# Consult upgrade notes below to see if any manual configuration updates are necessary.
-# Wait for the cluster to be idle and stop Arvados services.
-# Make a backup of your database, as a precaution.
-# Install new packages using @apt-get upgrade@ or @yum upgrade@.
-# Wait for package installation scripts as they perform any necessary data migrations.
-# Restart Arvados services.
+Upgrade instructions can be found at "Maintenance and upgrading":{{site.baseurl}}/admin/maintenance-and-upgrading.html#upgrading.
h2. Upgrade notes
-Some versions introduce changes that require special attention when upgrading: e.g., there is a new service to install, or there is a change to the default configuration that you might need to override in order to preserve the old behavior.

+h2(#main). development main (as of 2022-02-10)
+
+"previous: Upgrading to 2.3.0":#v2_3_0
+
+h3. Anonymous token changes
+
+The anonymous token configured in @Users.AnonymousUserToken@ must now be 32 characters or longer. This was already the suggestion in the documentation, now it is enforced. The @script/get_anonymous_user_token.rb@ script that was needed to register the anonymous user token in the database has been removed. Registration of the anonymous token is no longer necessary. If the anonymous token in @config.yml@ is specified as a full V2 token, that will now generate a warning - it should be updated to list just the secret (i.e. the part after the last forward slash).
+
+h3. Preemptible instance types are used automatically, if any are configured
+
+The default behavior for selecting "preemptible instances":{{site.baseurl}}/admin/spot-instances.html has changed. If your configuration lists any instance types with @Preemptible: true@, all child (non-top-level) containers will automatically be scheduled on preemptible instances. To avoid using preemptible instances except when explicitly requested by clients, add @AlwaysUsePreemptibleInstances: false@ in the @Containers@ config section. (Previously, preemptible instance types were never used unless the configuration specified @UsePreemptibleInstances: true@. That flag has been removed.)
+
+h3. Role groups are visible to all users by default
+
+The permission model has changed such that all role groups are visible to all active users. This enables users to share objects with groups they don't belong to. To preserve the previous behavior, where role groups are only visible to members and admins, add @RoleGroupsVisibleToAll: false@ to the @Users@ section of your configuration file.
+
+h3. Default LSF arguments have changed
+
+If you use LSF and your configuration specifies @Containers.LSF.BsubArgumentsList@, you should update it to include the new arguments (@"-R", "select[mem>=%MMB]", ...@, see "configuration reference":{{site.baseurl}}/admin/config.html). Otherwise, containers that are too big to run on any LSF host will remain in the LSF queue instead of being cancelled.
+
+h3. Previously trashed role groups will be deleted
+
+Due to a bug in previous versions, the @DELETE@ operation on a role group caused the group to be flagged as trash in the database, but continue to grant permissions regardless. After upgrading, any role groups that had been trashed this way will be deleted. This might surprise some users if they were relying on permissions that were still in effect due to this bug. Future @DELETE@ operations on a role group will immediately delete the group and revoke the associated permissions.
+
+h3. Users are visible to other users by default
+
+When a new user is set up (either via @AutoSetupNewUsers@ config or via Workbench admin interface) the user immediately becomes visible to other users. To revert to the previous behavior, where the administrator must add two users to the same group using the Workbench admin interface in order for the users to see each other, change the new @Users.ActivatedUsersAreVisibleToOthers@ config to @false@.
+
+h3. Dedicated keepstore process for each container
+
+When Arvados runs a container via @arvados-dispatch-cloud@, the @crunch-run@ supervisor process now brings up its own keepstore server to handle I/O for mounted collections, outputs, and logs. With the default configuration, the keepstore process allocates one 64 MiB block buffer per VCPU requested by the container. For most workloads this will increase throughput, reduce total network traffic, and make it possible to run more containers at once without provisioning additional keepstore nodes to handle the I/O load.
+* If you have containers that can effectively handle multiple I/O threads per VCPU, consider increasing the @Containers.LocalKeepBlobBuffersPerVCPU@ value.
+* If you already have a robust permanent keepstore infrastructure, you can set @Containers.LocalKeepBlobBuffersPerVCPU@ to 0 to disable this feature and preserve the previous behavior of sending container I/O traffic to your separately provisioned keepstore servers.
+* This feature is enabled only if no volumes use @AccessViaHosts@, and no volumes have underlying @Replication@ less than @Collections.DefaultReplication@. If the feature is configured but cannot be enabled due to an incompatible volume configuration, this will be noted in the @crunch-run.txt@ file in the container log.
+
+h3. Backend support for vocabulary checking
-"Upgrading from 2.1.0":#v2_1_0
+If your installation uses the vocabulary feature on Workbench2, you will need to update the cluster configuration by moving the vocabulary definition file to the node where @controller@ runs, and set the @API.VocabularyPath@ configuration parameter to the local path where the file was placed.
+This will enable the vocabulary checking cluster-wide, including Workbench2. The @Workbench.VocabularyURL@ configuration parameter is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
+You can read more about how this feature works on the "admin page":{{site.baseurl}}/admin/metadata-vocabulary.html.
+
+h2(#v2_3_0). v2.3.0 (2021-10-27)
+
+"previous: Upgrading to 2.2.0":#v2_2_0
+
+h3. Ubuntu 18.04 packages for arvados-api-server and arvados-workbench now conflict with ruby-bundler
+
+Ubuntu 18.04 ships with Bundler version 1.16.1, which is no longer compatible with the Gemfiles in the Arvados packages (made with Bundler 2.2.19). The Ubuntu 18.04 packages for arvados-api-server and arvados-workbench now conflict with the ruby-bundler package to work around this issue. The post-install scripts for arvados-api-server and arvados-workbench install the proper version of Bundler as a gem.
+
+h3. Removed unused @update_uuid@ endpoint for users.
+
+The @update_uuid@ endpoint was superseded by the "link accounts feature":{{site.baseurl}}/admin/link-accounts.html, so it's no longer available.
+
+h3. Removed deprecated '@@' search operator
+
+The '@@' full text search operator, previously deprecated, has been removed. To perform a string search across multiple columns, use the 'ilike' operator on 'any' column as described in the "available list method filter section":{{site.baseurl}}/api/methods.html#substringsearchfilter of the API documentation.
+
+h3. Storage classes must be defined explicitly
+
+If your configuration uses the StorageClasses attribute on any Keep volumes, you must add a new @StorageClasses@ section that lists all of your storage classes. Refer to the updated documentation about "configuring storage classes":{{site.baseurl}}/admin/storage-classes.html for details.
+
+h3. keep-balance requires access to PostgreSQL
+
+Make sure the keep-balance process can connect to your PostgreSQL server using the settings in your config file. (In previous versions, keep-balance accessed the database through controller instead of connecting to the database server directly.)
+
+h3. crunch-dispatch-local now requires config.yml
+
+The @crunch-dispatch-local@ dispatcher now reads the API host and token from the system wide @/etc/arvados/config.yml@ . It will fail to start that file is not found or not readable.
h3. Multi-file docker image collections
Typically a docker image collection contains a single @.tar@ file at the top level. Handling of atypical cases has changed. If a docker image collection contains files with extensions other than @.tar@, they will be ignored (previously they could cause errors). If a docker image collection contains multiple @.tar@ files, it will cause an error at runtime, "cannot choose from multiple tar files in image collection" (previously one of the @.tar@ files was selected). Subdirectories are ignored. The @arv keep docker@ command always creates a collection with a single @.tar@ file, and never uses subdirectories, so this change will not affect most users.

+"previous: Upgrading to 2.1.0":#v2_1_0
+
h3. New spelling of S3 credential configs
If you use the S3 driver for Keep volumes and specify credentials in your configuration file (as opposed to using an IAM role), you should change the spelling of the @AccessKey@ and @SecretKey@ config keys to @AccessKeyID@ and @SecretAccessKey@. If you don't update them, the previous spellings will still be accepted, but warnings will be logged at server startup.

h3. Migrating to centralized config.yml
-See "Migrating Configuration":config-migration.html for notes on migrating legacy per-component configuration files to the new centralized @/etc/arvados/config.yml@.
+See "Migrating Configuration":https://doc.arvados.org/v2.1/admin/config-migration.html for notes on migrating legacy per-component configuration files to the new centralized @/etc/arvados/config.yml@.
To ensure a smooth transition, the per-component config files continue to be read, and take precedence over the centralized configuration. Your cluster should continue to function after upgrade but before doing the full configuration migration. However, several services (keepstore, keep-web, keepproxy) require a minimal `/etc/arvados/config.yml` to start:
You can no longer specify individual keep services to balance via the @config.KeepServiceList@ command line option or @KeepServiceList@ legacy config option. Instead, keep-balance will operate on all keepstore servers with @service_type:disk@ as reported by the @arv keep_service list@ command. If you are still using the legacy config, @KeepServiceList@ should be removed or keep-balance will produce an error.

h3. Populating the new file_count and file_size_total columns on the collections table
As part of story "#9945":https://dev.arvados.org/issues/9945, the distribution packaging (deb/rpm) of our Python packages has changed. These packages now include a built-in virtualenv to reduce dependencies on system packages. We have also stopped packaging and publishing backports for all the Python dependencies of our packages, as they are no longer needed.
-One practical consequence of this change is that the use of the Arvados Python SDK (aka "import arvados") will require a tweak if the SDK was installed from a distribution package. It now requires the loading of the virtualenv environment from our packages. The "Install documentation for the Arvados Python SDK":/sdk/python/sdk-python.html reflects this change. This does not affect the use of the command line tools (e.g. arv-get, etc.).

Python scripts that rely on the distribution Arvados Python SDK packages to import the Arvados SDK will need to be tweaked to load the correct Python environment.

-"Upgrading from 1.3.0":#v1_3_0
+"previous: Upgrading to 1.3.0":#v1_3_0
This release corrects a potential data loss issue, if you are running Arvados 1.3.0 or 1.3.1 we strongly recommended disabling @keep-balance@ until you can upgrade to 1.3.3 or 1.4.0. With keep-balance disabled, there is no chance of data loss.
-We've put together a "wiki page":https://dev.arvados.org/projects/arvados/wiki/Recovering_lost_data which outlines how to recover blocks which have been put in the trash, but not yet deleted, as well as how to identify any collections which have missing blocks so that they can be regenerated. The keep-balance component has been enhanced to provide a list of missing blocks and affected collections and we've provided a "utility script":https://github.com/arvados/arvados/blob/master/tools/keep-xref/keep-xref.py which can be used to identify the workflows that generated those collections and who ran those workflows, so that they can be rerun.
