+h3. v1.4.0 (2019-06-05)
+
+h4. Populating the new file_count and file_size_total columns on the collections table
+
+As part of story "#14484":https://dev.arvados.org/issues/14484, two new columns were added to the collections table in a database migration. If your installation has a large collections table, this migration may take some time. We've seen it take ~5 minutes on an installation with 250k collections, but your mileage may vary.
+
+The new columns are initialized with a zero value. In order to populate them, it is necessary to run a script called <code class="userinput">populate-file-info-columns-in-collections.rb</code> from the scripts directory of the API server. This can be done out of band, ideally directly after the API server has been upgraded to v1.4.0.
+
+h4. Stricter collection manifest validation on the API server
+
+As a consequence of "#14482":https://dev.arvados.org/issues/14482, the Ruby SDK does a more rigorous collection manifest validation. Collections created after 2015-05 are unlikely to be invalid, however you may check for invalid manifests using the script below.
+
+You could set up a new rvm gemset and install the specific arvados gem for testing, like so:
+
+<notextile>
+<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">rvm gemset create rubysdk-test</span>
+~$ <span class="userinput">rvm gemset use rubysdk-test</span>
+~$ <span class="userinput">gem install arvados -v 1.3.1.20190301212059</span>
+</code></pre>
+</notextile>
+
+Next, you can run the following script using admin credentials, it will scan the whole collection database and report any collection that didn't pass the check:
+
+{% codeblock as ruby %}
+require 'arvados'
+require 'arvados/keep'
+
+api = Arvados.new
+offset = 0
+batch_size = 100
+invalid = []
+
+while true
+ begin
+ req = api.collection.index(
+ :select => [:uuid, :created_at, :manifest_text],
+ :include_trash => true, :include_old_versions => true,
+ :limit => batch_size, :offset => offset)
+ rescue
+ invalid.each {|c| puts "#{c[:uuid]} (Created at #{c[:created_at]}): #{c[:error]}" }
+ raise
+ end
+
+ req[:items].each do |col|
+ begin
+ Keep::Manifest.validate! col[:manifest_text]
+ rescue Exception => e
+ puts "Collection #{col[:uuid]} manifest not valid"
+ invalid << {uuid: col[:uuid], error: e, created_at: col[:created_at]}
+ end
+ end
+ puts "Checked #{offset} / #{req[:items_available]} - Invalid: #{invalid.size}"
+ offset += req[:limit]
+ break if offset > req[:items_available]
+end
+
+if invalid.empty?
+ puts "No invalid collection manifests found"
+else
+ invalid.each {|c| puts "#{c[:uuid]} (Created at #{c[:created_at]}): #{c[:error]}" }
+end
+{% endcodeblock %}
+
+The script will return a final report enumerating any invalid collection by UUID, with its creation date and error message so you can take the proper correction measures, if needed.
+
+h4. Python packaging change
+
+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.
+
+This can be done by activating the virtualenv outside of the script:
+
+<notextile>
+<pre>~$ <code class="userinput">source /usr/share/python2.7/dist/python-arvados-python-client/bin/activate</code>
+(python-arvados-python-client) ~$ <code class="userinput">path-to-the-python-script</code>
+</pre>
+</notextile>
+
+Or alternatively, by updating the shebang line at the start of the script to:
+
+<notextile>
+<pre>
+#!/usr/share/python2.7/dist/python-arvados-python-client/bin/python
+</pre>
+</notextile>
+
+h4. python-arvados-cwl-runner deb/rpm package now conflicts with python-cwltool deb/rpm package
+
+As part of story "#9945":https://dev.arvados.org/issues/9945, the distribution packaging (deb/rpm) of our Python packages has changed. The python-arvados-cwl-runner package now includes a version of cwltool. If present, the python-cwltool and cwltool distribution packages will need to be uninstalled before the python-arvados-cwl-runner deb or rpm package can be installed.
+
+h4. Centos7 Python 3 dependency upgraded to rh-python35
+
+As part of story "#9945":https://dev.arvados.org/issues/9945, the Python 3 dependency for Centos7 Arvados packages was upgraded from SCL python33 to rh-python35.
+
+h4. Centos7 package for libpam-arvados depends on the python-pam package, which is available from EPEL
+
+As part of story "#9945":https://dev.arvados.org/issues/9945, it was discovered that the Centos7 package for libpam-arvados was missing a dependency on the python-pam package, which is available from the EPEL repository. The dependency has been added to the libpam-arvados package. This means that going forward, the EPEL repository will need to be enabled to install libpam-arvados on Centos7.
+
+h4. New configuration
+
+Arvados is migrating to a centralized configuration file for all components. During the migration, legacy configuration files will continue to be loaded. See "Migrating Configuration":config-migration.html for details.
+
+h3. v1.3.0 (2018-12-05)
+
+This release includes several database migrations, which will be executed automatically as part of the API server upgrade. On large Arvados installations, these migrations will take a while. We've seen the upgrade take 30 minutes or more on installations with a lot of collections.
+
+The @arvados-controller@ component now requires the /etc/arvados/config.yml file to be present. See <a href="{{ site.baseurl }}/install/install-controller.html#configuration">the @arvados-controller@ installation instructions</a>.
+
+Support for the deprecated "jobs" API is broken in this release. Users who rely on it should not upgrade. This will be fixed in an upcoming 1.3.1 patch release, however users are "encouraged to migrate":upgrade-crunch2.html as support for the "jobs" API will be dropped in an upcoming release. Users who are already using the "containers" API are not affected.
+
h3. v1.2.1 (2018-11-26)
There are no special upgrade notes for this release.
