v0.14.0

Upgrade notes:

• In order for the currently existing Users to be indexed, you'll have to manually trigger a reindex. You can do that executing:

  Decidim::User.find_each(&:add_to_index_as_search_resource)

• If you have an external module that defines rake tasks and more than one engine, you probably want to add paths["lib/tasks"] = nil to all engines but the main one, otherwise the tasks you define are probably running multiple times unintentionally. Check #3892 for more details.

• Image compression settings : The quality settings can be set in Decidim initializer with Decidim.config.image_uploader_quality = 60. The quality setting is set to 80 by default because change is imperceptible. My own test show that a quality between 60 and 80 is optimal. You can use this feature with already uploaded images, it only affect newly uploaded file. If you want to apply new settings to previously uploaded images :

  • open rails console
  • Type the following :

  YourModel.find_each { |x| x.image.recreate_versions! if x.image? }

Where YourModel is the name of your model (eg. Decidim::User) and image is the name of your uploader (eg. avatar). As Decidim doesn't keep original file on upload, a file cannot be restored to original quality without re-uploading. Be careful when playing with this feature on production. Check #3984 for more details.

• Badges: Badges are introduced in the 0.14 as a way to add gamification and increase the amount of user interaction. In order to generate the scores of all the badges, please run an IRB session via rails console and execute:

  Decidim::Gamification.reset_badges

v0.12.0

Upgrade notes (authorizations):

Authorizations workflows now use a settings manifest to define their options.
That means site admins will no longer need to introduce raw json to define
authorization options. If you were previously using an authorization workflow
with options, you'll need to update the workflow manifest to define them. As an
example, if you were filtering an authorization only to users in the 08001
postal code via an authorization option (by introducing { "postal_code" : "08001" } in the options field of a participatory space action permissions),
you'll need to define it in the workflow manifest as:

Decidim::Verifications.register_workflow(:my_handler) do |workflow|
  # ... stuff ...

  workflow.options do |options|
    options.attribute :postal_code, type: :string, required: false
  end
end

If you have some custom modules from which you are registering a resource, you
will need to tweak how those resources are being registered as per #3416. You
must now set a resource name:

  # inside decidim-my-module/lib/decidim/my-module/component.rb
  component.register_resource(:my_resource) do |resource|
    resource.model_class_name = "Decidim::MyComponent::MyResource"
  end

Upgrade notes (search):

In order for the currently existing resources to be indexed, you'll have to
manually trigger a reindex. Since only proposals and meetings are currently
indexed, you can do that executing:

Decidim::Meetings::Meeting.find_each(&:add_to_index_as_search_resource)
Decidim::Proposals::Proposal.find_each(&:add_to_index_as_search_resource)

Upgrade notes (TOS):

Due to a bug that got fixed on this release, some organizations might not
have a TOS page, which some migrations rely on. Please execute this code on
production before upgrading so the pages get created correctly and the migrations
don't fail.

Decidim::Organization.find_each { |organization| Decidim::System::CreateDefaultPages.call(organization) }
