Changes for v1.4.1

  • Removed the quoting of the role and warehouse identifiers that was added to the Snowflake engine in v1.4.0. Turns out Snowflake allows a warehouse to be specified in a different database, in which case dots are valid in the name and should not be quoted! So users must properly quote when necessary, but added notes to sqitchtutorial-snowflake.pod on the need to use URI escapes for special characters. Thanks to Patrick Sabo for the find, and to @marc-marketparts for validating that URI encoding works.
  • Added notes on URL encoding database URLs to sqitch-target.pod, the main reference for database URLs in the Sqitch documentation.
  • Fixed the output of the list of changes to be deployed or reverted to actually require --verbose twice, as described in the v1.4.0 changes, and not just once. Thanks to Erik Wienhold for the PR (#785)!
  • Removed the duplicate change name from the output of the list of changes to be deployed or reverted with -VV. Thanks to Erik Wienhold for the PR (#787)!
  • Fixed invalid template resolution when adding a singe change to multiple engines at once. Thanks to Christian Riedel for the detailed bug report (#795)!
  • Fixed Oracle and Firebird test failures due to incorrect use of chmod. Thanks to Slaven Rezić for the report and the fix (#807)!
  • Tests now require Test::Warn 0.31 or later, as newline handling issues cause test failures in earlier versions. Thanks to Slaven Rezić for the test reports and for identifying the issue.
  • Updated the locale configuration to fix issues in more recent versions of Perl, and added tests to ensure that the sqitch CLI executes and properly emits localized messages (except on Windows, where the language codes are incompatible).
  • Fixed an issue where the MySQL engine failed to recognize the MariaDB mysql client installed by Homebrew on macOS. Thanks to Carlos Ramos for the bug report and PR (#791)!

Changes for v1.4.0

  • Fixed Snowflake warehouse and role setup to properly quote identifiers unless they're valid unquoted identifiers or already quoted. Thanks to @marc-marketparts for the report (#685).
  • Fixed a bug reworking a change when a rework directory is configured but not created. Thanks to @jfeaver for the report (#686).
  • Output the list of changes to be deployed or reverted when --verbose is specified at least twice. Thanks to @vectro for the PR (#702).
  • Fixed the formatting of the log and plan commands to allow empty or 0 separators in lists of things (such as %{0}t for a list of tags). Thanks to @web-vertalo for the pull request (#703).
  • Updated the MySQL Tutorial to use 5.7 features. Thanks to Vlad Safronov for the PR (#705).
  • Deprecated the no_prompt and no_prompt attributes of App::Sqitch::Engine in favor of passing booleans to the revert and verify methods. The attributes still exist for reverse compatibility, but now emit warnings and will be removed in the future. Thanks to Thanks to @vectro for the PR (#704).
  • Added a warning for a double extension on the file names created by the add command. Thanks to @blairjordan for the PR (#724)!
  • Added the revert.strict boolean configuration variable which, when set to true, requires the specification of a change to revert to. It also disables the rebase and checkout commands, though the rebase.strict and checkout.strict variables, respectively, may override it. Use revert.strict to prevent accidental reverts in sensitive environments. Thanks to @vectro for the PR (#719; revised in #735)!
  • Fixed test failures due to a bug fix in the Perl URI module (libwww-perl/URI#13). Thanks to @bobfang for the report (#744)!
  • Fixed test failures due to a change in the generation of DBI DSN by URI::Oracle introduced by libwww-perl/URI-db#23.
  • Added a format option %F to sqitch plan that prints the path for the deploy file for each migration in the plan.
  • Changed the default location for the Oracle sqlplus client when the ORACLE_HOME environment variable is set. It now returns either $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus or $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus if it exists and is executable (and ends in .exe on Windows). Otherwise it simply returns sqlplus as before, assuming it will be found in the path. Thanks to @vectro for the suggestion (#747).
  • Increased the required version of DBI to 1.631 or higher and removed a MySQL engine workaround for older versions.
  • Added detection of a missing registry schema on connect and conditions to avoid querying it when it does not exist. Fixes an issue where Sqitch might find a project record in the current schema instead of the expected registry schema. Thanks to @vectro for the report and investigation (#668)!
  • Fixed Snowflake and MySQL to properly raise errors on session query failures immediately after connection.
  • Fixed the handling of unique violations for deploy script hash uniqueness so that it no longer returns a database error but properly reports the issue in a more human-friendly error message. Thanks to Stefan Badenhorst for the reminder (#630).
  • Updated the registry SQL scripts for Vertica to always enable primary key and unique constraints. Unique constraints are now enabled for all database engines except Exasol and Snowflake.
  • Dropped support for Vertica 7.1, as unique constraint enforcement was not added until Vertica 7.2.
  • Increased minimum SQLite versions to 3.8.6, when unique constraint enforcement was added.
  • Removed remaining uses of the smartmatch operator, thus eliminating the Perl 5.38 warnings about its deprecation. (#769)
  • Added Cockroach to the list of valid engines recognized in command-line arguments (and a test to ensure new engines won't be omitted in the future). Thanks to @NOBLES5E for the spot (#772)!

Changes for v1.3.1

  • Fixed a bug introduced in v1.3.0 where the Postgres engine would always pass the port to psql, thus ignoring the PGPORT environment variable. Thanks to Cam Feenstra for the spot (#675)!
  • Fixed test failures on OSes where the local time zone cannot be determined. Thanks to Slaven Rezić for the test reports, and to Dave Rolsky for the solution (#672).
  • Updated the MySQL deploy/revert lock to be specific to the target database. This allows multiple instances of Sqitch to run at the same time on the same server as long as they're connecting to different databases. Thanks to Dmytro Kh for the report and discussion of the options (#670).
  • Fixed test failures where DBD::Mem was not installed. Likely only occurred on some CPAN Testers nodes. Thanks to Slaven Rezić for those (#673).
  • Banned the backslash character (\) in change and tag names. It would be ignored on Unix-style systems, but create unexpected subdirectories on Windows systems.
  • Banned the slash character (/) in tag names. They're still allowed in change names to enable script organization, but can wreak havoc when used in tag names. Thanks to @ewie for the report (#680)!

Changes for v1.3.0

  • Fixed an issue when testing Firebird on a host with Firebird installed but no isql, and when using a local Firebird (e.g., the Engine12 provider), which allows only one connection at a time. Thanks to Slaven Rezić for the the reproducible configuration (#597).
  • Tweaked the Postgres engine to support Yugabyte. The only unsupported features are explicit locks, so users need to manually ensure that only one instance of Sqitch is updating the cluster at a time.
  • Added support for CockroachDB. Almost exactly the same as for Postgres, so the new App::Sqitch::Engine::cockroach class extends App::Sqitch::Engine::pg to make a few changes. The SQL files with the registry DDL varies in a few ways, so they're separate.
  • Now require URI::db v0.20 for Cockroach and Yugabyte URI support.
  • Dropped support for MySQL 5.0.
  • Added explicit sorting for aggregated lists (such as the tags associated with a commit) to the MySQL, Exasol, Snowflake, and Postgres (8.4 and higher) engines.
  • Fixed slow deploys on MariaDB thanks to fractional timestamp support added in 5.03.05. Thanks to @rbrigot for the PR (#658)!
  • Fixed a bug where destination locking failed on the first deploy to MySQL. Bug introduced along with destination locking in v1.2.0. Thanks Tom Bloor the report and to Alberto Simões for the help replicating the issue (#601).
  • Removed the sqitch engine update-config action, originally added for compatibility reasons in 2014, and the prompt to use it was removed as of 0.9999 in 2019.
  • Fixed a warning when searching for the Firebird client on Windows.

Changes for v1.2.1

  • Updated all the live engine tests, aside from Oracle, to test with unique registry names, so as to avoid conflicts when multiple instances are being tested at once. Thanks to Slaven Rezić for the report (#597).
  • Removed local directory from the distribution, accidentally included in v1.2.0. Thanks to gregor herrmann for the report (#600).

Changes for v1.2.0

  • Fixed partitioned search for deployed changes on Oracle and Exasol to correctly support plans with more than 250 changes. Thanks to @Nicqu for the report (#521).
  • DBI connections to the registry will now be set to trace level one when a verbosity level of three or higher is passed to Sqitch (i.e., sqitch -vvv). Thanks to @wkoszek for the suggestion (#155).
  • Renamed the "master" branch to "main" and updated all relevant references.
  • Fixed the parsing of the Snowflake account name from the target URL to that it no longer strips out the region and cloud platform parts. Also deprecated the use of the region, host, and port config and environment variables. This is to comply with the new account name format. Thanks to @ldsingh00 for the report (#544).
  • The checkout command will now show a usage statement when no branch name is passed to it, rather than a series of warnings and a Git error. Thanks to François Beausoleil for the report (#561).
  • The checkout command now works when operating on a Sqitch project in a subdirectory of a Git project. Thanks to François Beausoleil for the report and suggested fix (#560).
  • Fixed a failing bundle test when a top directory was configured in the user or system configuration. Thanks to @CodingMinds for the spot (#587).
  • Added support to the Exasol engine for the AUTHMETHOD query parameter (to allow Open ID authentication) and the SSLCERTIFICATE=SSL_VERIFY_NONE query parameter to disable SSL verification. Thanks to Torsten Glunde for the report (#588).
  • Fixed "Use of uninitialized value $engine in concatenation" error when Sqitch is unable to determine the engine when writing a plan file. Only happens in the rare case that the core.engine value is not set.
  • Improved the error message when attempting to update a plan file and no project pragma is present. Thanks to Laurentiu Diaconu for the report (#577).
  • Fixed the error message when attempting to deploy a change that has already been deployed to display the name of the change, rather than a memory address. Thanks to Neil Mayhew for the report (#579).
  • Added destination locking, currently implemented for PostgresQL and MySQL. On starting a deploy or revert, Sqitch attempts to "lock the destination" using advisory locks, to ensure that only one instance of Sqitch makes changes to the database at any one time. This complements the existing locking, which applies as each change is deployed or reverted, as that pattern led to failures when multiple instances of Sqitch were working at once. Thanks to Neil Mayhew for the report (#579).
  • Added the --lock-timeout option to the deploy, revert, rebase, and checkout commands, to allow for shorter or longer times to wait for an exclusive target database advisory lock for engines that support it. Defaults to 60 seconds.
  • Fixed the behavior of the plan command's --max-count option when used with --reverse to show the proper items. Thanks to Adrian Klaver for the report (#517).
  • Fixed an issue that could cause bugs with the check command on Firebird, Exasol, Oracle, and Vertica. Broken since the check command was added in v1.1.0.

Changes since v1.0.0

  • Fixed Perl Pod errors, thanks to a pull request from Mohammad S Anwar (#470).
  • Fixed test failures when running with the localization set to German or Italian. Thanks to Slaven Rezić for the report (#472).
  • Fixed an issue when the full name of the current user is not set, so that it properly falls back on the username. Thanks to Slaven Rezić and Matthieu Foucault for the report and testing various fixes (#473).
  • Eliminated an error when using the -t option to specify a target, due to a missing dependency declaration in the Target class. Thanks to Clinton Adams for the fix (#509)!
  • Updated the IPC::System::Simple Win32 workaround added in 0.9999 to properly support released versions of IPC::System::Simple. This fixes errors running the database command-line clients on Windows (#503).
  • Sqitch now only passes the --password option to the MySQL client if it was not read from the .my.cnf file, as it's more secure to let the client use .my.cnf, and it eliminates a warning from recent versions of the client. Thanks to Kiel R Stirling for the fix (#484)!
  • Added a note to the tutorials to skip setting the engine.$engine.client config when using the Docker image.
  • Added the new check command, which compares the SHA1 hashes of the deploy scripts to the database, and reports if any have been modified since they were deployed. Thanks to Matthieu Foucault for the pull
    request and diligent work on this feature (#477)!
  • Added the --modified option to the rebase and revert commands, to revert to the earliest change with a modified deploy script. Handy for rapid rebasing during iterative development cycles. Thanks to Matthieu
    Foucault for this feature (#477)!
  • Fixed an issue where the Snowflake engine would complain about not finding the account name even for commands that don't need them, such as init. Thanks to Stack Overflow user vbp13 for the report (#502).

Changes since v0.9999

  • Fixed test failure due to a hard-coded system error that may be localized on non-en-US hosts. Thanks to Slaven Rezić for the catch (#427).
  • Now require Test::MockModule 0.17 to silence a warning during testing. Thanks to Slaven Rezić for the suggestion.
  • Fixed an error when Sqitch is run with no arguments. Thanks to Henrik Tudborg for the report (#428).
  • Fixed missing dependency on IO::Pager in the distribution metadata.
  • Removed use of File::HomeDir, thanks to a PR from Karen Etheridge (#433).
  • Updated the tagline from "Sane database change management" to "Sensible database change management" out of sensitivity to those subject to mental illness (#435).
  • Removed double-quoting of SQLite commands on Windows, inadvertently added by the workaround for Windows quoting in v0.9999.
  • Fixed a Snowflake issue where Sqitch failed to recognize the proper error code for a missing table and therefore an uninitialized registry. Thanks to @lerouxt and @kulmam92 for the report and fix (#439).
  • Added check for project initialization when no engine config can be found. When run from a directory with no configuration, Sqitch now reports that the project is not initialized instead of complaining about a lack of engine config (#437).
  • Documented Snowflake key pair authentication in sqitch-authentication, as well as $SNOWSQL_PRIVATE_KEY_PASSPHRASE in sqitch-environment. Thanks to Casey Largent for figuring it out (#441).
  • Added the German localization. Thanks to Thomas Iguchi for the pull request (#451).
  • Renamed the French localization from "fr" to "fr_FR", so that systems will actually find it.
  • Added the ask_yes_no() method as a replacement for ask_y_n(), which is now deprecated. The new method expects localized responses from the user when translations are provided. Defaults to the English "yes" and "no" when no translation is available. Suggested by German translator Thomas Iguchi (#449).
  • Fixed a bug where only project without a URI was allowed in the registry. Thanks to Conding-Brunna for the report (#450).
  • Clarified the role of project URIs for uniqueness: They don't allow multiple projects with the same name, but do prevent the deployment of a project with the same name but different URI.
  • Fixed an issue where target variables could not be found when a target name was not lowercase. Thanks to @maximejanssens for the report (#454).
  • Now require Config::GitLike 1.15 or higher.
  • Fixed the indentation of variables emitted by the show actions of the target and engine commands, fixing a "Negative repeat count does nothing" warning in the process. Thanks to @maximejanssens for the
    report (#454).
  • Fixed a Snowflake test failure when the current system username has a space or other character requiring URI escaping. Thanks to Ralph Andrade for the report (#463).
  • Fixed an issue where a wayward newline in some versions of SQLite prevented Sqitch from parsing the version. Thanks to Kivanc Yazan for the report (#465) and the fix (#465)!
  • Fixed an error when Sqitch was run on a system without a valid username, such as some Docker environments. Thanks to Ferdinand Salis for the report (#459)!
  • When Sqitch finds the registry does not exist on PostgreSQL, it now sends a warning to the PostgreSQL log reporting that it will initialize the database. This is to reduce confusion for folks watching the PostgreSQL error log while Sqitch runs (#314).

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a test failure with the MySQL max limit value, mostly exhibited
    on BSD platforms.
  • Removed fallback in the PostgreSQL engine on the $PGUSER and $PGPASSWORD
    environnement variables, as well as the system username, since libpq does
    all that automatically, and collects data from other sources that we did not
    (e.g., the password and connection service files). Thanks to Tom Bloor for
    the report (issue #410).
  • Changed dependency validation to prevent an error when a change required
    from a different project has been reworked. Previously, when requiring a
    change such as foo:greeble, Sqitch would raise an error if foo:greeble
    was reworked, suggesting that the dependency be tag-qualified to eliminate
    ambiguity. Now reworked dependencies may be required without
    tag-qualification, though tag-qualification should still be specified if
    functionality as of a particular tag is required.
  • Added a workaround for the shell quoting issue on Windows. Applies to
    IPC::System::Simple 1.29 and lower. See
    pjf/ipc-system-simple#29
    for details (#413).
  • Fixed an issue with the MariaDB client where a deploy, revert, or verify
    failure was not properly propagated to Sqitch. Sqitch now passes
    --abort-source-on-error to the Maria mysql client to ensure that SQL
    errors cause the client to abort with an error so that Sqitch can properly
    handle it. Thanks to @mvgrimes for the original report and, years later, the
    fix (#209).
  • Fixed an issue with command argument parsing so that it truly never returns
    a target without an engine specified, as documented.
  • Removed documentation for methods that don't exist.
  • Fixed test failures due to a change in Encode v2.99 that's stricter about
    undef arguments that should be defined.

Improvements

  • The Snowflake engine now consults the connections.warehousename,
    connections.dbname, and connections.rolename variables in the SnowSQL
    configuration file (~/.snowsql/config) before falling back on the
    hard-coded warehouse name "sqitch" and using the system username as the
    database name and no default for the role.
  • Switched to using a constant internally to optimize windows-specific code
    paths at compile time.
  • When deploy detects undeployed dependencies, it now eliminates duplicates
    before listing them in the error message.
  • Now requiring IO::Pager v0.34 or later for its more consistent interface.
  • Added notes about creating databases to the tutorials. Thanks to Dave Rolsky
    for the prompt (#315).
  • Added a status message to tell the user when the registry is being updated,
    rather than just show each individual update. Thanks to Ben Hutton for the
    suggestion (#276).
  • Added support for a $SQITCH_TARGET environment variable, which takes
    precedence over all other target specifications except for command-line
    options and arguments. Thanks to @mvgrimes for the suggestion (#203).
  • Fixed target/engine/change argument parsing so it won't automatically fail
    when core.engine isn't set unless no targets are found. This lets engines
    be determined strictly from command-line arguments -- derived from targets,
    or just listed on their own -- whether or not core.engine is set. This
    change eliminates the need for the no_default parameter to the
    parse_args() method of App::Sqitch Command. It also greatly reduces the
    need for the core --engine option, which was previously required to work
    around this issue (see below for its removal).
  • Refactored config handling in tests to use a custom subclass of
    App::Sqitch::Config instead of various mocks, temporary files, and the like.
  • Added advice to use the PL/pgSQL ASSERT() function for verify scripts to
    the Postgres tutorial. Thanks to Sergii Tkachenko for the PR (#425).

Target Variables

  • The verify command now reads deploy.variables, and individual
    verify.variables override deploy.variables, on the assumption that the verify variables in general ought to be the same as the deploy variables. This makes verifyvariable configuration consistent withrevert` variable
    configuration.
  • Variables set via the --set-deploy option on the rebase and checkout
    commands no longer apply to both reverts and deploys, but only deploys. Use
    the --set option to apply a variable to both reverts and deploys.
  • Added support for core, engine, and target variable configuration. The
    simplest way to use them is via the --set option on the init, engine,
    and target commands. These commands allow the configuration of database
    client variables for specific engines and targets, as well as defaults that
    apply to all change execution commands (deploy, revert, verify,
    rebase, and checkout). The commands merge the variables from each level
    in this priority order:
    • --set-deploy and --set-revert options on rebase and checkout
    • --set option
    • target.$target.variables
    • engine.$engine.variables
    • deploy.variables, revert.variables, and verify.variables
    • core.variables
      See sqitch-configuration for general documentation of of the hierarchy for
      merging variables and the documentation for each command for specifics.

Options Unification

  • Added the --chdir/--cd/-C option to specify a directory to change to
    before executing any Sqitch commands. Thanks to Thomas Sibley for the
    suggestion (#411).
  • Added the --no-pager option to disable the pager (#414).
  • Changed command-line parsing to allow core and command options to appear
    anywhere on the line. Previously, core options had to come before the
    command name, and command options after. No more. The caveat is that command
    options that take arguments should either appear after the command or use
    the --opt=val syntax instead of --opt val, so that Sqitch doesn't think
    val is the command. Even in that case, it will search the rest of the
    arguments to find a valid command. However, to minimize this challenge, the
    documentation now suggests and demonstrates putting all options after the
    command, like so: sqitch [command] [options].
  • Simplified and clarified the distinction between core and command options by
    removing all options from the core except those that affect output and
    runtime context. The core options are:
    • -C --chdir --cd Change to directory before performing any actions
    • --etc-path Print the path to the etc directory and exit
    • --no-pager Do not pipe output into a pager
    • --quiet Quiet mode with non-error output suppressed
    • -V --verbose Increment verbosity
    • --version Print the version number and exit
    • --help Show a list of commands and exit
    • --man Print the introductory documentation and exit
  • Relatedly, single-letter core options will now always be uppercase, while
    single-letter command options will be lowercase. As such, -V has been
    added as an alias for --version, although -v remains for now,
    undocumented. It may be removed in the future should a compelling use for
    -v in a command be discovered.
  • All other options have been moved to the commands they affect. Their use
    should remain mostly unchanged now that command options are parsed from
    anywhere on the command-line, although we recommend that all options come
    after commands. The options were moved as follows:
    • --registry, --client, --db-name, --db-user, --db-host, and
      --db-port (and their aliases) have been moved to the checkout,
      deploy, log, rebase, revert, status, upgrade, and
      verify commands.
    • --plan-file and --top-dir (deprecated; see below) have been moved
      to the add, bundle, checkout, deploy, rebase, revert,
      rework, show, status, tag, and verify commands. They were
      already supported by the init, engine, and target commands
      (where --top-dir is not deprecated).
  • Because some command options conflicted with core options, a few options
    have been removed altogether, including:
  • The --verbose option on the --engine and --target commands has been
    removed, but no visible change should be apparent, since those commands now
    read the core --verbose option.
  • The undocumented --dir alias for --top-dir has been removed, as it
    conflicted with the option of the same name but different meaning in the
    init, engine, and target commands.
  • The -d alias for --set-deploy in the rebase and checkout commands
    has been changed to -e so as not to conflict with the -d alias for
    --db-name.
  • Added tests for all commands to ensure none of their options conflict with
    core options. Will help prevent conflicts in the future.

Deprecations & Removals

  • Deprecated the --top-dir option in favor of --chdir with a warning
    except when used for configuration in the init, engine, and target
    commands.
  • Removed the core --deploy-dir, --revert-dir, and --verify-dir options,
    which have been deprecated and triggering warnings since v0.9993 (August
    2015). The --dir option to the init, engine, and target commands
    remains the favored interface for specifying script directories.
  • Removed the deprecated core --engine option. The init command still
    supports it, while other commands are able to parse the engine nam...

  • Now Require DBD::SQLite compiled with SQLite 3.7.11 or higher. It
    always has, but now it throws a meaningful exception if an older
    version is compiled into DBD::SQLite. Thanks to Damon Buckwalter for
    the report.
  • When a deploy fails because of missing dependencies, the list of
    missing dependencies no longer contains duplicates. Thanks to Damon
    Buckwalter for the report.
