Platform Update on October 20th
Blog post from Semaphore
Scheduled for release on October 20th, 2015, the platform update introduces several software version upgrades, including Cassandra 2.2.2, Git 2.6.1, and Go 1.4.3 with important security fixes. io.js is updated to 3.3.1, MySQL to 5.6.27 with numerous InnoDB and Replication bug fixes, and NodeJS to 4.1.2, which users can implement via the nvm use command. PHP receives updates to versions 5.5.30 and 5.6.14, and RethinkDB is updated to 2.1.5. Users can test the new platform by selecting Ubuntu 14.04 LTS v1510 in the Project Settings and report issues before the final release. In the final release, Cassandra is updated to 2.2.3, Git to 2.6.2, and NodeJS 4.2.1 LTS is added. Redis is updated to 3.0.5, and Qt WebKit to 5.4.2 with backward compatibility and critical security fixes, though switching Qt versions requires expiring the project cache. A detailed changelog is available, and further discussion is encouraged on Discord.
