New LinkAhead Release 0.17.0

New release 0.17.0

We released a new version of LinkAhead, which among other things, updates the LinkAhead component libraries to their most recent versions, and the underlying MariaDB to 11.4. This allows for accent-sensitive queries! As usual, you can find the Debian package on the download page.

Careful: Due to the MariaDB upgrade; you cannot easily downgrade to 0.16.1 and below after updating to 0.17.0, so make extra sure that you have a backup before upgrading.

What’s new?

  • Updated MariaDB image to 11.4.
  • Introduced a VERBOSITY variable for the linkahead image. Default is “1”; “2” and “3” might be nice for debugging.
  • The LinkAhead image now respects environment variables for the database connection. This is useful if the database image is configured differently than the linkahead script would do, e.g., when using a custom docker-compose file or terraform.

Component updates:

  • linkahead-pylib: 0.17.0 → 0.18.0
  • linkahead-mariadbbackend: 8.0.0 → 8.1.0
  • linkahead-webui: 0.15.2 → 0.16.0
  • linkahead-advanced-user-tools: 0.13.0 → 0.14.0
