Infrastructure updates–

• Added separate package for Magento Cloud Docker–Decoupled the Docker package from the ECE-Tools package to maintain code quality and provide independent releases. Updates and fixes related to ECE-Tools are managed from the magento-cloud-docker GitHub repository.
• Updated patching capabilities–Moved the Magento patching functionality from the ECE-Tools package to a separate magento-cloud-patches package. During deployment, ECE-Tools uses the new package to apply patches.
• Updated Composer dependencies–Updated the composer.json file for ECE-Tools with a dependency for the magento-cloud-docker package. Now, ECE-Tools includes dependencies for all components in the Magento Commerce Cloud Suite. These packages are installed and updated automatically when you install or update ECE-Tools.

Support for scenario-based deployments–

• Now you can customize the build, deploy, and post-deploy processes using XML configuration files to override or customize the default configuration.
• Changed the hooks configuration in .magento.app.yaml–We updated the hooks configuration format to support scenario-based deployments. The legacy format from earlier ECE-Tools 2002.0.x release is still supported. However, you must update to the new format to use the scenario-based deployment feature. See Scenario-based deployments.

Services updates–

• Added support for PHP 7.3.
• Added support for RabbitMQ 3.8.
• Added validation to check installed service versions against the EOL date for each service. Now, customers receive a notification if a service version is within three months of the EOL date, and a warning if the EOL date is in the past.
• Fixed an Elasticsearch configuration issue to ensure that the correct Elasticsearch settings are configured in all environments.

Environment variable updates–

• Extended the functionality of the WARM_UP_PAGES environment variable to support cache preloading for specific product pages.
• Added the ERROR_REPORT_DIR_NESTING_LEVEL environment variable to simplify error report data management in the <magento_root>/var/report/ directory. See the variable description in the build variables topic.
• Removed the SCD_EXCLUDE_THEMES, STATIC_CONTENT_THREADS, DO_DEPLOY_STATIC_CONTENT, SKIP_SCD, and STATIC_CONTENT_SYMLINK environment variables.
• Fixed an issue in the Elastic Suite configuration process so that the default configuration is overwritten as expected when you configure the ELASTICSUITE_CONFIGURATION deploy variable without the _merge option.

CLI command updates–

• New cron commandYou can now manually manage cron processing in your Magento Commerce Cloud environment using the cron:disableandcron:enable` commands. Use the disable command to stop all active cron processes and disable all Magento cron jobs. Use the enable command to re-enable cron jobs when you are ready.
• Improved error reporting–Added better logging for Magento CLI command failures that occur during ECE-Tools processing.
• Remove deprecated build commands–Removed the following build commands: m2-ece-build, m2-ece-deploy, m2-ece-scd-dump, and renamed ece-tools docker commands to ece-docker.
• Removed the deprecated build_options.ini file and added validation to fail the build if the file exists. Use the .magento.env.yaml file to configure build options.
• Fixed an issue that caused the build process to fail when the config.php file is empty.

2002.0.22

Changelog (4 related PRs)

The ece-tools 2002.0.22 release changes the structure of the ece-tools package to decouple the release of Magento Commerce Cloud patches from the ece-tools release. Starting with this release, patches and critical fixes will be delivered using the magento/magento-cloud-patches package, which is a new dependency for the ece-tools package. We made these changes to reduce complexity for scheduling release updates and working with community contributions.

Changes to the ece-tools package

• Moved the Magento Commerce patches from the ece-tools package to a new magento/magento-cloud-patches composer package.
• Updated the composer.json file for the ece-tools package to add a dependency for the magento/magento-cloud-patches v1.0.0 package.
• Fixed an issue that caused the ece-tools patching process to break when applying patch sets on top of security-only releases, starting with Magento version 2.3.2-p2 and later. This issue was introduced by the new versioning scheme adopted for security-only patches.

Patches and critical fixes

• Update your Cloud environments with ece-tools version 2002.0.22 to apply the following patches and critical fixes. These patches are included in the magento/magento-cloud-patches v1.0.0 package.
  • Page Builder security patches for 2.3.1.x and 2.3.2.x releases–Fixes an issue in Page Builder preview that allows unauthenticated users to access some templating methods that can be used to trigger arbitrary code execution over the network (RCE) resulting in global information leaks. This issue can occur when using unsupported versions of Page Builder with Magento Commerce versions 2.3.1 and 2.3.2.
  • MSI patches–Fixes issues that caused indexing errors and performance issues when using default inventory settings for managing stock.
  • Backward Compatibility of new Mail Interfaces-Fixes a backward incompatibility issue caused by the Magento\Framework\Mail\EmailMessageInterface PHP interface introduced in Magento Commerce v2.3.3. In the scope of this patch, the new EmailMessageInterface inherits from the old MessageInterface, and Magento Commerce core modules are reverted to depend on MessageInterface.
  • Catalog pagination does not work on Elasticsearch 6.x–Fixes a critical issue with search result pagination that affects customers using Elasticsearch 6.x as the catalog search engine.

2002.0.21

Changelog (21 related PRs)

• Docker updates—

  • New Docker Images—Supported by Magento versions 2.3.3 and later
    • PHP version 7.3.
    • Varnish Cache 6.2.0
  • Added support to apply custom hook configuration specified in .magento.app.yaml in the Docker environment. Previously, the Docker environment supported only the default hook configuration.
  • Docker ENV files are no longer generated during the Docker build, and the docker:config:convert command is deprecated. The corresponding data is now stored in the docker-compose.yml file.
  • Updated PHP image–Added Node.js to the PHP Docker image to support node, npm, and grunt-cli capabilities.

• Environment variable updates–

  • Added the LOCK_PROVIDER deploy variable to configure the lock provider which prevents the launch of duplicate cron jobs and cron groups.
  • Added the CONSUMERS_WAIT_FOR_MAX_MESSAGES environment variable to configure how consumers process messages from the message queue when using the CRON_CONSUMERS_RUNNER environment variable to manage cron jobs.

• Updated the logging information returned by the module:refresh command. Now, you can see a detailed list of enabled modules in the cloud.log file.

• Improved version compatibility validation and warning notifications for compatibility issues between Magento version and installed services, such as Elasticsearch, RabbitMq, Redis, and DB.

• Updated interactive validations for service compatibility to reflect supported versions for the new Magento 2.3.3 and 2.2.10 releases.

• Improved the log message returned when the cron job management process in the deploy phase tries to stop a cron job that has already finished to clarify that this issue is not an error. Changed the log level from INFO to DEBUG.

• Fixed an issue when running the setup:upgrade command that did not interrupt the deployment process when a failure occurred during the app:config:import task.

• Fixed an issue affecting WARM_UP_PAGES functionality that uses a default store URL. Now, if the config:show:default-url command cannot fetch a base URL, then the URL from the MAGENTO_CLOUD_ROUTES variable is used.

• Changed the default log level for the file handler to debug to reduce the amount of detail in the log displayed in the Project Web Interface, while still providing detailed information for debugging.

• Fixed an issue that can cause database deadlock errors when the consumers_runner cron job starts multiple instances of the same consumer on different nodes. Now, if you have enabled the CRON_CONSUMERS_RUNNER deploy variable in your environment, the consumers_runner job uses the single-thread option to start one instance of each consumer on only one node.

• Fixed an issue that caused an error with static content deployment during build. After a Magento installation and config dump, an error occurred if there was no locale specified for the admin user in the config.php file. Now, there is a default locale for the admin user in the config.php file.

• Fixed an Undefined index error that occurs when a Magento Cloud CLI command fails in an environment that is not configured with a secure URL (https). Now, the ece-tools package uses the base URL (http) if the secure URL is not available.
