SpinFire Publish 2025.1.0 Release Notes

Overview

SpinFire Publish 2025.1.0 updates importers, consolidates installation experience, simplifies the way services are configured and ran, and fully supports migrating away from ArangoDB to an internal database. (NB: Starting with this version, ArangoDB is no longer supported as a database for Publish customers).

SpinFire Publish (formerly Centro CAD Publisher) customers MUST now use a one-time app to migrate from the 3rd-party-managed database (ArangoDB) to an app-managed database (SQLite).

New Features and Improvements

• Simplify installation and upgrade procedures, now only require a single installer

• Merge Pipeline Manager and Pipeline Host Service into a single PipelineService

• Merge configuration folders for all apps into a single common source

• Applications retain their 'Log on as' settings during an upgrade (only for upgrades beyond 2025.1.0)

• Remember destination folder of previous install during upgrade

• Enable Test Action in Publish mode (was previously only available in SpinFire Manage)

• Disabled overly-verbose ‘svclog’ logging

• Importer updates:

Bug Fixes

• Pipeline Host fails to start when Pipelines have schedules

• Constraint violation error when importing pipeline

• ‘Some jobs had errors in the last 24 hours’ button now correctly loads errored jobs with updates within the last 24 hours.

• Users registering themselves should themselves be the Agent on the UserAdded Activity

SDK Users:

• The CentroActionsIntegrationExample still expects an existing ArangoDB database to retrieve importer options from. We recommend customers using SpinFire Publish and the SDK to migrate to SQLite but leave their ArangoDB 3.11 instance running for the SDK portion. We are planning to remove the SDK dependency on ArangoDB in an upcoming release.

• Note that when building the CentroActionsIntegrationExample, adding a Core.Standard.dll reference to the project is now also required alongside the previous references.

• Visual Studio Projects using the Centro SDK must now target .NET Framework 4.8 minimum and turn on automatic binding redirects. 

Supported Environments

It's recommended to have n+1 core processors where n is the number of total concurrent jobs running.

^† The amount of available free space is dependent on the amount and size of files and revisions uploaded as resources to the Catalog.
