What’s New and Noteworthy in This Release?
Here’s what’s new in release 3.72.0.
Upgrade to 3.72.0 with Zero Downtime (Pro High Availability Deployments Only)
As announced in release 3.71.0 , HA Nexus Repository deployments can enable zero-downtime upgrades in 3.71.0 and upgrade to 3.72.0 without downtime. To do this, you will need to enable rolling upgrades on all nodes in your deployment before upgrading and ensure that you meet the requirements for rolling upgrades. Read more in our zero-downtime help documentation.
Note that rolling upgrades require nodes to temporarily be on different versions (mixed mode); this is only supported during an active rolling upgrade when zero-downtime upgrades are enabled on every node in a cluster. If you attempt to upgrade without downtime without enabling zero-downtime upgrades on one of your nodes, you will encounter an error when Nexus Repository detects mixed mode without zero-downtime upgrades enabled.
View Published and Last Downloaded Date in Cleanup Preview CSV (PostgreSQL Only)
In release 3.62.0, we introduced the ability for those using PostgreSQL deployments to download a CSV listing the components that a given cleanup policy would identify for cleanup. This CSV now includes columns listing those components' publication and last downloaded dates to help administrators ensure they are cleaning up the correct components.
This feature was made possible through your feedback in the Sonatype Ideas Portal.
New Configurable Database Refetch Limit for Search in High Availability Deployments
High Availability (HA) Nexus Repository deployments now have a default limit of 10 trips to the database to return a search result set. This is because keyword searches in very large HA deployments can result in repeated database queries, which can impact performance. To provide administrators with more granular control over search performance, we have added a Search Configuration capability that they can use to modify or disable this refetch limit. For some customers, adjusting the limit may result in missing or empty search results. Setting the refetch limit to “-1” will allow unlimited database queries.
The Search Configuration capability is only available in HA deployments. For details on configuring this capability, see the Capabilities help documentation.
Upcoming Changes to Minimum PostgreSQL Version
Please note that beginning in December 2024, Sonatype Nexus Repository deployments using a PostgreSQL database will require PostgreSQL version 14 or newer.
Bug Fixes
