cflinuxfs3 has been removed from cf-deployment
Jochen Ehret
Dear CF Developers,
The latest release v30.0.0 of cf-deployment comes without the cflinuxfs3 stack and the cflinuxfs3 buildpacks [1]. The stack is based on Ubuntu Bionic and has reached end of life.
We have provided ops files to add cflinuxfs3 again, if needed [2] [3]. We will maintain new cflinuxfs3 versions as long as updates are published before finally removing the stack.
Best Regards,
Jochen.

Breaking Change in cflinuxfs4 1.0.0 release
Ryan
The cflinuxfs4 1.0.0 release has just been published: https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cflinuxfs4/releases/tag/1.0.0. This release marks the stabilization of the 1.0 release prior to the EOL for the cflinuxfs3 stack at the end of April.
As part of the 1.0.0 release, we have included 2 breaking changes that may have impacts on your application builds. The 1.0.0 cflinuxfs4 stack no longer includes a version of Python or Ruby that can be invoked. These language runtimes were previously included in the stack to allow the PHP and Java buildpacks to run given they are written in those languages. Prior to this change, the PHP and Java buildpacks have been updated to bring along their own versions of Python to Ruby such that they will continue to function. Users of these buildpacks will need to upgrade to supported versions of PHP (v4.6.0) and Java (v4.55) prior to upgrading the cflinuxfs4 stack to v1.0.0. |

Bumping to Go 1.20 in cf-d-c-t docker image
Carson Long
Dear CF Devs, The ARD working group will soon bump the base of the cloudfoundry/cf-deployment-concourse-tasks docker image to Go 1.20. [1]
We anticipate that most projects will be able to use the new docker image, and Go 1.20, for their existing use cases without any changes. However, we have noted at least one issue worth calling out: changes to the Go command in 1.20 have made it such that some binaries built on Linux are not compatible with other versions of Linux (ex: a Go binary compiled on an Ubuntu Jammy VM fails when pushed to cf-d with a cflinuxfs3 – Ubuntu Bionic – stack) unless compiled with the CGO_ENABLED=0 build flag. [2] [3]
If your project uses the latest tag of the cloudfoundry/cf-deployment-concourse-tasks image and you’re concerned about using Go 1.20, then you may want to consider locking to an older tag (i.e. v14.0.0) of the image for now. [4]
Best regards, Carson Long

Heads up: cflinuxfs4 rollout in cf-deployment
Jochen Ehret
Dear CF Developers,
we'd like to share with you the rollout plan of cflinuxfs4 in cf-deployment [1].
The current cflinuxfs3 stack is based on Ubuntu Bionic and will reach end of life in April 2023 [2]. We will replace it with the Jammy-based cflinuxfs4 stack when all buildpacks are available. We are still waiting for the php- and staticfile-buildpacks. The status is summarized in [3].
Step 1 (when all buildpacks are available): We will publish a cf-deployment release with cflinuxfs4 as the default stack. The cflinuxfs3 stack will still be available and we will provide an ops file to revert to fs3 as the default.
Step 2 (latest in April): We will remove the cflinuxfs3 stack and buildpacks. An ops file to add the (unmaintained) fs3 components back will be provided.
Both releases will be cut as incompatible major releases.
Best Regards,
Jochen.

Heads Up: The ginkgo CLI will be removed from the cloudfoundry/cf-deployment-concourse-tasks image moving forward
Carson Long
Dear CF Devs,
The ARD working group will soon release a cloudfoundry/cf-deployment-concourse-tasks image that no longer includes an installed ginkgo CLI. [1]
We have successfully migrated most of our projects to v2 of the Ginkgo module [2], which has been out for long enough that we hope most other projects have been done the same. Therefore, we started using v2 of the ginkgo CLI as well. However, we couldn't just install the latest version of the ginkgo CLI in our docker image, as, ever since Ginkgo v2.3.0, the CLI and the local library versions are required to be in sync. This has led us to manage our ginkgo CLI version as a typical Golang tool dependency and install/use it on-demand in our projects. [3]
If your project uses the latest tag of the cloudfoundry/cf-deployment-concourse-tasks image and hasn't yet migrated to Ginkgo v2, then you may want to consider locking to an older tag of the image until you complete your Ginkgo v2 upgrade or adjust your workflows accordingly.
Best regards, Carson Long

Heads up: Jammy stemcell in cf-deployment is coming
Jochen Ehret
Dear CF Developers,
we will soon release a new major version of cf-deployment [1] which switches the default stemcell from Bionic [2] to Jammy [3]. From then on, we will run the cf-deployment release and evaluation process only with Jammy. If you have a custom CF deployment, you should check if an upgrade to Jammy is possible.
For Bionic, we will set up a basic validation which deploys a default CF installation and runs the CF Acceptance and Smoke tests. We will also provide an ops file to switch back the default stemcell to Bionic.
If you have questions, you can contact us in the cf-deployment Slack channel [4].
Best Regards,
Application Runtime Deployments Working Group.
