Juju 2.5.1 Release Notes

The Juju team is proud to release Juju 2.5.1!

This is a release primarily to address various performance issues found when running at scale. The major issues encountered related to start up of controllers and abnormal behaviour of leadership, both when the controllers are under heavy load.

There’s also a couple of cross model relations fixes, including a fix for allowing multiple offers of a single application.

Important information for older clients

This version reverts a change to larger socket buffer sizes to reduce memory overhead caused by many connections to the controller API. This will cause clients older than Juju 2.2 to have an error that looks like

ERROR codec.ReadHeader error: error receiving message: unexpected end of JSON input

If you hit this please update your Juju client to one that is Juju 2.2 or later.

Important fixes

  • LP #1815179 - It is not possible to actively use two offers of the same application at the same time
  • LP #1813151 - cmr: remote SAAS status incorrectly reported in consuming model
  • LP #1807735 - Juju controller cannot connect to itself
  • LP #1810331 - Mid-hook lost leadership issues
  • LP #1813104 - Massive goroutine leak (logsink 2.5.0)
  • LP #1813261 - api-server and http-server get stuck in “state: stopping”
  • LP #1813867 - Hubwatcher caches last modified revno for all docs (memory consumption)
  • LP #1814556 - lease Manager should not evaluate all Leases and all Blocks on every loop()
  • LP #1811700 - GetMeterStatus called too frequently
  • LP #1815719 - repeated ErrInvalid can cause lease.Manager to be stopped

Additional bugs fixed can be found in the milestone page.
