Domibus 5.0.8 released

We are pleased to announce that Domibus 5.0.8 is now available. This latest release in the 5.0.x line of the sample implementation of the eDelivery Access Point includes several enhancements aimed at improving performance, fixing bugs and addressing security vulnerabilities. We strongly recommend you upgrade to this version to benefit from these improvements.

At the heart of this update is a focus on performance enhancements. Key improvements include refined query performance for payload handling and an optimised Messages page, ensuring quicker access and smoother navigation. By eliminating inefficient cross joins and enhancing the partitions retention mechanism, Domibus 5.0.8 delivers a more responsive and reliable solution.

We recognise the importance of security: this update introduces fixes to several security vulnerabilities, thereby fortifying Domibus' defence against potential threats. Furthermore, the 5.0.8 version provides a more robust mechanism for handling authentication errors, now logging them with a WARN status to improve issue tracking and resolution.

Domibus 5.0.8 is backward compatible with 5.0.7 and earlier 5.0 versions, with the exception for those using Access Points in PULL mode. For these Access Points, a fix in the validation of the party roles means that pre-5.0.8 PModes may not be compatible with Domibus 5.0.8. We have provided a way to temporarily bypass this validation until you can update your PMode. For detailed steps on what to do, please check the upgrade documentation. The upgrade is not mandatory but highly recommended.

We have also made Domibus tougher against issues that can happen during the upgrade process. Now, if your current version is not set up correctly or if there are problems during the upgrade, the migration scripts will not run or will stop to prevent bigger issues.

For release resources that detail new features and fixed bugs, as well as include upgrade steps, see Domibus v5.0.8.
