Next Release

Collect changes for the next release below

@backstage/create-app

• Many plugins have been added to the catalog and will for now be required to be added to separate apps as well. This will be solved as #1536 gets sorted out, but for now you may need to install some plugins just to get pages to work.

@backstage/catalog-backend

• Added the possibility to add static locations via app-config.yaml. This changed the signature of new LocationReaders(logger) inside packages/backend/src/plugins/catalog.ts to new LocationReaders({config, logger}). #1890

@backstage/theme

• Changed the type signature of the palette, removing sidebar: string and adding navigation: { background: string; indicator: string}. #1880

v0.1.1-alpha.18

@backstage/catalog-backend

• Fixed an issue with duplicated location logs. Applying the database migrations from this fix will clear the existing migration logs. #1836

@backstage/auth-backend

This version fixes a breakage in CSP policies set by the auth backend. If you're facing trouble with auth in alpha.17, upgrade to alpha.18.

• OAuth redirect URLs no longer receive the env parameter, as it is now passed through state instead. This will likely require a reconfiguration of the OAuth app, where a redirect URL like http://localhost:7000/auth/google/handler/frame?env=development should now be configured as http://localhost:7000/auth/google/handler/frame. #1812

@backstage/core

• SignInPage props have been changed to receive a list of provider objects instead of simple string identifiers for all but the 'guest' and 'custom' providers. This opens up for configuration of custom providers, but may break existing configurations. See packages/app/src/App.tsx and packages/app/src/identityProviders.ts for how to bring back the existing providers. #1816

v0.1.1-alpha.17

@backstage/techdocs-backend

• The techdocs backend now requires more configuration to be supplied when creating the router. See packages/backend/src/plugins/techdocs.ts for an example. #1736

@backstage/cli

• The create-app command was moved out from the CLI to a standalone package. It's now invoked with npx @backstage/create-app instead. #1745
