A changelog of updates done to the Quantum Platform. This changelog features more technical aspects of our products and services operated on behalf of our customers.

2021-10-04
We updated our Managed Logging service to Loki's v2.3.0 release. Most notable internal changes are the following: - we improved the availability (and maintainability) of our Loki deployment by completely switching to object storage - we migrated the Loki deployment to our new cloud infrastructure (picture: AMD Epycs, NVMEs, updated network) - all requests to Loki is routed through our new proxy server which will enable a few more features for our customers down the road Most notable customer facing changes are: - (**breaking change**) 100% more transport encryption: we now require SSL/TLS on the logs endpoint - query restrictions if your query does not contain at least one `=` matcher (see [Loki's changelog](https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/upgrading/#230) for details) - since `v1.6.0`, Loki's `logql` (log query language) got an overall, which includes: - understands IP addresses (which may be very helpful sifting through your logs) - extended template functions - math functions - for more details, see the [official documentation](https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/logql/) - lots of performance improvements (which make writing logs and querying them more zippy)
2021-09-25
We migrated our Console to our (new) Cloud infrastructure. This migration improves reliability and performance for our customers.
2021-09-02
We released 2.6.0 improves the reliability of deployments when environment variables are used (e.g. for release versions or images). For details [click here](https://cli.planetary-quantum.com/).
2021-07-23
We migrated our Managed Registry to our (new) Cloud infrastructure. This migration improves reliability and performance for our customers.
2021-07-01
We released 2.5.0 (and minor follow-up) with enhancements for migrating stacks between various endpoints. The CLI now supports copying stacks including all volumes via `quantum-cli migration`. Upgrading clusters and moving stacks has never been easier for our customers. For details [click here](https://cli.planetary-quantum.com/).
2021-04-22
We update the console to Portainer's `2.1.1` release. Updating Portainer included porting our features and patches to this new release. These include: - integration with our custom [metrics dashboard](/platform/platform-metrics/) - enhanced health checking for Docker Swarm nodes - enhanced SSO integration with our [identity service](/platform/platform-auth/) to be able to sync teams and accounts - improved Docker Registry management for non-admin user accounts - improved security around Docker Registry handling (e.g. multiple customers or teams can use the same registry but different accounts) - improved volume management (for non-admin user accounts) Not visible to our customers (but for safety and release velocity), we also maintain two comprehensive and growing (e2e) test suits (powered by [Cypress](https://www.cypress.io/) and [bats](https://github.com/sstephenson/bats)).
2021-04-16
We released 2.4.0 with enhancements for the stack management lifecycle. The CLI now supports deleting stacks via `quantum-cli stack rm` as part of a CI/CD process. For details [click here](https://cli.planetary-quantum.com/).
2021-03-24
## quantum-cli We released `2.3.0` (& `2.3.1`) with the most notable enhanced support for environment variables and progress meters through out the deployment process. For details [click here](https://cli.planetary-quantum.com/).
