Hello,
I am thrilled to announce go-acme/lego v5!
This is a major release that brings a completely redesigned CLI, and powerful new features.
Wow, that looks like a big release with a lot of exciting changes! (You have no idea how happy I was to finally see a key rollover command.) I look forward to upgrading my systems. I've got a couple questions:
- The migration CLI guide says "Before upgrading to v5, please run the command
lego migrate." Does that literally mean before upgrading, like I should run that command on v4.35.2? Or just that after installing lego 5, runlego migratebefore running any other commands? - It may take a bit before I get a chance to upgrade all my systems (and scheduled scripts/etc.) using lego. How long will v4 be supported? I know that "support" can have a wide range of meanings, and I certainly wouldn't expect new features like new DNS providers or DNS-PERSIST-01 support to be backported, but if there were some security patch or the like will those still be released for v4?
- run
lego migratebefore running any other commands. (I will update the doc) - I don't have the answer for now about v4, I need to think about that.
I updated the doc to clarify the usage of lego migrate.
About the v4, I think only bug fixes directly related to CVEs may be backported if they are effectively critical for lego.
I mean that if a dependency has a CVE, but lego doesn't use the specific element related to the vulnerability, I will not backport the fix.
Also, I have very limited resources (time and money), I cannot commit to a specific duration for which I will maintain v4, my only promise is that I will do my best.
So, I recommend you to upgrade to v5 as soon as possible.
If you need help during the migration, please open a discussion, I will be happy to help you.
