Version 2.4.0

Released on : 22/06/2026
License: GPL v3 Operational version

Features​

New plugin for rs-Notifier​

This new plugin, named fem-deletion-sender-plugin, can send feature deletion requests to another REGARDS instance. It can be combined with a rule to automatically delete a GeoJson product on another REGARDS instance when a GeoJson product is deleted from the catalogue on the current instance.

This is useful for synchronizing catalogues between two REGARDS systems, so the target REGARDS system can be notified that a product has been deleted from the source REGARDS system.

Add new frequencies for REGARDS notification​

For each user, REGARDS allows you to configure how often emails relating to a REGARDS notification are sent. Notifications can be viewed in the REGARDS user interface, and reminder emails are sent, depending on the settings, for unread notifications.

  • NEVER : no reminder emails are sent
  • IMMEDIATE_ONLY : a reminder email is sent once

Support for PostgreSQL SSL/TLS connections​

REGARDS version 2.4 introduces SSL/TLS connection support for databases.

SSL/TLS connections provide encryption for data transmitted between REGARDS microservices and PostgreSQL databases, ensuring secure communication. Two SSL modes are currently supported:

  • require: Forces an SSL/TLS encrypted connection. The connection will fail if the database does not support SSL/TLS.
  • prefer: Attempts to use an SSL/TLS encrypted connection if available, but falls back to an unencrypted connection if SSL/TLS is not supported by the database.

Breaking change​

Deployment​

You need to follow the Ansible migration guide to update your playbook from V2.3 to V2.4.

SSL connection to the database​

By default, REGARDS now connects to databases using sslmode=require. This means that if your project's PostgreSQL instance does not have SSL/TLS enabled, you must override this value in your inventory to use prefer mode.

SSL connection to the instance database can be controlled in the inventory, using the ssl.mode option. This option can be added under the following section in the inventory's group_vars/regards_nodes/main.yml file:

group_config_mservices:
  postgres:
    instance:
      ssl:
        mode: require  # or "prefer" if your database does not support SSL/TLS

Internal database​

If REGARDS internal postgres instance is used, SSL in database connections can be enabled by editing the inventory's group_vars/regards_nodes/main.yml file:

group_docker_cots:
  postgres:
    ssl: true
