October 2021 release
8 min
Release: 5.0.18.865
*NOTE: Optimizely updated the October release to version 5.0.18.865.
- This update addresses an issue an issue that could cause projects with certain ESLint errors to fail the build and prevent deployment. The updated build will still generate ESLint warnings but will not prevent a successful build.
- This latest update also resolves an issue where application and integration logs would not display properly for containerized sites. Elasticsearch has a delay before logs are displayed--typically 30 seconds to 1 minute. By default, all Spire sites are containerized, and we are in the process, over time, of migrating all Cloud sites into containers. (See Review application logs.)
The following is a complete list of the bug fixes and enhancements provided in the October 2021 Release. Some of the bug fixes listed below may address existing Support Articles. A comprehensive list is at the bottom of this page.
