Release v1.56.0-next.2

Upgrade Helper: https://backstage.github.io/upgrade-helper/?to=1.56.0-next.2

@backstage/plugin-org@0.8.0-next.1​

Minor Changes​

  • 1557a8c: Added a swappable UserAvatar component and wired org plugin surfaces to use it for user profile pictures.

Patch Changes​

  • Updated dependencies
    • @backstage/plugin-catalog-react@3.2.4-next.1
    • @backstage/core-components@0.18.15-next.2

@backstage/plugin-techdocs@1.19.0-next.1​

Minor Changes​

  • 4a5b52d: TechDocs now uses the default NotFoundErrorPage when documentation is missing, instead of its own TechDocs-specific page.

    This means if you have provided an override to the NotFoundErrorPage component it will now be used within TechDocs when documentation is missing as well.

    One thing to note is that the default not found page shows "PAGE NOT FOUND" rather than "Documentation not found".

Patch Changes​

  • Updated dependencies
    • @backstage/plugin-catalog-react@3.2.4-next.1
    • @backstage/plugin-techdocs-react@1.3.16-next.2

@backstage/plugin-techdocs-backend@2.4.0-next.2​

Minor Changes​

  • 45b0b89: Added a get-techdocs-metadata action to the TechDocs backend plugin, registered with the Actions Registry Service (alpha).

Patch Changes​

  • 685aee1: Fixed TechDocs asset caching on reused HTTP connections to avoid listener leaks and cross-request response corruption. Existing cached assets are refreshed automatically.
  • Updated dependencies
    • @backstage/plugin-techdocs-node@2.0.3-next.2
    • @backstage/integration@2.1.3-next.1
    • @backstage/plugin-techdocs-common@0.1.2-next.0

@backstage/backend-defaults@0.18.1-next.2​

Patch Changes​

  • a6bc5e4: Stopped issuing periodic per-plugin database keepalive queries by default and changed the default minimum PostgreSQL and MySQL connection pool size to zero. Idle connections can now be retired after the configured timeout, while explicitly configured pool minimums are preserved. Set backend.database.keepalive: true to continue issuing the periodic queries.
  • Updated dependencies
    • @backstage/cli-node@0.3.5-next.1
    • @backstage/integration@2.1.3-next.1

@backstage/backend-openapi-utils@0.7.3-next.2​

Patch Changes​

  • 812225c: Fixed the OpenAPI validation test server wrapper to support supertest 7.3 by returning a standard server address for the validation proxy.

@backstage/cli-module-package-manager-yarn@0.1.3-next.2​

Patch Changes​

  • 84cfb88: Added a conservative --fix mode to backstage-cli pm verify-patches that can update project-owned Backstage package patches when an automated release upgrade leaves them pinned to older versions. The repair requires Yarn 3 or later.
  • Updated dependencies
    • @backstage/cli-node@0.3.5-next.1

@backstage/cli-node@0.3.5-next.1​

Patch Changes​

  • 7c6ab3d: Commands run through runCli now wait for stdout and stderr to be flushed before exiting, so large command output is no longer truncated on platforms where writes to stdout and stderr are asynchronous.

  • 6dc6bc6: Fixed CLIs created with runCli silently exiting when the root or a command group is invoked without a subcommand. They now display help for that level and complete successfully.

    Help output now lists groups and commands in separate, alphabetically sorted sections. Group previews adapt to the terminal width, using 80 columns when unavailable. Nested groups expand breadth-first when space permits; unexpanded groups retain a trailing slash and truncated previews end in an ellipsis.

@backstage/core-components@0.18.15-next.2​

Patch Changes​

  • 76ac6ed: Updated dependency js-yaml to ^5.0.0.

@backstage/create-app@0.9.3-next.2​

    • @backstage/plugin-techdocs-common@0.1.2-next.0

@backstage/plugin-catalog-backend@4.0.1-next.2​

Patch Changes​

  • 589dcef: Fixed an issue where successfully processed entities could remain unavailable if stitch scheduling was interrupted.

  • a69d971: Improved the reliability of deferred stitching. Pending stitching work is no longer lost when entities are deleted and re-added, and updated instances prevent timed-out stitching attempts from overwriting or removing work taken over by another updated instance. During rolling upgrades from older versions, instances may still perform redundant stitching. On MySQL, protection against overlapping writes remains best-effort.

  • 476f042: Fixed entities disappearing from filtered and sorted catalog queries after a database error during stitching. The final entity and its search index rows are now written together, so a failure part way through is rolled back and retried in full. Previously the entity could be left with a search index that no longer matched it, and because the entity itself looked up to date, every later stitch attempt skipped it. Such an entity stayed readable by direct lookup while missing from list queries that filter or sort, until it was next edited.

    PostgreSQL and MySQL deadlocks trigger prompt, bounded retries of the entire write transaction, skipping the write if newer stitching work has superseded it. If retries are exhausted, queued work remains available for recovery after the stitching timeout.

  • Updated dependencies

@backstage/plugin-catalog-backend-module-gitea@0.1.17-next.2​

  • Updated dependencies
    • @backstage/integration@2.1.3-next.1

@backstage/plugin-catalog-react@3.2.4-next.1​

Patch Changes​

  • c162b94: Fixed the catalog entity list re-writing the URL on every render, which spammed history.replaceState and crashed Safari with a SecurityError. The URL is now only updated when it actually changes.

@backstage/plugin-kubernetes-backend@0.21.12-next.2​

Patch Changes​

  • 06128be: Throw a ConflictError with a clear message when publish:gitlab is called and the target repository already exists, instead of letting the GitLab API return a GitbeakerRequestError with a raw JSON body such as {"name":["has already been taken"]}.

@backstage/plugin-signals@0.0.36-next.1​

@backstage/plugin-signals-backend@0.3.20-next.2​

Patch Changes​

Connections without a token, with an invalid token, or with a non-user (service) token are rejected, and unauthenticated guest connections are no longer accepted.

@backstage/plugin-techdocs-common@0.1.2-next.0​

Patch Changes​
