OnDemand 3.1 release

Thank you for notifying us of the bugs in 3.1.9 involving the Ubuntu 24.04 build and shell application.

Ubuntu 24.04 was compiled incorrectly on our end. We did not build 24.04 accurately due to versioning oversights on our end. There is no workaround at this time for Ubuntu 24.04 support since 3.1.9 was supposed to be the first version supporting 24.04.

Open OnDemand version 3.1.9, including the shell application, seems to have broken at centers running Apache httpd 2.4.37-56. All RHEL appstream repositories now hold httpd version 2.4.37-65. Apache has vaulted versions below 2.4.37-65 because they no longer provide support.

Two workarounds are highlighted below:

  • Downgrade to the previous version you were running before 3.1.9
  • Update Apache httpd to version 2.4.37-65

We highly recommend updating httpd since the previous versions are vaulted and old versions pose security threats. The version compatible with Open OnDemand 3.1.9 has the most recent security patches not available on versions 2.4.37-56. Please see the patches here and here.

We are working hard to release 3.1.10 to fix these bugs in the coming weeks. We deeply apologize for the inconveniences this is causing.
