Magento Commerce (Cloud) 2.1.2 and 2.0.10 Release Notes

Changes in this release

We made the following change in this release:

  • Added a new environment variable, UPDATE_URLS, which if set to enabled causes Magento base URLs in the database with to be replaced with Cloud project URLs. By default, UPDATE_URLS is set to enabled. This is useful for local development, where base URLs are set up for your local environment. When you deploy to a Cloud environment, we change the URLs so you can access your storefront and Magento Admin using project URLs. You should set this variable to disabled only in staging or production, where the base URLs can’t change.
  • Staging and Production environments in the UI for Pro projects. You can enter a ticket to have your project updated. For more information, see Add Staging and Production to Pro projects UI.

We made the following fixes in this release:

Note the following issue in this release:

The magento setup:install command (used for deployment) fails in either a staging or production environment if a Magento database already exists in the following scenario:

  • You installed or updated a component in your integration environment that modifies the database (especially if the component adds tables).
  • Your staging or production environment has an existing database.
