Cloud provider-specific tasks will be deprecated in a future release. The following tasks are affected:
- delete_from_s3
- remove_from_s3_bucket
- copy_between_s3_buckets
- remove_from_gcs_bucket
- copy_between_gcs_buckets

Adds support for triggering Iris file notification manually. This requires the import of a custom workflow. Contact support for more details.

Resolves an issue whereby upgrades from versions prior to 2.8.0 causes pre-upgrade schedules running workflows with snapdiff, such as sync, to reprocess all data. New schedules post-upgrade are unaffected.

The configuration value LDAP_MIRROR_GROUPS is no longer json loaded, please consult the LDAP documentation for more details.
The configuration value “celery_broker” will be automatically replaced with BROKER_PROVIDER and RESULTS_PROVIDER on first hub startup.
Any configuration file older than version 2.9.0 will be backed up with this upgrade
SSO and LDAP cannot be enabled simultaneously, please consult the LDAP and Single Sign-On documentation for more details.
SSO is not enabled by default and must be configured and enabled, details for this process are in the Single Sign-On documentation.

Resolves an issue whereby upgrades from versions prior to 2.8.0 causes pre-upgrade schedules running workflows with snapdiff, such as sync, to reprocess all data. New schedules post-upgrade are unaffected.
