Release 4.0.0
Released: July 1, 2016
The DuraCloud 4.0.0 release focuses primarily on updates which allow for greater scaling and efficiency. DuraCloud will now be deployed as clustered software. While all storage accounts remain distinct, compute capacity will be shared and will scale to meet demands. This will provide increased upload and download throughput and simplify system administration, allowing for more frequent software releases.
The following changes are part of the DuraCloud 4.0.0 release:
- Both the DuraStore and DurAdmin applications can handle requests from any DuraCloud account through a direct connection with the account database
- DuraCloud applications are no longer initialized
- DuraCloud applications can be clustered and served behind a load balancer to support horizontal scaling for greater request throughput
- Storage reporting activities are now shared between the DuraCloud Mill and DuraStore
- The Mill manages the capture of report data and DuraStore provides a brand new set of API calls to retrieve report data
- The new DuraStore reporting API provides more flexibility in how storage reporting data can be retrieved
- Storage data will be captured daily rather than weekly
- The DuraBoss application was retired as part of this transition.
- The UI of the SyncTool now supports setting chunk size, to allow files up to 5 GB to be transferred without chunking
- DuraCloud applications now all require Java 8
- Upgrades to security, http, and many other project dependencies, including requirements for version consistency

This change is in response to Microsoft's recent end of support announcement for Internet Explorer. This shift allows development effort to be focused on delivering the highest quality user experience for the vast majority of our users.
