Technical Release Notes

Technical Release Notes

While we make a huge effort to not break things during updates, when something can't be avoided we will document it here.

    Rock McKinley 17.0


    Developers, starting with v17.0...
    • Obsolete Method/Property Removal -

      All RockObsolete methods and properties v12 and earlier are being removed. You should have already been getting warnings in VisualStudio to fix those issues in your code/plugins.

      The /api/FinancialTransactions/ endpoints which were marked as obsolete in v12.4 have been removed in v17.0. The code referencing these endpoints need to use the /api/FinancialGivingStatement/ endpoints instead

      The /api/FinancialGivingStatement/{personId} and /api/GivingStatement/{personId} endpoints no longer accept the parameters templateDefinedValueId and hideRefundedTransactions. Also, from v17.0, financialStatementTemplateId is a mandatory parameter for these endpoints.

      For a more complete list please visit this page.

    • Visual Studio 2019 (and older) No Longer Supported -

      Since 2022 is nearly over, we've decided it's time to have us all on VS2022.

    • Lava DotLiquid Engine is No Longer Used -

      As mentioned in this blog post, DotLiquid support has ended. When Rock starts up, Fluid will automatically be selected as the Lava engine. If any of your plugins still reference any old DotLiquid code, ensure it is removed. The DotLiquid.dll will be removed from Rock in v18. If you have questions about converting from DotLiquid to Fluid, please see the Upgrading Custom Lava Components for v13 article.

    • New Logging Engine -

      Rock now uses a new logging system that makes use of the Microsoft.Extensions.Logging library. Legacy methods are still available for now and will be removed in a future version of Rock. If you use the logging system in your plugins there will be a new UI to enable logging, which will require some custom JSON to be configured to enable the legacy logging domains. See the Developer 303 guide for details on how to configure logging to display messages from your plugins.

    • Development / Build Issues -

      If you run into odd 'build' issues, you may need to run an npm i on your Rock.JavaScript.Obsidian and Rock.JavaScript.Obsidian.Blocks projects.

      If you are using AppVeyor and are having node build issues. Be aware that AppVeyor has recently updated their default node version so you may need to add an environment variable that specifies a version of node to run on. For example: Key: nodejs_version Values: 22.6.0

    • New Required Properties on Page, Registration and AttributeMatrixItem -

      In this version of Rock we are performing a small denormalization on these three tables to improve performance of Attribute Values in Rock. They will receive the following new properties that are required and do not have default values:

      • Page - SiteId
      • Registration - RegistrationTemplateId
      • AttributeMatrixItem - AttributeMatrixTemplateId

      If you do any direct inserts to these three tables you will have to put conditional logic in your queries if your code needs to support Rock versions before v17 and v17 and later concurrently. You can see an example of this here.

    17.0.34 December 19, 2024

    • When loading attributes on the Rock.Model.ConnectionRequest or Rock.Model.RegistrationRegistrant entities, and the entity has not yet been saved to the database, it is necessary to manually set the ConnectionTypeId and RegistrationTemplateId properties before calling the LoadAttributes() method.

    17.0.33 December 6, 2024

17.0.3 September 21, 2023

  • The public virtual List GetBreadCrumbs( PageReference ) method in the Rock.Web.UI.RockBlock class is no longer called before a block is initialized. Therefore if you were using the method to initialize block data it will no longer work as expected.

    The type of the property PersonEntrySmsOptInEntryOption in the class Rock.Model.WorkflowActionForm has been changed from Rock.Model.WorkflowActionFormPersonEntryOption to Rock.Model.WorkflowActionFormShowHideOption. The code making use of this property will need to be adjusted to the new type and recompiled.

    A similar change has been made with the PersonEntrySmsOptInEntryOption property in the class Rock.Web.Cache.WorkflowActionFormCache. The property was of type Rock.Model.WorkflowActionFormPersonEntryOption but now it has been changed to Rock.Model.WorkflowActionFormShowHideOption. The code making use of this property will need to be adjusted to the new type and recompiled.

Rock McKinley 16.6 Released August 20, 2024


In v16.6 we've changed the Service class in order to support an advanced Entity Framework pattern that we're going to try using in v17. Depending on how you access the service layer for any custom models you've created, you may need to change that code when you recompile after v16.6:
  • We changed the Service class type declaration to be a class, inheriting from IEntity rather than only the generic Entity<T>.
    v16_6_EFChange.png
  • If you have extended the generic Service class you'll want to ensure you've updated the class type declaration to match the new definition and referenced Rock.Lava.Shared and DotLiquid (which are referenced by IEntity). v16_6_EFChangeExampleUsageUpdated.png

Rock McKinley 16.0 Released October 3, 2023


Developers, starting with v16.0...
  • User / Person Preferences -

    If you have been using RockBlock GetUserPreference(...), GetUserPreferences(...), or SetUserPreference(...) (as mentioned in the 101 Launchpad guide) you should convert over to the new Person Preferences system. These were formerly stored as AttributeValue but are now in the new PersonPreference table. You should migrate any stored values when you update your code (if they were not migrated during the v16.0 update).

1.16.0.9 August 10, 2023

  • The property UsagesRemaining has been renamed to RegistrationUsagesRemaining in the class Rock.Model.RegistrationTemplateDiscountWithUsage. The code referencing this property must be modified to use the new name.

    The method public static string GetValue( string key, string defaultValue ) in the Rock.Web.SystemSettings class, which was originally added in v15.0, has been removed in v15.2. Nothing other than core should have been using that method, but any code using the old method needs to be changed to use the public static string GetValue( string key ) method.

1.16.0.7 June 29, 2023

  • The class RockMobileBlockType has been marked obsolete in v16.0. The code using the class need to be changed to use the RockBlockType

1.16.0.6 June 15, 2023

  • The method public IEntity GetEntity(Guid entityTypeGuid, Guid entityGuid) has been removed from the class Rock.Model.EntityTypeService. The code using this method must be re-written to use the public IEntity GetEntity( int entityTypeId, int entityId ) method in the same class.

    The setters of the following properties in the Rock.Model.Person has been set to private:

    • Age
    • AgeBracket
    The code using these setters needs to be changes to update the BirthDay, BirthMonth and BirthYear.

    The updated endpoints are
    • api/Badges/FamilyAttendance/{personId}/{monthCount}/{showAsIndividual?}
    • api/PersonBadges/FamilyAttendance/{personId}/{monthCount}/{showAsIndividual?}
    respectively

1.16.0.3 May 4, 2023

Rock McKinley 15.0 Released May 15, 2023


  • As mentioned here, Rock is ending support for legacy financial gateways. If you have developed a custom gateway, make sure it implements the IHostedGatewayComponent interface. See the NMI Gateway for an implementation example.
  • We have replaced all legacy TransactionEntry block instances on all pages with the newer UtilityPaymentEntry block (NMI/MyWell compatible) and have attempted to preserve any custom block settings you might have configured. If you are still trying to use one of the legacy payment gateways, you will need to manually change back to the legacy TransactionEntry block, otherwise you will see an error when the block loads "Unsupported Gateway This block only supports Gateways that have a hosted payment interface." Also, the new block only supports one payment gateway per instance/configuration.

    Please Note: The internal "Registration Detail" where it used to be possible to accept/enter a payment on behalf of the registrant no longer supports the legacy payment gateways. So, you would need to direct people to make payment on their own behalf using the /MyAccount page's "Registration List Lava" block.

1.15.0.15 March 23, 2023

  • The property Rock.Bulk.SampleData.SampleDataManager.CreatorPersonAliasId has been changed from int to int?. Code making use of this property will need to be adjusted for the nullable type and recompiled.

    • From: ListGetEmailEditFieldXaml(string name, string label, string value, bool isRequired, bool multiline = False, int maxLength = 0)
    • To: ListGetEmailEditFieldXaml(string name, string label, string value, bool isEnabled, bool isRequired, bool multiline = False)

    The following static method had is signature changed by adding a new parameter with no default value Rock.Mobile.MobileHelper.GetTextEditFieldXaml. Code using this method will need to be recompiled.

    • To: ListGetTextEditFieldXaml(string name, string label, string value, bool isEnabled, bool isRequired, bool multiline = False)

1.15.0.13 February 24, 2023

  • The method Rock.Web.Cache.PersonalizationSegmentCache.GetActiveSegments had its signature changed to remove the boolean includeSegmentsWithNonPersistedDataViews since segments no longer require persisted datasets. Code making use of this method will need to be updated and recompiled.

    We have replaced all legacy TransactionEntry block instances on all pages with the newer UtilityPaymentEntry block (NMI/MyWell compatible) and have attempted to preserve any custom block settings you might have configured. If you are still trying to use one of the legacy payment gateways, you will need to manually change back to the legacy TransactionEntry block, otherwise you will see an error when the block loads "Unsupported Gateway This block only supports Gateways that have a hosted payment interface." Also, the new block only supports one payment gateway per instance/configuration.

  • REST call api/v2/Controls/LocationPickerGetActiveChildren has been changed to api/v2/Controls/LocationItemPickerGetActiveChildren.

    The following properties in the POCO class Rock.IpAddress.Location have been made nullable to improve efficiency in situations where the IpRegistry lookup service is not available.

    • public double? Longitude
    • public double? Latitude

Rock McKinley 14.0 Released October 12, 2022


Starting with v14.0...
  • Core -

    The following models will be slightly de-normalized to gain some enhanced performance with some grids. (Those performance enhancements will come in future versions.) Although Rock's PreSave() hooks will ensure the value is set when adding a new item, if you have code that attempts to modify the related property on an existing item, you will need to adjust your code to also take this into account. Also, any code that bypasses the Pre/PostSave operations (SaveChanges( disablePrePostProcessing: true ) or using BulkInsert()) will need to be updated accordingly.

    • ConnectionRequest.ConnectionTypeId
    • GroupMember.GroupTypeId
    • RegistrationRegistrant.RegistrationTemplateId

    The parent class of the badge component Rock.Badge.Component.Campus has been changed. Previously it inherited from Rock.Badge.HighlightLabelBadge. This has been changed to Rock.Badge.BadgeComponent. This is to remove Web Forms dependency from the core Rock back end code. Plugins using the Campus badge component will need to use the Render() method instead of the GetLabel() method.

    The following libraries were updated for compatibility reasons:

    • RestSharp upgraded from 105.2.3 to 106.12.0
    • RestSharp.Newtonsoft.Json from 1.0.0 to 1.5.1
    If you have a plugin that is using any of these, it will need to be recompiled to use this new version.

    The reference between a PersonAlias to a Person has been severed so the PersonAlias.PersonId property is now a nullable int (int?)

    Updated Entity Framework to version 6.4.4.

    When referencing any DLL directly, you may need to switch the NuGet reference specifically targeting 6.4.4 so that the props file is updated correctly.

    The Render() method of the Rock.Badge.BadgeComponent classes has been updated to include IEntity and use TextWriter instead of HtmlTextWriter. This was done to prevent a possible race condition with the Entity and for MS .Net Core compatiblity. The old method still exists in the parent class but is blank so it doesn't do anything. Custom code using Rock's BadgeComponent classes will need to use the new method.

    The method Rock.Lava.RockFilters.Trim(object) has moved from the Rock.dll to Rock.Lava.dll. Additionally an optional parameter string textToRemove was added. Code using this method will need to insure the Rock.Lava.dll is referenced in the project and then be recompiled.

    Methods that returned type Ical.Net.Event have been changed to return the type Ical.Net.CalendarComponents.CalendarEvent to accomadate an upgrade to Ical. Some of these methods are obsolete as of v12.4 and should be updated regardless.

    The Rock.Badge.HighlightLabelBadge is being obsoleted in favor of Rock.Badge.BadgeComponent. This is to remove Web Forms dependency from the core Rock back end code.

    The SMTP email delivery for Mandrill and Mailgun has been removed. Mailgun is still available using their HTTP service. The SMTP is still available in Rock but should only be used for development and testing.

    Corrected the SystemGuid constants listed below. Code using these will need to be recompiled.

    • Rock.SystemGuid.EntityType.BENEVOLENCE_TYPE
    • Rock.SystemGuid.EntityType.CONNECTION_OPPORTUNITY_CONNECTOR_GROUP
    • Rock.SystemGuid.EntityType.MEDIA_ACCOUNT

  • Updated workflow attributes to automatically encrypt and decrypt values for the following: Benevolence Request Set Attribute, Group Attribute Set, Group Member Attribute Set, Entity Attribute Set, Lava Run, and SQL Run. Any attribute that uses the EncryptedTextFieldType will also be automatically encrypted and decrypted.

  • Development -

    Added .gitignore file to RockWeb\Plugins folder. If you are building plugins from a forked copy of the repository you may need to delete that file in your forked repository.

    Removed classes and system GUIDs related to post migration jobs that are no longer needed. These should not be used by any third-party code and should not require any action.

1.14.0.16 August 9, 2022

  • The following changes have been made to Rock.Chart:

    • Renamed class Rock.Chart.ChartJsCategoryValuesDataPoint to Rock.Chart.ChartJsCategorySeriesDataPoint
    • Renamed class Rock.Chart.ChartJsCategoryValuesDataset to Rock.Chart.ChartJsCategorySeriesDataset
    • Renamed interface Rock.Chart.IChartJsCategoryValuesDataPoint to IChartJsCategorySeriesDataPoint
    • Removed property Rock.Chart.ChartJsTimeSeriesDataFactory.GetJsonArgs.UnitType

    The class Rock.Communication.Transport.MailgunSmtp has been removed. All Mailgun accounts need to use HTTP instead of SMTP.

    Enum Rock.Web.UI.Controls.AccountTreeViewItem.GetCountsType removed vaue GroupMembers = 2

1.14.0.14 July 12, 2022

  • The parent class of the badge component Rock.Badge.Component.Campus has been changed. Previously it inherited from Rock.Badge.HighlightLabelBadge. This has been changed to Rock.Badge.BadgeComponent. This is to remove Web Forms dependency from the core Rock back end code. Plugins using the Campus badge component will need to use the Render() method instead of the GetLabel() method.

1.14.0.13 June 15, 2022

1.14.0.12 May 31, 2022

  • The Render() method of the following Rock.Badge.BadgeComponent classes has been updated to include IEntity and use TextWriter instead of HtmlTextWriter. This was done to prevent a possible race condition with the Entity and for .net core compatiblity. The old method still exists in the parent class but is blank so it doesn't do anything. Custom code using Rock's BadgeComponent classes will need to use the new method.

    The method Rock.Lava.RockFilters.Trim(object) has moved from the Rock.dll to Rock.Lava.dll. Additionally an optional parameter string textToRemove was added. Code using this method will need to insure the Rock.Lava.dll is referenced in the project and then be recompiled.

    The following methods have been changed to return the type Ical.Net.CalendarComponents.CalendarEvent instead of Ical.Net.Event. Some are obsolete as of v12.4 and should be updated regardless.

    • Rock.Model.InetCalendarHelper.CreateCalendarEvent
    • Rock.Model.InetCalendarHelper.GetCalendarEvent
    • Rock.Model.InetCalendarHelper.GetOccurrences (all overrides)
    • Rock.Model.Schedule.GetICalEvent

  • The namespace Rock.ViewModel has been renamed to Rock.ViewModels. Any code referencing this namespace will need to be recompiled.

    The signature for method Rock.Lava.RockFilters.AppendFollowing changed by adding a parameter with a default value. Code that uses this method will need to be recompiled.

    • From: public static object AppendFollowing(Context context, object dataObject)
    • To: public static object AppendFollowing(Context context, object dataObject, string purposeKey)

    The signature for method Rock.Lava.RockFilters.Format changed by renaming an existing parameter and adding an additional one. Code that uses this method will need to be recompiled.

    • To: public static bool IsFollowed(Context context, object input, object parameter1, object parameter2)

    The constructor for Rock.Model.CampusTopicService now uses the type RockContext instead of DbContext. This matches the implementation of other Rock classes.

    The enum Rock.Model.Gender has moved from the Rock project to the Rock.Enums project, the namespace remains the same. Code using this enum will need to reference the new dll and be recompiled.

    The method public method Rock.Model.SignatureDocument.CalculateSignatureVerificationHash has been removed from the SignatureDocument model. It is now a static method in SignatureDocumentService.

    • From: public string CalculateSignatureVerificationHash()

    The following objects were moved from the "Rock" namespace to "Rock.Utility"

    • CampaignItem
    • CreateConnectionRequestOptions
    • FamilyLimits

    The public methods below use the class CampaignItem as a parameter. Any third-party code using the class will need to be recompiled to use the updated namespace.

Rock McKinley 13.4 Released June 13, 2022


Starting with v13.4...
  • Core -

    .IsNull() and .IsNotNull() extension methods have been obsoleted.

Rock McKinley 13.1 Released February 22, 2022


Developers, starting with v13.1...
  • Core -

    Updated web.config to allow C# 7.3 language feature in Rock Blocks.

Rock McKinley 13.0 Released January 31, 2022


Developers, starting with v13.0...
  • Finance -

    Usage of the older "CurrencySymbol" global attribute is now deprecated starting with v13 (see v12.4 notes below).

  • Development -

    In order to load the experimental Rock.Javascript.Obsidian project in the Rock solution, you will need to add the "Node.js development" Workload to Visual Studio:

    Visual Studio Add Workload
    Visual Studio Node.js development
  • Development -

    All property and methods marked RockObsolete "1.8" and older will be removed from Rock. Those marked RockObsolete "1.9" will cause a compile error.

  • Development -

    The interface IRockMobileBlockType now implements IRockClientBlockType. This will force the classes implemeting IRockMobileBlockType to implement the method GetBlockInitialization( RockClientType clientType ). This method should return an object containing the mobile block type's configuration.

  • Development -

    Now that we have moved a number of extension methods (as well as RockDateTime) out of Rock.dll and into Rock.Common.dll, developers will need to include a project dependency/reference to Rock.Common.dll when you (re-)build plugins for Rock v13 or later.

  • Lava Engine -

    In order to achieve a rather substantial performance improvement, we're making a significant changes to the underlying Lava parser. All existing custom Lava filters will break as a result of these changes. If you've created custom Lava filters, please read the Updating Custom Lava Component instructions on what you need to do to be compatible with Rock v13. Contact the core team to discuss questions you have.
    Also Note: we are no longer going to accept any custom Lava filter plugins in the RockShop.

  • Redis -

    Support for Redis clusters is deprecated as of Rock v13. Previous versions of Rock clusters relied on a Redis server. The message bus now replaces the need for the Redis server. We highly recommend moving away from the Redis solution to the new web farm features.

  • Development -

    It will no longer be possible to start from an existing database that is older than version 11 using the develop branch. Why: The EF 'migration squish' we've performed assumes your underlying database is either empty, or has everything up to version 11.0 (release-1.11.0) in it.

    If you do have a v10.x database (for example) that you wish to move to the develop branch, you should switch to the release-1.11.0 branch first (or release-1.12.0) in order to allow Entity Framework to migrate your database to that level.

  • ASP.NET 4.7.2 - We've upgraded the Rock solution to require asp.net 4.7.2.:
    • You can find our cheatsheet and notes about this conversion over at v4.7.2 Cheatsheet
    • If you are using AppVeyor, you can also find notes about what we did to get AppVeyor to continue to build on the v4.7.2 Cheatsheet

This new property is a List<SchedulerResourceScheduled> and holds any scheduling conflicts.
    • Removed method Rock.Reporting.DataFilter.Workflow.WorkflowAttributesFilter.workflowTypePicker_SelectItem. Selection functionality will be performed during the ValueChanged event using Rock.Reporting.DataFilter.Workflow.WorkflowAttributesFilter.workflowTypePicker_ValueChanged instead of the SelectItem event.

    DECLARE @selectGroupEntityId int = (SELECT [Id] FROM [EntityType] WHERE [Guid] = '9BBFDA11-0D22-40D5-902F-60ADFBC88987')
    
    SELECT g.[Name] AS GroupName, p.[LastName] AS PersonLastName, p.[FirstName] AS PersonFirstName, a.*
    FROM [Auth] a
    JOIN [Group] g on a.[EntityId] = g.[Id]
    JOIN [PersonAlias] pa on a.[PersonAliasId] = pa.[Id]
    JOIN [Person] p on pa.[PersonId] = p.[Id]
    WHERE [EntityTypeId] = @selectGroupEntityId
    	AND a.[Action] = 'Administrate'
    	AND a.[AllowOrDeny] = 'A'
    	AND g.[CreatedByPersonAliasId] = a.PersonAliasId
    ORDER BY g.[Name], p.[LastName], p.[FirstName]
        

    Here is the DELETE script. It will remove all of the Group/Person security settings where the Person is assigned "Administrate" permission and that same Person created the Group. It will NOT delete permissions other than "Administrate", permissions assigned to a role, Disallow permissions, or permissions assigned to a Person that didn't create the group.

    After running this script Group administration security access will be dependent on Roles and the Users explicitly assigned "Administrate" permission after creating the Group.

    DECLARE @groupEntityId int = (SELECT [Id] FROM [EntityType] WHERE [Guid] = '9BBFDA11-0D22-40D5-902F-60ADFBC88987')
    
    DELETE FROM [Auth]
    WHERE [Id] IN (
    	SELECT a.[Id]
    	FROM [Auth] a
    	JOIN [Group] g on a.[EntityId] = g.[Id]
    	WHERE [EntityTypeId] = @groupEntityId
    		AND a.[Action] = 'Administrate'
    		AND a.[AllowOrDeny] = 'A'
    		AND g.[CreatedByPersonAliasId] = a.[PersonAliasId])
        

    NOTE: After running the delete script, you will need to clear the cache for the changes to effect the Rock web application.

Rock McKinley 12.0 Released January 4, 2021


  • The DDay.iCal library has been replaced with the ICal.Net library. Because of this, the ScheduleICalHelper class is being replaced with InetCalendarHelper and certain helper methods in the Schedule.cs class which returned either DDay.iCal.Event or IList<DDay.iCal.Occurrence> are obsoleted:
    • GetCalendarEvent() replaced with GetICalEvent()
    • GetOccurrences(...) is replaced with GetICalOccurrences(...)
  • The WorkflowLogService is being removed and the WorkflowLog model is being changed to no longer inherit from Model to reduce size and increase performance; as such it will no longer have the following properties/columns (ForeignId, ForeignGuid, ForeignKey, Guid, CreatedDateTime, ModifiedDateTime, CreatedByPersonAliasId, ModifiedByPersonAliasId).
  • If you are using a CI/CD system such as AppVeyor, you may need to add this to your build init to deal with the MSB3268 warning:
    COPY "C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.5.2\Facades\System.IO.dll" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.5.2"

  • To make way for better dynamic badges that can be used within the new Connections Board, custom badges should be refactored to eliminate injecting any needed script blocks in the badge that would have called Sys.Application.add_load. Instead, override the BadgeComponent's GetJavaScript() method and return your javascript there. See commits 970b0c1 and e56d506 for examples of this.
  • FYI: Several changes are needed in the web.config to support OpenId server. This is handled by the RockUpdate process, but if you're merging and building manually (or via some non-RockUpdate process), you'll need to make sure the repo's web.config changes are applied to your server's web.config.

Rock McKinley 11.0 Released July 22, 2020


Starting with v11...
  • Rock will require SQL Server 2014 or higher. Read our notification.
  • Our developer solution will require Visual Studio 2019.
  • Classes, methods, and properties marked "Obsolete" as of version v7 [RockObsolete("1.7")] have been removed.
  • We have updated the Newtonsoft Json.NET library (Newtonsoft.Json.dll) from version 9.0.1 to version 11.0.2. (You can find those release notes on their github page.)
  • The SystemEmail entity (model and table) is now obsolete.
  • Updated RockWeb to use the Roslyn compiler (to enable future C# v6 and v7 features in Rock v12-- don't start using .Net v6/7 features until then)
  • The ChannelId property was renamed to InteractionChannelId on the InteractionComponent model and database table. This will affect any raw SQL you might have that references ChannelId directly and any plugins that create their own interaction components directly via SQL.
  • Changed the RelatedDataViewFilterBase abstract class to implement a new internal IRelatedChildDataView interface. This interface has a method that returns the DataView.Id that is selected to use. When data view filters are being saved, if it implements the interface, it would call that method to return the Id of the Data View that it is referencing.
  • Some small changes in Rock's stock push notification component were made to extend the usefulness of PUSH messages in Rock. 3rd party developers who are extending the PushNotification class should recompile their code to verify compatibility.
  • Updated to FontAwesome 5.13.0

1.11.0.20 July 7, 2020

  • There are no breaking changes in this release.

1.11.0.19 June 23, 2020

  • Removed the setter for public property Rock.Storage.AssetStorage.AssetStorageComponent.FileSystemComponentHttpContext. This property will always use HttpContext.Current

1.11.0.18 June 9, 2020

  • Removed property Rock.Model.CommunicationTemplate.Mediums

1.11.0.17 May 26, 2020

  • public field Rock.Communication.Transport.Twilio.AcceptedMimeTypes was changed from a static list to a readonly static list.

    public field Rock.Communication.Transport.Twilio.MediaSizeLimitBytes was changed from a static int to a const int with value 5242880.

    public field Rock.Communication.Transport.Twilio.SupportedMimeTypes was changed from a static list to a readonly static list.

1.11.0.16 May 12, 2020

  • Updated the following constant values:

    • public field Rock.Blocks.Types.Mobile.Events.CalendarEventList.AttributeDefaults.DayHeaderTemplate

      From: "

      To: "

    Removed property public decimal SpacingBase from class public property Rock.DownhillCss.DownhillSettings

1.11.0.13 March 31, 2020

  • No "C# code" breaking changes in this release, however the ChannelId property was renamed to InteractionChannelId on the InteractionComponent model and database table. Although you can still access ChannelId through C# code during the obsolete period, this change will adversely affect any raw SQL you created that references ChannelId directly.

1.11.0.5 December 4, 2019

  • Removed the public property setter on Rock.Web.Cache.GlobalAttributesCache.Attributes. This was to fix cache issues in a multi server environment.

  • We've removed the inherited permissions on the GetImpersonationParameter API endpoint. If you have a custom application that uses that API you may consider re-adjusting those permissions to suit your needs.

Rock McKinley 9.0 Released August 5, 2019


  • As of v9, any iOS device you want to run check-in on must have iOS 10 or newer. This is due to JavaScript changes that older versions of iOS cannot run.
  • If you have a check-in theme that was created before Version 7, we recommend removing <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=10" /> from your theme to maintain compatibility for the Rock Windows Check-In App.
  • This is the last release supporting the 'Legacy' option for the Lava Support Level Global Attribute. In Rock McKinley v10 anyone using 'Legacy' will be automatically converted to 'LegacyWithWarning'. Check your ExceptionLog for any remaining legacy Lava syntax and get those cleaned up before chaning to 'NoLegacy'.
  • The old "RockOriginal" theme, which was the Rock theme for v7, has been deleted with this release. Any sites that were using RockOriginal have been changed to use the Rock theme.
Rock.Rest Project

    This list contains the setters on cache objects that were pubic and are now private. The setters on these should not be used as the cache is just temporary storage for quick access that is maintained by the Core cache engine. Properties need to be set on the model and saved to the database. Properties should be read from the cache.

Rock McKinley 8.7 Released March 19, 2019


We've updated the way the 'unsubscribe' functionality works. Be sure to look at the generic Unsubscribe HTML in the Email medium (under Admin Tools > Communications > Communication Mediums) and make similar changes to any custom templates you have (replacing Unsubscribe/{%raw%}{{ Person.UrlEncodedKey }}{%endraw%} with Unsubscribe/{%raw%}{{ Person | PersonActionIdentifier:'Unsubscribe' }}{%endraw%}). You will also need to update the Non-HTML Content for the Email Communication Medium (Located in Communications > Communication Mediums; replacing {%raw%}&p={{ Person.UrlEncodedKey }} with &p={{ Person | PersonActionIdentifier:'Unsubscribe' }}{%endraw%} )

Rock McKinley 8.0 Released September 17, 2018


Check-in
  • Some changes were made to support different time zones on campuses.
  • The way labels are sent to the printers when printing over the network have been changed to support extended characters.
  • Minor changes were made to the Windows check-in client to provide extended character support.
  • We added a new Check-in 'AttendanceOccurrence' table and moved the GroupId, LocationId, ScheduleId, SundayDate and DidNotOccur from 'Attendance' to 'AttendanceOccurrence'. As a result, any custom SQL queries you have that reference these fields will be effected. For example, this:
    SELECT ...
    FROM   [Attendance] AS a
    INNER JOIN [Group] g ON a.GroupId = g.Id
    will need to change to something like:
    SELECT ...
    FROM   [Attendance] AS a
    INNER JOIN [AttendanceOccurrence] o ON o.Id = a.OccurrenceId
    INNER JOIN [Group] g ON a.GroupId = g.Id
    Also Lava such as this: {%raw%}{% attendance where:'GroupId == "24"' %}{%endraw%} or this {%raw%}{% attendance.GroupId %}{%endraw%} will need to change to something like this: {%raw%}{% attendanceoccurrence where:'GroupId == "24"' %}{%endraw%} and this {%raw%}{% attendanceoccurrence.GroupId %}{%endraw%}
Caching
  • Rock's caching engine was completely re-written. This cleaned up a lot of inconsistencies in the API and implemented several new features (cache tags and the new cache lava block). This level of change is sure to bring up several issues (the first caching engine took 2-3 major releases to iron out all of invalidation issues).
  • Cache Tags – See documentation
  • Lava Caching Block – See https://rockrms.com/lava Version Specific Features

Rock McKinley 7.0 Released January 31, 2018


If you are using the SendGrid Email Transport update the plugin from the RockShop immediately after upgrading to Rock v7.

Page view and email activity data has been moved in Rock v7. While we make a huge effort to not break things during updates the transition of this data to new tables may break custom SQL or code that was querying this data from the PageView and/or CommunicationRecipientActivity tables. All of the data has been transitioned to their new home in the Interactions tables so you won't miss a thing. This should impact only a very small number of organizations who have written custom code or SQL against these few tables. Note that since there could be a large amount of data to convert from the old PageView and CommunicationRecipientActivity tables, a Rock Job called 'Move Data from PageViews and Communication Activity to the new Interaction Tables' will run at 4am after v7 is installed. This job could take an hour or so depending on how much data there is.

The external giving blocks have a new 'Give as Business' option which defaults to 'on'. If you don't want your giving blocks to have the 'Give as Business' option, you'll have to change that manually.

There is a new 'Expiring Credit Card Notices' job which is enabled to run at 7:30 AM on the 1st of every month. It can be disabled manually if needed.

The ZebraPhoto lava command was changed to use the R: (DRAM) location due to long term problems with repetitive writing to the E: (Flash) location. Any labels using ZebraPhoto must also change their Recall Graphic (^XG) command to use the R: location too. https://www.rockrms.com/lava/person#zebraphoto

There is a new 'Database Maintenance' job that is enabled to run at 2:30 AM every day by default. If you SQL database already has a maintenance plan, update the 'Database Maintenance' job and/or your SQL Maintenance Plan to do what you want.

Make sure to enable the Google Static Maps API in your Google API Manager dashboard.

A change was made in how group requirement notifications are sent out. Before it would send to all Roles marked 'IsLeader' of the group, with the ability to provide a list of Role Ids to exclude. This has been changed to use the 'Receive Requirements Notifications' property on the Role. If you have setup jobs to send group requirement emails you will want to ensure that you configure the roles you want to receive these emails to have the 'Receive Requirements Notifications' checked.

Staff and Staff-Like roles will be given Edit access to the following group types if those group types do not already have specific 'Edit' roles defined. This is so that staff can add new groups of those types.

  • Serving Teams
  • Small Group Section
  • Small Group
  • General Group
  • Organization Unit

ContentChannelView has been updated to not support legacy Lava syntax for accessing global attributes. To enable this, a new "Enable Legacy Global Attribute Lava" block setting needs to be set to true (which negatively affect performance of this block).

Group Attributes now enforce security. Edit each Group Type in General Settings > Group Types, and make sure to set the security on each of the Group Attributes so they can be edited by the appropriate team.

iScroll.js is now included in the RockLibs.js bundle. If you have a custom blocks (i.e. check-in) that is loading iScroll.js, this is no longer needed.

This release fixes a bug where workflow activities marked as inactive were still being processed. If you have any activities where 'Is Active' is not checked they will no longer run even if you use the 'Activate Workflow Activity' action. This action activates an instance of an activity. The activity type however, must be active for this to occur.

Rock McKinley 4.0 Released January 22, 2016


People without birth date will no longer be able to check-in to groups that have an age range requirement. This behavior can be changed by editing the 'Unattended Check-in' workflow, selecting the 'Person Search' activity, then the 'Filter Groups By Age' action, and un-checking the new 'Age Required' option.

Only members of the 'RSR - Data Integrity Worker' will be able to complete person merges. Everyone else will only be able to request merges (new functionality). This can be modified by adding other security roles to have edit access to the merge block.

Security was adjusted on the Website Ads and Bulletin Content Channels to give the 'RSR - Staff Worker' and 'RSR - Staff Like Worker' View/Edit rights.

Rock McKinley 3.0 Released April 13, 2015


Heads Up! We've added several new features to groups to support the attendance and group finder features. The update will modify some of the settings to the 'Small Group' group type. If you've modified or are using this group type you'll want to read through these changes below. The update will do the following...
  1. Update the Small Group type to make it use the new 'simple' schedule option (day of week + meeting time).
  2. Add a new group attribute of Topic that links to a defined type.
  3. Take all the existing text topics and create defined values out of them, then match them to the groups (basically wire up all the current text based topics as defined values)
  4. Delete the existing text topic group attribute.
  5. If you do NOT have any small groups in the database we will delete the meeting time attribute from the small group type (otherwise we'll leave it for you to delete since you'll probably need it to set the new meeting time value).
  • Rock.Workflow.Action.SetAttributeToEntity was renamed to Rock.Workflow.Action.SetAttributeFromEntity
  • Person.BirthDate property became readonly - this was due to change to allow people to enter partial birthdates (month and day with no year). Use SetBirthDate to set the full birthdate and use Person.BirthMonth, Person.BirthDay if partial.
  • Storage Provider changes
    • a storage provider will now provide the path to the resource via the GetPath() method and GetUrl() will provide a URL to the resource. GenerateUrl() is no longer used.
    • BinaryContentStream ?
    • GetContentStream() method is responsible to obtain a stream of the item resource.
  • Binary Files Methods/Objects changes:
    • BinaryFile.Data became BinaryFile.DatabaseData.
    • BinaryFile.ContentStream now uses the StorageProvider's GetContentStream() to get the stream of the content.
    • BinaryFileData.ContentStream (virtual) was removed and the BinaryFile.ContentStream should now be used to get a stream to the resource.
  • The "Unknown" value was removed from the Marital Status DefinedType and records with that ID were given a NULL MaritalStatusValueId.
