Known Issues in Version 3.4.0

Here is the list of known issues in this release.

You need to upgrade to 3.4.0 from the CLI using the new setup script if you are using a version of Cloud Exchange older than 3.3.3. If you upgrade from the Cloud Exchange UI to 3.4.0, there are a number of global environmental variables that will not be set, preventing the Cloud Exchange proxy from being used for communication with docker and github, among other services.
Cloud Exchange has to be restarted when there is a plugin update that has changes to multiple python files.
If Cloud Exchange was installed previously using ZIP instead of GIT, you will need to back up the database and migrate it to the new directory as specified in the migration instructions.
If Cloud Exchange is installed on a RHEL host, it cannot be configured within podman to always automatically restart. Upon failure, you will need to manually restart Cloud Exchange.
If you wish to rotate among different DNS servers you cannot simply modify the resolv.conf file inside the cloud_exchange_core (podman or docker). There is a documented workaround for this unsupported configuration.
