v175

Release Notes

The cf-release v175 was released on July 16th 2014. This release is the first release where CF Security Groups are fully implemented. Out of the box, security groups have defined rules to continue to allow applications to talk to public ip spaces. What is not enabled by default is allowing communication to the CF local IP segments. To enable this, you should update your manifest to include allow rules for the local IP cidr's needed or after deploying it use the CF latest client to create groups to enable local communication from the application container. It is strongly suggested that this update be first applied to a testing or staging environment to ensure these new networking constraints do not break applications.

Release Highlights

• PHP buildpack reduced from 400+mb down to 64mb for droplet hello world.
• PHP buildpack no longer including cached deps in droplet yay
• less than 60 seconds to push a php app
• CF Security Groups are now released and can be managed via the API or CF CLI
