## Go Version
|
2020-12-17 21:53:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2020-11-11 23:26:11 +00:00
|
|
|
Vault 1.6.0 is built with Go 1.15. Please review the [Go Release
|
|
|
|
|
Notes](https://golang.org/doc/go1.15) for full details. A few items of
|
|
|
|
|
particular note:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-12-17 21:53:33 +00:00
|
|
|
- Go 1.15 has dropped support for 32-bit binaries on macOS, iOS, iPadOS,
|
2020-11-11 23:26:11 +00:00
|
|
|
watchOS, and tvOS, and Vault is no longer issuing darwin_386 binaries
|
2020-12-17 21:53:33 +00:00
|
|
|
- Go 1.15 no longer treats the `CommonName` field on X.509 certificates as a
|
2020-11-11 23:26:11 +00:00
|
|
|
host name. X.509 certificates should be validated and potentially regenerated
|
|
|
|
|
before upgrading if they do not have Subject Alternative Names.

## Transform Secrets Engine Storage Upgrade
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Transform Secrets Engine (Enterprise only) will automatically upgrade the
|
|
|
|
|
storage of its configuration in order to accommodate the new transformation
|
2020-12-17 21:53:33 +00:00
|
|
|
type oriented configuration API. Secondaries will receive the
|
|
|
|
|
modifications via replication.

## Database Engine Interface Upgrade
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Database Engine has changed the underlying interface between Vault and each database
|
|
|
|
|
implementation. This change allows use of [password policies](/docs/concepts/password-policies)
|
|
|
|
|
within the Database engine. The API for the Database Engine has not changed, only the underlying
|
|
|
|
|
interface between Vault and the database plugins. All built-in database plugins (as well as the
|
|
|
|
|
[Oracle](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault-plugin-database-oracle) plugin) have been upgraded to
|
|
|
|
|
the new interface so no user actions are needed. Vault will continue to recognize existing custom
|
|
|
|
|
database plugins but the old interface should be considered deprecated and may be removed in a
|
|
|
|
|
future release. See our [upgrade guide for custom databases](/docs/secrets/databases/custom) for
|
|
|
|
|
more information on upgrading custom database plugins.
