Highlights from 2026-10-01 release
===================================

Enhancements
------------

- `#1108`_ - Project detail page has a new (public) "Actions" tab listing the
  background actions belonging to the project (createrepo, fork, delete, ...)
  together with their type, timing, status and the message from backend.
  Each action has a detail page showing the raw data sent to backend.
- A temporary LDAP outage no longer prevents already known users from logging
  in; the previously stored group membership is used instead.  Only users that
  have never been looked up in LDAP still get an error.  Note that `Fedora
  Copr`_ isn't using LDAP, so that Copr instance is not affected by this change.
- Forking a project backed by Pulp storage is now considerably faster, only
  one repository version per chroot is created instead of one per build.
- The ``copr-be.conf.example`` configuration file is now installed as
  documentation, so ``rpm -qd copr-backend`` lists it.


Bugfixes
--------

- An unreachable LDAP server used to block the ``gssapi_login`` API request for
  minutes and exhaust the WSGI thread pool.  The whole lookup now has a single
  10s timeout budget and such an outage is reported as 503.  Also,
  ``KRB5_PRINCIPAL`` was silently ignored and is now honored.
- Forking Pulp-backed builds no longer downloads the RPMs into ``/tmp``, which
  could easily run out of space.  The destination build directory on the
  results storage is used instead.
- Fork actions against Pulp storage were always marked as failed, even when
  they succeeded.
- Direct RPM uploads are correctly re-signed again (the prebuilt task attribute
  name did not match the one sent by frontend).
- The backend cleanup scripts (e.g. ``copr_prune_results.py``) report their
  failures to Sentry now, previously such a traceback could stay unnoticed.
