Release Umbraco.Cloud.Cms 13.0.1, 16.0.2 & 17.0.2
This release resolved an issue where Cloud sites end up using localhost or *.azurewebsites.net as their root domain. The issue was caused by early Azure platform requests during site startup being persisted as the site's base URL.
We fixed this by using early middleware and forwarded headers to ensure the umbracoApplicationUrl overrides Azure hostnames before they are persisted.
Configure automatic patch upgrades
It is now possible to disable automatic patch upgrades from the Project Settings page. New projects default to having automatic upgrades enabled.
If you have previously disabled automatic upgrades through Umbraco Support this will still be in effect. You can enable upgrades again using the toggles.
For more on configuring automatic upgrades refer to the Projects Settings documentation.
Disable parallel builds
The following applies to sites using Umbraco 9 and newer.
When deploying to Umbraco Cloud, the build step of a deployment could previously utilize all available resources on the underlying infrastructure. This had the side effect that the deployments could end up experiencing resource contention, causing it to complete slowly or fail entirely.
We have now disabled parallel builds, ensuring that a single deployment can no longer consume all available resources. This reduces issues caused by the "noisy neighbor" effect and improves overall deployment reliability.
Project invite notifications
This update introduces in-app notifications in the Cloud Portal when you receive a project invitation.
A notification badge is now displayed in the UI, incrementing based on the number of pending invitations. For example, if you have five outstanding invites, the notification indicator will display 5, giving you a clear and immediate overview of outstanding actions.
This makes project onboarding more visible and ensures that invitations are not missed, especially for users who are invited to multiple projects.
