## 2.0.1-next.0

### Patch Changes

- 4654a78: Update `refresh_state_references.id` to be a big int
- Updated dependencies
  - @backstage/backend-plugin-api@1.4.0-next.0
  - @backstage/plugin-catalog-node@1.17.1-next.0

## 2.0.0

### Major Changes

- 90ab044: **BREAKING**: Removed all deprecated exports, and removed support for the old backend system.

  It also removes the `CodeOwnersProcessor` from the default set of processors, because it is expensive to run and has vague semantics. You need to update your backend to add it to the `catalogProcessingExtensionPoint` if you wish to continue using it.

  The following removed exports are available from `@backstage/plugin-catalog-node`:

  - `locationSpecToMetadataName`
  - `locationSpecToLocationEntity`
  - `processingResult`
  - `EntitiesSearchFilter`
  - `EntityFilter`
  - `DeferredEntity`
  - `EntityRelationSpec`
  - `CatalogProcessor`
  - `CatalogProcessorParser`
  - `CatalogProcessorCache`
  - `CatalogProcessorEmit`
  - `CatalogProcessorLocationResult`
  - `CatalogProcessorEntityResult`
  - `CatalogProcessorRelationResult`
  - `CatalogProcessorErrorResult`
  - `CatalogProcessorRefreshKeysResult`
  - `CatalogProcessorResult`
  - `EntityProvider`
  - `EntityProviderConnection`
  - `EntityProviderMutation`
  - `AnalyzeOptions`
  - `LocationAnalyzer`
  - `ScmLocationAnalyzer`
  - `PlaceholderResolver`
  - `PlaceholderResolverParams`
  - `PlaceholderResolverRead`
  - `PlaceholderResolverResolveUrl`
  - `parseEntityYaml`

  The following removed exports are available from `@backstage/plugin-catalog-common`:

  - `LocationSpec`
  - `AnalyzeLocationRequest`
  - `AnalyzeLocationResponse`
  - `AnalyzeLocationExistingEntity`
  - `AnalyzeLocationGenerateEntity`
  - `AnalyzeLocationEntityField`

  The following removed exports are instead implemented in the new backend system by `@backstage/plugin-search-backend-module-catalog`:

  - `defaultCatalogCollatorEntityTransformer`
  - `CatalogCollatorEntityTransformer`
  - `DefaultCatalogCollator`

  The following exports are removed without a direct replacement:

  - `DefaultCatalogCollatorFactory`
  - `DefaultCatalogCollatorFactoryOptions`
  - `LocationEntityProcessor`
  - `LocationEntityProcessorOptions`
  - `CatalogBuilder`
  - `CatalogEnvironment`
  - `CatalogPermissionRuleInput`
  - `CatalogProcessingEngine`
  - `createRandomProcessingInterval`
  - `ProcessingIntervalFunction`

### Minor Changes

- 6c9b88e: **BREAKING ALPHA**: You can no longer import the catalog plugin from the `/alpha` export; please use the regular root default export instead.
- d88b922: Adds the ability to disable the default entity processors using a new boolean app config item `catalog.disableDefaultProcessors`.

### Patch Changes

- 0e710fc: This patch addresses an issue identified in Backstage when configured with a MySQL database. If an entity of type location
  (e..all.yaml) has more than 70 referenced entities, clicking "Refresh" does not update the referenced entities as expected. This occurs because the TEXT type in MySQL has a limit of 65,535 bytes, which is insufficient to store all the referenced entities, causing the refresh operation to fail.
- 8e0f15f: "Added a note clarifying that `entity-fetch` audit events are not visible by default in the logs and are only displayed when the log severity level is adjusted."

## 1.31.0

### Minor Changes

- 9b9737c: Added support for emitting entities with an explicit location key during processing.
- 8805f93: The catalog backend now supports the new `PermissionsRegistryService`, which can be used to add custom permission rules.
- 5aebc13: The `UrlReaderProccessor` accepts a new config flag `catalog.useUrlReadersSearch` to always call the `search` method of `UrlReaders`.

  This flag currently defaults to `false`, but adopters are encouraged to enable it as this behavior will be the default in a future release.

  Previous behavior was to call the `search` method only if the parsed Git URL's filename contained a wildcard and use `readUrl` otherwise. `UrlReaderService` must implement this logic in the `search` method instead.

  This allows each `UrlReaderService` implementation to check whether it's a search URL (that contains a wildcard pattern) or not using logic that is specific to each provider.

- a4aa244: This change integrates the `auditor` service into the Catalog plugin.

### Patch Changes

- c9139e1: Ignore benign database conflict errors during stitching, now logged with debug level instead.
- f178b12: Cleanup `refresh_state_references` for entity processors and providers that are no longer in control of a `refresh_state` row for entity
- cd372e4: Improved performance when applying conditional decisions to entities within the permission framework.
- 4ae6884: Fixed an bug in the entity processing caching that would prevent entities that were emitted during processing to be restored after being overridden.
- ef73f97: Updated permission integration to use new permission resource ref.

## 1.30.0-next.0

### Minor Changes

- dd515e3: Removed the long-deprecated `DefaultCatalogCollatorFactory` and `DefaultCatalogCollatorFactoryOptions` exports, which now no longer exist in the search plugin's offerings. If you were using these, you want to migrate to [the new backend system](https://backstage.io/docs/backend-system/) and use the [catalog collator](https://backstage.io/docs/features/search/collators#catalog) directly.

## 1.29.0

### Minor Changes

- 02bd2cb: Added a new `catalog.disableRelationsCompatibility` configuration option that avoids JSON deserialization and serialization if possible when reading entities. This significantly reduces the memory usage of the catalog, and slightly increases performance, but it removes the backwards compatibility processing that ensures that both `entity.relation[].target` and `entity.relation[].targetRef` are present in returned entities.
- c1307b4: Implement `/entities` in terms of `queryEntities` to not run into memory and performance problems on large catalogs
- 384e494: Internal updates to generated code.
- 1d0bc11: Fetch all facets in a single database query

### Patch Changes

- dfc8b41: Updated dependency `@opentelemetry/api` to `^1.9.0`.
- 8013c9c: Perform the by-query count inlined with the main query
- feba9ee: Internal refactor of filter parsing logic.
- 1fdb48e: Use a faster count method on pg when computing some metrics
- e4aab10: Fix a bug where sometimes the `by-query` endpoint could return nulls for entities that were not yet stitched.
- f159b25: Compute deltas more efficiently, which generally leads to less wasted processing cycles
- 0c33465: Implement `/entities/by-name/:kind/:namespace/:name` using `getEntitiesByRefs`
- 56511ba: Be more aggressive in dequeueing entities for stitching
- 71152e3: Correctly report stitching queue length
- 5c9cc05: Use native fetch instead of node-fetch
- d93390d: When parsing filters, do not make redundant `anyOf` and `allOf` nodes when there's only a single entry within them
- 3ab57c6: Support changing location keys on existing entities, in delta mutations
- 24ecea8: Avoid extra ordering in by-query when the user doesn't ask for it
- 2924ffe: Compute some metrics using search table facet aggregations instead of reading the full refresh state

## 1.28.0

### Minor Changes

- 39fd704: Internal update to use the new generated server types from `backstage-cli package schema openapi generate --server`.
- 76857da: Added `entity_ref` column to `final_entities` in order to move `refresh_state` away from the read path
- 34d4360: Drop redundant indices from the database.

  The following redundant indices are removed in this version:

  - `final_entities_entity_id_idx` - overlaps with `final_entities_pkey`
  - `refresh_state_entity_id_idx` - overlaps with `refresh_state_pkey`
  - `refresh_state_entity_ref_idx` - overlaps with `refresh_state_entity_ref_uniq`
  - `search_key_idx` and `search_value_idx` - these were replaced by the composite index `search_key_value_idx` in #22594

  No negative end user impact is expected, but rather that performance should increase due to less index churn.

### Patch Changes

- d52d7f9: Support ISO and ms string forms of durations in config too
- b89834b: Fixed an issue where entities would not be marked for restitching if only the target of a relationship changed.
- 1bf02cc: Fixed bug when searching an entity by `spec.profile.displayName` in the catalog on the frontend. Text filter fields were not applied correctly to the database query resulting in empty results.

### Minor Changes

- 74acf06: Add `dependencyOf` prop to catalog model for Component kind to enable building relationship graphs with both directions using `dependsOn` and `dependencyOf`.
- 78475c3: Allow offset mode paging in entity list provider
- bd35cdb: The `analyze-location` endpoint is now protected by the `catalog.location.analyze` permission.
  The `validate-entity` endpoint is now protected by the `catalog.entity.validate` permission.

### Patch Changes

- 1882cfe: Moved `getEntities` ordering to utilize database instead of having it inside catalog client

  Please note that the latest version of `@backstage/catalog-client` will not order the entities in the same way as before. This is because the ordering is now done in the database query instead of in the client. If you rely on the ordering of the entities, you may need to update your backend plugin or code to handle this change.

- d425fc4: Modules, plugins, and services are now `BackendFeature`, not a function that returns a feature.
- c2b63ab: Updated dependency `supertest` to `^7.0.0`.
- 53cce86: Fixed an issue with the by-query call, where ordering by a field that does not exist on all entities led to not all results being returned

## 1.25.3-next.1

### Patch Changes

- 1882cfe: Moved `getEntities` ordering to utilize database instead of having it inside catalog client

  Please note that the latest version of `@backstage/catalog-client` will not order the entities in the same way as before. This is because the ordering is now done in the database query instead of in the client. If you rely on the ordering of the entities, you may need to update your backend plugin or code to handle this change.

## 1.25.3-next.0

### Patch Changes

- d425fc4: Modules, plugins, and services are now `BackendFeature`, not a function that returns a feature.
- 53cce86: Fixed an issue with the by-query call, where ordering by a field that does not exist on all entities led to not all results being returned

## 1.25.0

### Minor Changes

- 163ba08: Deprecated `RouterOptions`, `CatalogBuilder`, and `CatalogEnvironment`. Please make sure to upgrade to the new backend system.
- fc24d9e: Stop using `@backstage/backend-tasks` as it will be deleted in near future.

### Patch Changes

- 776eb56: `ProcessorOutputCollector` returns an error when receiving deferred entities that have an invalid `metadata.annotations` format.

  This allows to return an error on an actual validation issue instead of reporting that the location annotations are missing afterwards, which is misleading for the users.

- 389f5a4: Update deprecated url-reader-related imports.
- 93095ee: Make sure node-fetch is version 2.7.0 or greater
- a629fb2: Added setAllowedLocationTypes while introducing a new extension point called CatalogLocationsExtensionPoint
- 51240ee: Preserve default `allowedLocationTypes` when `setAllowedLocationTypes()` of `CatalogLocationsExtensionPoint` is not called.

## 1.21.1

### Patch Changes

- cfdc5e7: Fixes an issue where `/analyze-location` would incorrectly throw a 500 error on an invalid url.
- d5a1fe1: Replaced winston logger with `LoggerService`
- c52f7ac: Make entity collection errors a little quieter in the logs.

  Instead of logging a warning line when an entity has an error
  during processing, it will now instead emit an event on the event
  broker.

  This only removes a single log line, however it is possible to
  add the log line back if it is required by subscribing to the
  `CATALOG_ERRORS_TOPIC` as shown below.

  ```typescript
  env.eventBroker.subscribe({
    supportsEventTopics(): string[] {
      return [CATALOG_ERRORS_TOPIC];
    },

    async onEvent(
      params: EventParams<{
        entity: string;
        location?: string;
        errors: Array<Error>;
      }>,
    ): Promise<void> {
      const { entity, location, errors } = params.eventPayload;
      for (const error of errors) {
        env.logger.warn(error.message, {
          entity,
          location,
        });
      }
    },
  });

### Minor Changes

- 43dad25: Add API to get location by entity
- 126c2f9: Updates the OpenAPI spec to use plugin as `info.title` instead of package name.
- 04907c3: Updates the OpenAPI specification title to plugin ID instead of package name.
- d8a54d0: Adds support for supplying field validators to the new backend's catalog plugin. If you're using entity policies, you should use the new `transformLegacyPolicyToProcessor` function to install them as processors instead.

  ```ts
  import {
    catalogProcessingExtensionPoint,
    catalogModelExtensionPoint,
  } from '@backstage/plugin-catalog-node/alpha';
  import {myPolicy} from './my-policy';

  export const catalogModulePolicyProvider = createBackendModule({
    pluginId: 'catalog',
    moduleId: 'internal-policy-provider',
    register(reg) {
      reg.registerInit({
        deps: {
          modelExtensions: catalogModelExtensionPoint,
          processingExtensions: catalogProcessingExtensionPoint,
        },
        async init({ modelExtensions, processingExtensions }) {
          modelExtensions.setFieldValidators({
            ...
          });
          processingExtensions.addProcessors(transformLegacyPolicyToProcessor(myPolicy))
        },
      });
    },
  });
  ```

### Patch Changes

- 9aac2b0: Use `--cwd` as the first `yarn` argument
- 89b674c: Minor performance improvement for `queryEntities` when the limit is 0.
- 81e19b1: Replace uses of deprecated types with replacements internally.
- efa8160: Rollback the change for wildcard discovery, this fixes a bug with the `AzureUrlReader` not working with wildcard paths
- d208a93: Fixed a bug where `fullTextFilter` wasn't preserved correctly in the cursor.
- 6bb6f3e: Updated dependency `fs-extra` to `^11.2.0`.
  Updated dependency `@types/fs-extra` to `^11.0.0`.

- 0a395b3: Upgraded `prom-client` to version 15
- 9b2eb3f: Add support for `onProcessingError` handler at the catalog plugin (new backend system).

  You can use `setOnProcessingErrorHandler` at the `catalogProcessingExtensionPoint`
  as replacement for

  ```ts
  catalogBuilder.subscribe({
    onProcessingError: hander,
  });

## 1.15.0

### Minor Changes

- e5bf3749ad: Support adding location analyzers in new catalog analysis extension point and move `AnalyzeOptions` and `ScmLocationAnalyzer` types to `@backstage/plugin-catalog-node`
- 8d756968f9: Introduce a new optional config parameter `catalog.stitchingStrategy.mode`,
  which can have the values `'immediate'` (default) and `'deferred'`. The default
  is for stitching to work as it did before this change, which means that it
  happens "in-band" (blocking) immediately when each processing task finishes.
  When set to `'deferred'`, stitching is instead deferred to happen on a separate
  asynchronous worker queue just like processing.

  Deferred stitching should make performance smoother when ingesting large amounts
  of entities, and reduce p99 processing times and repeated over-stitching of
  hot spot entities when fan-out/fan-in in terms of relations is very large. It
  does however also come with some performance cost due to the queuing with how
  much wall-clock time some types of task take.

### Patch Changes

- 6694b369a3: Update the OpenAPI spec with more complete error responses and request bodies using Optic. Also, updates the test cases to use the new `supertest` pass through from `@backstage/backend-openapi-utils`.
- 013611b42e: `knex` has been bumped to major version 3 and `better-sqlite3` to major version 9, which deprecate node 16 support.

- 09cfc3cf467d: set azure annotation `dev.azure.com/project-repo` in `AnnotateScmSlugEntityProcessor` to find the project and repo information for the repos that contains `dev.azure.com` in the url

### Patch Changes

  For example, if you are currently importing the plugin using the following pattern:

  ```ts
  import { examplePlugin } from '@backstage/plugin-example-backend';

  backend.add(examplePlugin);
  ```

  It should be migrated to this:

  ```ts
  backend.add(import('@backstage/plugin-example-backend'));
  ```

## 1.9.0

### Minor Changes

- 329b63f4dab: The catalog now has a new, optional `catalog.orphanStrategy` app-config parameter, which can have the string values `'keep'` (default) or `'delete'`.

  If set to `'keep'` or left unset, the old behavior is maintained of keeping orphaned entities around until manually deleted.

  If set to `'delete'`, the catalog will attempt to automatically clean out orphaned entities without manual intervention. Note that there are no guarantees that this process is instantaneous, so there may be some delay before orphaned items disappear.

  For context, the [Life of an Entity](https://backstage.io/docs/features/software-catalog/life-of-an-entity/#orphaning) article goes into some more details on how the nature of orphaning works.

  To enable the new behavior, you will need to pass the plugin task scheduler to your catalog backend builder. If your code already looks like this, you don't need to change it:

  ```ts
  // in packages/backend/src/plugins/catalog.ts
  export default async function createPlugin(
    env: PluginEnvironment,
  ): Promise<Router> {
    const builder = await CatalogBuilder.create(env);
  ```

  But if you pass things into the catalog builder one by one, you'll need to add the new field:

  ```diff
   // in packages/backend/src/plugins/catalog.ts
     const builder = await CatalogBuilder.create({
       // ... other dependencies
  +    scheduler: env.scheduler,
     });
  ```

  Finally adjust your app-config:

  ```yaml
  catalog:
    orphanStrategy: delete
  ```

## 1.6.0

### Minor Changes

- 16891a212c: Added new `POST /entities/by-refs` endpoint, which allows you to efficiently
  batch-fetch entities by their entity ref. This can be useful e.g. in graphql
  resolvers or similar contexts where you need to fetch many entities at the same
  time.
- 273ba3a77f: Deprecated Prometheus metrics in favour of OpenTelemtry metrics.
- c395abb5b2: The catalog no longer stops after the first processor `validateEntityKind`
  method returns `true` when validating entity kind shapes. Instead, it continues
  through all registered processors that have this method, and requires that _at
  least one_ of them returned true.

  The old behavior of stopping early made it harder to extend existing core kinds
  with additional fields, since the `BuiltinKindsEntityProcessor` is always
  present at the top of the processing chain and ensures that your additional
  validation code would never be run.

  This is technically a breaking change, although it should not affect anybody
  under normal circumstances, except if you had problematic validation code that
  you were unaware that it was not being run. That code may now start to exhibit
  those problems.

  If you need to disable this new behavior, `CatalogBuilder` as used in your
  `packages/backend/src/plugins/catalog.ts` file now has a
  `useLegacySingleProcessorValidation()` method to go back to the old behavior.

  ```diff
   const builder = await CatalogBuilder.create(env);
  +builder.useLegacySingleProcessorValidation();
  ```

- 3072ebfdd7: The search table also holds the original entity value now and the facets endpoint fetches the filtered entity data from the search table.

### Patch Changes

- ba13ff663c: Added a new `catalog.rules[].location` configuration that makes it possible to configure catalog rules to only apply to specific locations, either via exact match or a glob pattern.
- d8593ce0e6: Do not use deprecated `LocationSpec` from the `@backstage/plugin-catalog-node` package
- c507aee8a2: Ensured typescript type checks in migration files.
- 2a8e3cc0b5: Optimize `Stitcher` process to be more memory efficient
- 884d749b14: Refactored to use `coreServices` from `@backstage/backend-plugin-api`.
- eacc8e2b55: Make it possible for entity providers to supply only entity refs, instead of full entities, in `delta` mutation deletions.
- b05dcd5530: Move the `zod` dependency to a version that does not collide with other libraries
- 5b3e2afa45: Fixed deprecated use of `substr` into `substring`.
- 71147d5c16: Internal code reorganization.
- 93870e4df1: Track the last time the final entity changed with new timestamp "last updated at" data in final entities database, which gets updated with the time when final entity is updated.
- 20a5161f04: Adds MySQL support for the catalog-backend
- 3280711113: Updated dependency `msw` to `^0.49.0`.

  with additional fields, since the `BuiltinKindsEntityProcessor` is always
  present at the top of the processing chain and ensures that your additional
  validation code would never be run.

  This is technically a breaking change, although it should not affect anybody
  under normal circumstances, except if you had problematic validation code that
  you were unaware that it was not being run. That code may now start to exhibit
  those problems.

  If you need to disable this new behavior, `CatalogBuilder` as used in your
  `packages/backend/src/plugins/catalog.ts` file now has a
  `useLegacySingleProcessorValidation()` method to go back to the old behavior.

  ```diff
   const builder = await CatalogBuilder.create(env);
  +builder.useLegacySingleProcessorValidation();
  ```

### Minor Changes

- 16891a212c: Added new `POST /entities/by-refs` endpoint, which allows you to efficiently

## 1.5.0

### Minor Changes

- b2e6cb6acf: Added a new method `addLocationAnalyzers` to the `CatalogBuilder`. With this you can add location analyzers to your catalog. These analyzers will be used by the /analyze-location endpoint to decide if the provided URL contains any catalog-info.yaml files already or not.

  Moved the following types from this package to `@backstage/plugin-catalog-backend`.

  - AnalyzeLocationResponse
  - AnalyzeLocationRequest
  - AnalyzeLocationExistingEntity
  - AnalyzeLocationGenerateEntity
  - AnalyzeLocationEntityField

- eb25f7e12d: The exported permission rules and the API of `createCatalogConditionalDecision` have changed to reflect the breaking changes made to the `PermissionRule` type. Note that all involved types are exported from `@backstage/plugin-catalog-backend/alpha`

### Patch Changes

- 8cb6e10105: Fixed a bug where entities provided without a location key would always replace
