We are happy to announce that a new release of KoboToolbox has been deployed to the Global server as of 21:00 UTC on 9 September 2024. Deployment to the EU occurred 15:30 UTC on 18 September 2024.

kpi#4981		 Migrate Kobocat codebase into KPI

The KoboCAT Django project is now consolidated into the KPI repository here. Kobocat will no longer run in it’s own separate container. As a result, CSV import from API V1 is no longer supported and many environment variable names have changed. Users should not notice a difference in how the application as a whole acts.

This is a much anticipated change for the development team and will be a huge improvement to our ability to fix bugs and add new features.

The kc URLS still exist and work. No changes are needed for KoboCollect configurations.

:warning: Important notes for self-hosters and developers:
Please read this article before updating. Upcoming changes for self-hosters

kobo-install version 9.0.0 is the latest version to support docker-compose v1. Please update to v2.
