As part of continuous delivery efforts we provide a stream of rolling releases on all our products every 4-6 weeks. Below are release highlights from the June 7 releases for CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise, CloudBees Jenkins Team, CloudBees Jenkins Platform and OSS. In addition, CloudBees has delivered key improvement for the Jenkins community, such as the ability to test LDAP settings before implementation to avoid accidental lockouts and support for disabling Pipeline jobs.
Improvements Across All Products
These improvements apply universally to all of our commercial offerings: CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise, CloudBees Jenkins Platform and CloudBees Jenkins Team.
| Improvements | Details |
|---|---|
|
Improved upgrade notifications When a new rolling release is available, administrators are provided details on release contents and an upgrade simulation, Beekeeper provides a link to release notes and shows what components (Jenkins core + plugins) that will change if the upgrade is performed. |
Upgrades changes are clearly identified before an upgrade is initiated. Jenkins administrators know what components are changing before implementing an upgrade and can choose to skip an upgrade if it isn’t pertinent to their needs. |
