Summary of May 2018 Releases

CJE runs natively inside a Google-hosted Kubernetes service:

• 
Quickly onboard teams and provision masters with a few clicks.
• Provides a CI/CD solution for all your applications - not just modern apps. Develop and deploy regardless of whether they are cloud native or legacy.

Increases automation and collaboration, which lowers the need for manual handoffs between teams. This also reduces the overhead for managing dependencies between builds.

Extending Beekeeper Upgrade Assistant improves plugin management and makes our product more lovable for the user with increased control over plugin usage.

Reduces the risk of destabilizing the existing Jenkins infrastructure while supporting rapid adoption.

• Easy configuration and adoption of metrics across existing infrastructure.
• Simplified installation for faster time to value.
• Significantly decreased dependencies.

DevOps Performance Metrics enables continuous improvement across all of your teams with up-to-the-minute data:

• Eliminate intensive and error-prone manual data collection with turnkey DevOps performance metrics.
• Make informed decisions to improve business outcomes based on trusted, easy-to-understand dashboards.
• Support increased adoption of best practices by demonstrating DevOps-driven improvements across your application value streams.

Manual Approval Step

For Codeship Pro only, a new manual step type is provided that will instruct Codeship to pause a build and wait for manual approval from a project owner.

• This is a group type step inside your codeship-services.yml file and, for now, will be limited to a single manual-type build group per relevant branch in a build.

• Better control and management of your builds.
• Increases awareness of what happens and when it occurs within your builds.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Update

GDPR was passed by the EU in 2016, requiring companies that do business with EU citizens to respect the privacy of its users. Here's what we've implemented to address this:

• A new step to the signup flow that informs the user what we are gathering and why we are doing this.
• A new section to the personal preferences view, to allow a user to opt-in/-out of tracking.
• Added new notifications to prompt existing users to review and consent to privacy policy updates.
• A check on both frontend and backend, to ensure that tracking is only enabled for users who have consented to be tracked.
• Removed conversion and marketing trackers from the app
  • Google, Facebook, Twitter etc.

Codeship promises to do right by its customers and takes your privacy seriously.

With Codeship's large presence in the EU, the aforementioned changes were rolled out to help our customers understand what data is being collected and how it is being used. Please feel free to contact us directly with any concerns at support@codeship.com.
