Jenkins

Back in May 2016 we announced our intent to rethink the Jenkins User experience with the Blue Ocean project and today the Jenkins project are pleased to announce the general availability of Blue Ocean 1.0. Blue Ocean is an entirely new, modern and fun way for developers to use Jenkins that has been built from the ground up to help teams of any size approach Continuous Delivery. Easily installed as...

This is a guest post by Bhavani Rao, Marketing Manager at CloudBees Last fall, prior to Jenkins World, CloudBees conducted a Community Survey. We received over 1200 responses, and thanks to this input, we have some interesting insights into how Jenkins users and their use of Jenkins are evolving. Based on the survey’s results, Jenkins is increasingly being used to support continuous delivery (CD). Adoption of Jenkins 2, which featured "Pipeline...

Earlier this month, a full-day event about Jenkins Pipeline was organized in Toulouse, France with the Toulouse JAM. After a warm-up on the previous Tuesday where Michaël Pailloncy had given a talk at the local Toulouse Devops user group about Jenkins Pipeline ecosystem, we were ready for more digging :-). The agenda We had planned the day in two parts: Morning would be a more driven workshop with...

Multiple Jenkins plugins received updates today that fix several security vulnerabilities: Active Directory Distributed Fork Email Extension (Email-ext) Mailer SSH Slaves For an overview of what was fixed, see the security advisory. Additionally, we also published a security notice for the following plugin and recommend that users disable and uninstall it: Pipeline: Classpath Step This plugin is not part of the Pipeline suite of plugins, despite its name. It’s installed on just several...

We’re counting down the weeks until Blue Ocean 1.0, and we’re getting close! In this past week, the first release candidate has gone out to the Update Center, along with a new Pipeline Editor plugin. The Blue Ocean Pipeline Editor is its own plugin which integrates into Blue Ocean, so this was a coordinated release with Blue Ocean 1.0 rc1. Noteworthy this week: RC1 includes the Blue Ocean Pipeline Editor,...

In early February numerous free and open source developers from around the world traveled to Brussels, Belgium, for arguably the largest event of its kind: FOSDEM. Among the thousands of hackers in attendance were a dozen or so Jenkins contributors. We have attended the event in the past, but this year we had a blizzard of activity spanning four days around the FOSDEM weekend. Figure 1. City Hall, photo by Kohsuke...

We’re counting down the weeks until Blue Ocean 1.0. This week was one of continuing consolidation and polish. We also released b25 (beta #25), a collectors edition. The next version we will likely release will be a release candidate (RC). The b25 release however contained a number of fixes and features, such as branch filtering. Some other updates of note from this past week: Updated a bunch of dependencies around...

We’re counting down the weeks until Blue Ocean 1.0. This week was relatively quiet with a few people away for a few days, and mostly about consolidation. There was a beta late last week, so this week we thought we would let people have a rest from the upgrade treadmill for once. One notable feature that has recently landed is "escaping to Classic" When you see the exit symbol...

We’re counting down the weeks until Blue Ocean 1.0. In all the excitement I forgot to post a dev log last week, so I will make up for it this week. In the last 10 days, 2 betas went out: b22 and b23, and a preview release of the editor. We expect the next release will be named a release candidate (we know there is still more to go...

This is a guest post by Liam Newman, Technical Evangelist at CloudBees. Declare Your Pipelines! Declarative Pipeline 1.0 is here! This is the fourth post in a series showing some of the cool features of Declarative Pipeline. In the previous post, we integrated several notification services into a Declarative Pipeline. We kept our Pipeline clean and easy to understand by using a shared library to make a custom step called sendNotifications that we called at...
