Repository used to checkout code now included in step output of CircleCI web app    

As part of enabling users to more flexibly trigger work, the output of the “checkout step” in the CircleCI web app now shows the repository that is being checked out during the execution of the job. This is helpful for scenarios where the repository being checked out does not match the repository where the configuration file lives and/or the repository of the trigger event.

GitHub OAuth App "triggers" reflected in Triggers tab of Project Settings    

As a continuation of CircleCI’s update to enable access to “GitHub App functionality” to all CircleCI users (including users of the GitHub OAuth App integration), the “Triggers” tab in Project Settings of the CircleCI web app now shows a “GitHub OAuth App” trigger and a badge to indicate the integration type. This is intended to make it easier for all users to understand what is currently set up within their CircleCI project.

GitHub OAuth App & Bitbucket Cloud "pipelines" reflected in Pipelines tab of Project Settings    

As part of CircleCI’s update to enable access to “GitHub App functionality” to all CircleCI users (including users of the GitHub OAuth App integration), the “Pipelines” tab in Project Settings of the CircleCI web app now shows a “GitHub OAuth App” or “Bitbucket Cloud” pipeline and a badge to indicate the integration type. This is intended to make it easier for all users to understand what is currently set up within their CircleCI project. A subsequent update will do the same for the “Triggers” tab.

New v2 API endpoint for triggering pipelines    

A new v2 API endpoint for triggering pipelines via API is now available to all organizations that integrate through GitHub (GitHub OAuth and GitHub App) and Bitbucket (Cloud and Data Center). This functionality is not yet available to organizations that integrate through GitLab.

Job Filters Now Support Pipeline Value Conditionals     

Job Filters now support expression based conditions, much like contexts. This enables you to conditionally run jobs based on pipeline values. This supports you optimizing pipelines to lower costs, decrease time to feedback, or run specific jobs based on context of the source of change. Previously filtering was extremely limited to branches and evaluating to only and ignore.

GitHub App repository selection in project settings now allows searching by keyword    

GitHub App users who granted their App access to more than 100 repositories have been running into issues when creating Pipelines and Triggers on CircleCI, because the repository dropdown would only display a limited number of repositories.

Orb Security Setting Update    

Orbs are the leading method to abstract away shared aspects of your pipelines. They make it possible to simplify the complex, share, and maintain jobs and commands across your organization. For large organizations, private orbs cab provide efficiency and scale.

Additional audit log details for workflow

Pipelines page performance improvements    

The pipelines page can load slowly for some users. The number of pipelines and number of projects can contribute to that slowness. A recent change to one of the underlying data services has been made resulting in a 30%-40% improvement in performance.

Cancel approval jobs    

We have added an API and UI component to approval jobs that allows you to “cancel” the approval job. Previously it was not possible to cancel approval jobs. This limitation forced you to either approve the job or let it expire, which takes 90 days. This led to a suboptimal experience with jobs left in a non-terminal state. This could impact performance metrics, as well pipelines views. It also led to non-intuitive actions being taken like cancelling the workflow which cancels all remaining jobs.

Change to webhook.body pipeline value    

Previously: The pipeline.trigger_parameters.webhook.body pipeline value was only populated when a custom webhook triggered the pipeline. If a config used pipeline.trigger_parameters.webhook.body and the pipeline was triggered with a GitHub App event, an errored pipeline would occur. This made it difficult to use one configuration file with a custom webhook & GitHub App triggers.

Server Release 4.3.7    

What’s New

  • Added support for absolute paths in defining a GCP network under the machine provisioner configuration. This feature is particularly useful for VM jobs using shared networks, enabling explicit network selection. This corrects a regression from the previous VM service architecture.

Minor improvement to Inbound Webhook trigger creation flow    

When creating a new Inbound Webhook trigger, CircleCI automatically creates a GitHub App configuration source to be used by the trigger. With this fix, the config source is automatically created when saving the trigger, rather than when entering the creation flow.

Release Agent 1.2.0 Release    

Changes:

  • Added support for proprietary labels circleci.com/component-name and circleci.com/version that will replace app and version. Currently the old labels are still supported, but it is recommended to migrate to the new ones as soon as possible, since support for them will be dropped in an upcoming releases. NOTE When migrating to the new circleci.com/component-name and circleci.com/version labels, rolling back to a version with the old app and version labels is supported only if the deployment or rollout is managed by Helm.
  • Fixed an issue with rollbacks failing when the deployment was managed by Argo Rollout and Helm was not being used.

  • Open Source projects on a free plan are no longer capped by the 30,000 free credit limit.
