Changelog

Keep up to date with our latest
releases and enhancements.

Release 2.18.03    

What’s New in Release 2.18.03

Features

Following our release of Windows support on the hosted offering of CircleCI, running VM-based jobs in Windows environments is now supported on CircleCI Server instances running in AWS.

Branch and My Pipelines Filters Now Available in New UI    

What’s New

Branch and “My Pipelines” filter options are now available in the new UI. Both are easily accessible at the top of the Pipelines page. Filter options now include:

Workflow Rerun and Cancel Now Available in New UI    

What’s New

You can now cancel and rerun workflows from the Workflow Detail page. Previously this functionality was only available from the Job Detail page. This change was made after data analysis indicated that most users were rerunning workflows from the workflow level rather than the job level on the old UI.

Manual Approval Functionality Available in the New UI    

What’s New

Manual approval of hold jobs is now fully functional in the new UI. To approve a job, click the name of your workflow from either the Job Detail page breadcrumb, or the Pipelines List page to navigate to the Workflow Map. You will see the approval job has a purple status icon. Click the job and a button will pop-up to confirm approval.

New Compatibility Options for CIRCLE_COMPARE_URL    

What’s New

Version 2 config with pipelines enabled will now automatically have the CIRCLE_COMPARE_URL injected into the job configuration. Previously, if you referenced CIRCLE_COMPARE_URL in a version 2 config, then turned on pipelines, it would disappear. This fixes that issue. For version 2.1 config we do not automatically inject CIRCLE_COMPARE_URL. Instead, we have exposed metadata about the pipeline for you to use more granularly. Mosts users end up parsing out CIRCLE_COMPARE_URL, so instead we did that work for you. In version 2.1 config you can now do the following:

Workflows Graph Now Available in the New UI    

What’s New

The workflows graph is now available in the new UI, with improvements in the way job connectivity is displayed, compared to the old workflows graph. This core feature displays a visual representation of how jobs fit together within your workflow.

All Rerun Options are Now Available in the New UI    

What’s New

All rerun options - Rerun Workflow, Rerun Workflow from Failed, and Rerun Job with SSH – are now available from the Job Details page in the new UI.

Configuration Now Available in New UI    

What’s New

You can now access your configuration files, both pre-processing and post-processing, from the new UI, when opted in. The config file links are available from both the Job Details page at the top right, and the Pipelines list page via the 3-dot drop-down menu.

Automatic opt-in to new UI    

What’s New

After loads of great feedback we have determined our Job Details page in the new UI now adds far more value than the old UI equivalent. We are beginning to automatically opt-in customers who will benefit most from the new view – those who primarily use the Job Details page (as opposed to needing the Workflows Map). A welcome message will be displayed on arrival and you can opt-out at any time.

MacOS 10.15 Catalina image and Xcode 11.2 Beta 2 is Released    

What’s New

We’ve released our first macOS 10.15 Catalina image along with Xcode 11.2 Beta 2. Read our discuss post for more on highlights and usage.

What’s New

Artifacts in new UI    

What’s New

You can now find Artifacts the new UI Job Details page. We started with a flat list after numerous customer interviews. It’s no surprise that “find” is our friend. We will eventually build a search bar to filter artifacts - but hey, cntrl-f is easy. Please give it a whirl and share your feedback.
