Changelog

What’s New

Multiple contexts can now be used in a Workflow. Previously, workflows were limited to having a single context. Instead of passing in a string to the context key in the config file, a list may be passed containing the contexts to be used in the workflow. This makes updates to contexts easier to manage and more secure.

What’s New

Workflow Map connection lines are now straight and do not overlap. When you hover-over of a job, all dependencies from and to that job are highlighted.

What’s New

The ‘credits available’ section of the Plan Overview in the UI has been updated to clarify some confusion around understanding credit balance. The bar display has been removed and the credits balance is now clearly shown.

What’s New in Release 2.19.06

Fixes

• Fixed a bug that was causing workflow statuses to be displayed on GitHub in the wrong order.
• Introduced performance improvements to workflows-conductor that dramatically reduce CPU usage and latency.
• Fixed a bug that was preventing use of an S3 storage region other than us-east-1 via an IAM user.
• Fixed formatting type of SMTP passwords to ensure they are masked during setup.

Known Issues

• If any changes have been made to your networking configuration from the default, you should run the following steps to ensure you can use SSH to inspect your builds (for further information on SSH reruns see the SSH Rerun Guide):
  • For customers using AWS, make sure that you have the latest Launch Configuration configured for Nomad clients, and that exiting Nomad clients were spun up using the Launch Configuration.
  • On each Nomad Client machine, create /etc/circleci/public-ipv4
  • This file should contain the public (if aplicable) or private IP of the nomad client

What’s New

Fixed a bug that was causing previous macOS trials to show as $0 plans on the Plan Overview page. Old trials are no longer visible in the UI.

What’s New

The config error message shown when there is an empty config file on triggering a pipeline has been improved to both clearly state the problem, and provide a way to get back to project setup to add a config.

What’s New

Child orgs now get premium features, including resource class allowance and DLC, from the parent org when plans are shared.

What’s New

Commit messages are now displayed along with commit author on the Job page in the New UI.

What’s New

The button to manually add a config when starting a new project now reads “Use Existing Config”. Previously, this text read “Add Manually”. Through user research it was found that the new text directly encompasses many more use cases, including existing users with existing config ready to go.

What’s New

The Branch and Commit message columns have been combined on the pipelines dashboard view of the new UI making the page easier to scan for the information you require.

What’s New

The metadata section at the top of the Job page has been reworked to better group related concepts and include new labelling. This redesign makes it more clear which link is for which feature, especially for those not familiar with icons for branch, commit, PR etc.

What’s New

The Pipelines page has been redesigned to merge the Project and Pipeline number columns together and make the font smaller across the whole page. This change allows you to see more pipelines on the dashboard without scrolling.

What’s New

If you use Remote Docker in your Pipelines (setup_remote_docker) you now have the option of choosing Docker v19.03.12. For more information see the Discuss post. For usage information, and a full list of available versions see the Remote Docker Docs

What’s New

Non-admins can now see Plan Overview and Usage pages in the new UI.

What’s New in Release 2.19.05

Fixes

• Fixed a bug that could lead to the VM database ending up in an incorrect state in the event of a Services Machine crash or manual termination of VM Service instances.

Known Issues

• If any changes have been made to your networking configuration from the default, you should run the following steps to ensure you can use SSH to inspect your builds:
  • For customers using AWS, make sure that you have the latest Launch Configuration configured for Nomad clients, and that exiting Nomad clients were spun up using the Launch Configuration.
  • On each Nomad Client machine, create /etc/circleci/public-ipv4
  • This file should contain the public (if aplicable) or private IP of the nomad client

What’s New

Next-gen Elixir docker image now available. For full details see the discuss post.

What’s New

New Ubuntu 16.04-based machine executor image, ubuntu-1604:202007-01 now available. For full details see the discuss post. For usage information see the Configuration Reference.

What’s New

• Waiting indicates the time spent preparing a job to run due to Docker image choice and CircleCI infrastructure time.
• Queued indicates when you hit a concurrency plan limit, and your job isn’t running because other jobs in your organization are running first.

These two definitions were previously vice versa in the UI, which caused confusion due to discrepancies between usage in the UI and what most customers understood the terms to mean. We hope this change will avoid any confusion in future.

What’s New

You can now commit config directly from the Project Set-Up page to your repo with 1-click. The same config can also be downloaded and committed manually if preferred.

What’s New in Release 2.19.04

Fixes

• Fixed a bug that was leading to support bundle creation timing out before the Services machine logs had been created, leaving only Replicated logs.

What’s New

Container cgroup limits are now visible when using the Docker executor. This means that container-aware build tooling will now correctly detect the number of CPUs and amount of RAM available to the job.

What’s New

The Plan Usage page in the new UI now includes a Compute tab, showing compute minutes and credits by executor type. You can also further filter the breakdown by projects. MacOS container plan users will also see overages within this tab.

If you are not currently on a usage plan, this page will show compute usage by credit and user to give an indication of what to expect on the usage plan.

What’s New

Previously, queue and wait times were hidden behind an information icon hoover-over. They are now in their own section in the Job Details header. User-research showed these items were hard to find and folks did not like them being hidden.

What’s New

Favicons for CircleCI job pages now reflect the status of the job. The icon becomes red for a failed job, green for success, and blue for still running.

What’s New

The new Plan overview page includes improved visualisations for credit usage, user seats and upgrade options. Access the Plan overview from the new UI sidebar.

What’s New

A link to the changelog is now on the Help menu, accessible from any core-app page.

There is now a “help” icon and button on the main navigation of the new UI. When expanded, this menu includes links to Docs, Discuss, Support, Premium Support, Orbs and Feature requests.

What’s New

You can now approve jobs with API v2. The new endpoint is POST /api/v2/workflow/:workflow-id/approve/:approval-request-id. The approval request id is the ID of a pending approval job, which will also be returned as an approval_request_id on approval jobs returned by the API. For more information see the API v2 docs.

What’s New

Colorized loading of step output has returned to the new UI on the Job Details page up to 6000 ANSI words.

What’s New

Slack has been a powerful way for orgs to get status updates and custom alerts. We’ve brought it back in the new UI under Project Settings to aid users to solve their problems more efficiently while remaining in their Slack workflow.

What’s New

When viewing the Pipelines page, the most recent pipeline and any failed pipelines will be auto expanded to show the jobs that ran. This gives a quicker route to accessing job step output.

What’s New

The Test Summary tab on the Job Details page in the New UI now displays green when tests pass, and red for failures. The number of tests run, or number of failed tests is also displayed.

What’s New

Previously, the number of parallel runs in use was displayed, now both this and the maximum available are shown. You can also hover over the adjacent information icon for further information.

What’s New in Release 2.19.02

Fixes

• In the LDAP login flow we now use an anonymous form to POST LDAP auth state, rather than sending it as a GET parameter. Previously, when a user authenticated using LDAP, their username and password were sent in plaintext as part of a query parameter in a GET request. As requests are over HTTPS, this left usernames and passwords in request logs, etc. This issue is now fixed.
