Changelog

Keep up to date with our latest
releases and enhancements.

Test Splitting on Self-Hosted Runners    

What’s New

CircleCI now supports using Test Splitting on jobs that run on self-hosted runners. With this release, Runner jobs can take advantage of CircleCI’s parallelism and Test Splitting features in a manner identical to how jobs that run on CircleCI-hosted compute use the features.

Update to IP ranges feature    

What’s New

In making recent updates to the IP ranges feature, a change was made which inadvertently added several new IPs and removed several existing IPs from the static list of IPs associated with CircleCI.

Unlinking VCS connections when resetting a password    

What’s New

When requesting a password reset, CircleCI will unlink any existing legacy connections to Version Control Systems (VCS) like GitHub and BitBucket. This ensures that when a new password is set, all previous connections to a VCS are severed.

New deploy convenience image    

What’s New

A brand new convenience image focused on deployment, cimg/deploy, has been deployed in Beta. We are actively seeking feedback from users during this Beta period

Xcode 13.3.1 now available    

What’s New

Xcode 13.3.1 image has been released and is now available on our VM and Metal macOS resource classes. Please see the announcement thread on Discuss for more information about this update.

Enhancement to the IP ranges feature    

What’s New

With this update, Docker image pulls now go through the set of well-defined IPs, with no additional changes needed from your end.

This update enables you to use your private Docker registries with the IP ranges feature and only open up traffic to those registries to IPs associated with CircleCI.

April android images update    

What’s New

CircleCI has updated our Android images for April. This release updates key software versioning for the Android Docker Image cimg/android, in addition to the Android Machine Image android:2022.04.1.

Release 3.4.1

Windows Server 2022 Edge image update    

What’s New

The Windows Server 2022 edge image has been updated to include nvm.portable 1.1.9 and docker engine 20.10.14.

Storage retention controls UI launched for all paid plans    

What’s New

This feature allows you to set up preferred retention days across object types, while keeping storage costs predictable as CircleCI begins enabling plans to become eligible for overage charges. Beginning May 1, Performance and Free plans will be subject to overage charges, while on June 1, Scale and Custom plans will be subject to overages. Rolling out this UI feature today ensures you have 30-60 days until you will begin receiving overage charges.

Windows executor images updated for April    

What’s New

This update includes CircleCI’s first ‘current’ release of Windows Server 2022, in addition to regular updates for Windows Server 2019 and Windows Server 2019 - Cuda.

Resource class insights    

What’s New

Resource class insights provides observability into your resource usage.

With this feature, you will be able to access your historical CPU and RAM utilization enabling intelligent decision making based on historical trends and job needs.

Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish beta available for testing    

What’s New

Ubuntu 22.04 is now available for beta testing on Linux VMs (the machine executor), and for the cimg/base Convenience Image. These images are in beta, and therefore should not be used in production. The images have backwards incompatible changes, and will be updated based on customer feedback over the next month.

Please find more information about the beta images in the CircleCI Discuss post.

Release 3.4.0

Notes

OIDC tokens in jobs    

What’s New

CircleCI now generates OIDC tokens in jobs that use a context. This feature enables you to securely assume a role within a third party service that supports OIDC, while removing the need to store long-lived static secrets in CircleCI when you want to connect to things like Vault, GCP, AWS, and other services.

For more information about this update, please refer to the following CircleCI OIDC documentation.

Android images March update    

What’s New

The Android Docker and Android VM images have been updated for March, including the inclusion of Android Tiramisu.

Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 image deprecation    

What’s New

On February 15, 2022, the Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 Linux VM images used with our machine executor were deprecated, meaning there will be no new releases or support for these images moving forward. When these images reach end of life (EOL) on May 31, 2022, any pipelines that utilize Ubuntu 14.04 or 16.04 images will fail.

Support for Windows Server 2022    

What’s New

CircleCI now supports Windows Server 2022. CircleCI has released a new Windows Server 2022 image which enables customers using CircleCI’s Windows executors to take advantage of the latest operating system, IDE (Visual Studio 2022), and software from Microsoft.

GitHub SSH key changes    

What’s New

On March 15, 2022, GitHub will be changing which keys are supported in SSH and removing unencrypted Git protocol. As a result of this change, any image you have used in a job from a project created between November 2, 2021 and January 13, 2022 will require a version of OpenSSH greater than or equal to version 7.2.

Release 3.3.1

Express project setup    

What’s New

View network transfer information in Resources tab    

What’s New

Network transfer information is now available for all jobs using a Docker executor (excluding remote Docker) on our Cloud platform. This feature can help you predict the cost of using the IP ranges feature as well as optimize IP ranges usage.

New Billing Portal roll out complete to all self-serve customers    

What’s New

CircleCI has made it possible for you to access the billing portal without needing to be redirected away from the CircleCI website and on to Chargify’s portal. This eliminates any issues regarding the security of payment details.

Estimated runtime now available for ongoing builds    

What’s New

We have added the ability for you to view the estimated runtime as your build is running on both the dashboard and pipelines pages. The estimated time is located under the status column and is based on your previous workflow runs.

Enlarge embedded images by a click    

What’s New

When you view images in the CircleCI technical documentation, you can now click on the image to enlarge. This will particularly help you with content heavy images that are difficult to read in the embedded size, and provides additional accessibility support in our documentation

Revamped code snippets in CircleCI documentation    

What’s New

We have added a new theme for code snippets in our technical documentation. Since the new theme matches the in-app theme, you should have an easier time navigating back and forth between the CircleCI documentation and the CircleCI app.

Dedicated hosts for macOS    

What’s New

Dedicated hosts for macOS are now available on CircleCI. This new layer of support is built exclusively for macOS and offers Apple developers unprecedented storage, security, and testing capabilities on CircleCI. By reserving a dedicated host, teams can unlock access to a bare metal instance that provides exclusive access to an entire host machine with 200GB of storage for 24 hours.

macOS on free plans    

What’s New

We are excited to announce that access to our macOS executor is now available on our free plan. Apple developers can now start building apps for iOS, macOS, tvOS, or watchOS devices, regardless of which plan they’re on.

New IP ranges GA    

What’s New

The IP ranges feature is now generally available to all customers on a Performance or Scale plan. This feature is designed for customers who need to configure IP-based access to their restricted environments. As part of this feature, CircleCI provides a list of well-defined IP addresses associated with the CircleCI service. CircleCI jobs that have this feature enabled will have their traffic routed through one of these defined IP addresses.

New Insights public APIs    

What’s New

CircleCI has just release 7 new Insights API endpoints to improve pipeline observability and tracking. You can now access even more insights features such as:

Release 3.3.0    

Before Upgrading

See the What’s new in server 3.x doc for upgrade notes for this release.

Windows 2019 image update    

What’s New

We have released a new image update for Windows, in addition to an update for Visual Studio 2019 16.11.9.0. You can access these updates via our “edge” tags.

Toggle outlier values    

What’s New

You may now hide outlier values in your Most Recent Workflow Runs chart in Insights, giving you more control over how you would like your data to be displayed.

Updated usage controls to help minimize credits wasted on unregistered users.    

What’s New

Your organization will now be able to take advantage of updated usage controls, which can reduce credits wasted on actions run by unregistered users. This is a function available on your CircleCI dashboard and can be enabled/disabled by your account admin.

Free plan updates    

What’s New

We have made some exciting updates to our free plan, including giving teams more build minutes and access to our most popular features formerly only available on paid plans.

Increase in storage available for jobs that use the Windows executor    

What’s New

When you use our Windows executors, you may now take advantage of a larger disk size of 200 GB. This increase in storage size unlocks scenarios where you may wish to download large amounts of software during job execution (ie. gaming engines).

Underlying OS upgrade for jobs that use the Docker executor    

What’s New

On December 7, 2021; CircleCI upgraded the underlying operating system used to run customer containers as part of the Docker executor on CircleCI Cloud. This change is critical to ensuring the underlying infrastructure that runs your jobs continues to provide reliable and performant execution.

Gen2 mac resources    

What’s New

We have released a new generation of macOS resources. These new resources can speed up builds by up to 50%, and are available to customers on Performance, Custom, and Scale plans.

Release 2.19.13    

What’s New in Release 2.19.13

Notes

In March 2022 updates to CircleCI server v2.x will stop. Support for customers using CircleCI server v2.x will continue.

SSH reruns as workflows    

What’s New

SSH reruns have historically been run as independent jobs, rather than as part of a workflow. This makes those jobs difficult to track and manage, causing them to block customers with limited concurrency. We are now running SSH reruns as workflow reruns, so they will appear in the same way that “rerun from failed” workflows appear.

Release 3.2.2    

Before Upgrading

See the What’s new in server 3.x doc for upgrade notes for this release.

Xcode 13.2 RC image    

What’s New

The Xcode 13.2 RC image is now available on our macOS resource classes. For further information about this image, please see the Image Manifest and the Discuss post for details.
