The Plan card on the Organization Homepage in the CircleCI web app was not including credits charged for using CircleCI’s Releases functionality. This has been fixed.

Bug Fixes

• Removed duplicate volume from domain-service
• Numerous CVE fixes
• Removed unnecessary ingress rules
• Fixed job cancel endpoints
• SMTP bug fix
• Added flag to disable isolated git checkout when invoking task agent
• Instead of copying task agent into each task pod, we now use an init container with task agent resulting in faster time to starting tasks

Update: Aug 12, 2024. We discovered that the init container changes were not included in this release and have updated the change log.

When one organization shares a plan with another organization, the plan tier of the parent organization is shown on the User Homepage (/home) of the CircleCI web app. Previously, this showed Free.

When a user clicked “Go back” from the flow to create a project with CircleCI’s GitHub App or GitLab integrations, the web app would not redirect the user back to the previous page that they were on. This has now been fixed.

Container Runner:

• Support the user key in the docker executor configuration. This allows you to execute task-agent with a different user than the image’s default. Due to limitations of the Kubernetes API, this feature has some caveats:
  • This key is only supported on the primary container. Service containers will continue to run as the default user.
  • Some user environment variables, such as $PATH, may be reset.
• Further reduction in the memory footprint of Container Runner. This includes a fix for a memory leak that could cause the container-agent Pod to use excess memory and unexpectedly crash under certain workloads.
• Fix for a bug that caused tokens for private AWS ECR images to be cached beyond their expiry, potentially causing image pull errors.

Both Machine and Container Runner:

• Optimize the download and storage caching of new task agent versions.

Previously, when users tried to connect their VCS with a GitHub account that was already linked to a separate CircleCI account, they would encounter a status 500 error. This would manifest in the CircleCI UI as an inability to list repositories on the form to create a project and the screen appeared frozen. Users that run into this scenario will now no longer see a frozen screen and instead be redirected to a page where they see an error message telling them remediation steps.
