Changes to GitHub repository selection in project creation flow of CircleCI UI    

Users who had more than ~200 repositories in their GitHub organization & integrated with CircleCI’s GitHub App were hitting a timeout error when setting up a new project that required them to select one of their repositories.

Audit Log event changes coming in 30 days    

We will be removing the vcs_branch field from the payload column in following audit events:

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.

Upcoming to change to new user sign-up: email verification will be required    

On or shortly after August 30, 2024, all new users who sign up for CircleCI with an email/password account (the default sign-up method) will be required to verify their email immediately after CircleCI account creation.  

Server release 4.5.4    

Bug Fixes

  • SSH reruns work with GitHub Enterprise

Changes to GitLab repository selection in project creation flow of CircleCI UI

UI fixes for Bitbucket Data Center pipelines    

The “branch” and “commit” fields are now populated in the CircleCI UI for Bitbucket Data Center pipelines.

Improved error messaging for GitHub App pipelines when a config file cannot be located    

When CircleCI cannot find a config file at the configured repository + filepath, a more descriptive error message is now shown in the CircleCI UI. This is only applicable to users that integrate with CircleCI’s GitHub App.

Bitbucket Data Center integration is now in Closed Preview

Server Release 4.6.0    

This version will reach EOL in August 2025 and can be skipped when upgrading from 4.3 or 4.4. We recommend upgrading directly to 4.7 for the latest security patches.

Minor modification to GitHub App installation flow    

Users who install CircleCI’s GitHub App will now be redirected very briefly (~1 second) to a loading screen in the CircleCI UI after installing the GitHub App. Users will then be automatically redirected to continue with their setup in the CircleCI UI.

Server Release 4.3.8    

Fixes

  • Fixes an issue in 4.3.7 that prevented imagePullSecrets from compiling without secrets set.

Xcode 16 Beta 5 available

Fixes

Server Release 4.5.3    

Fixes

NOTE: The above was incorrectly included in the 4.3.6 release but was not part of that release.

Fixes

  • Fixed a broken helm template when an imagePullSecret is not set
  • Fixed self signed certificates support

Feature Deprecation Notice for "Notify" Filtering    

An experimental feature to filter notifications by branch “notify” is now deprecated. It will be removed in 30 days September 8th, 2024. Once this change is completed customers will continue to receive notifications but they will no longer be filtered by branch.

New fields being introduced to Usage API    

Three new fields will be introduced to the Usage API on August 23, 2024 to help you better understand how your builds are running. These fields are:

Fixed truncated job names on the workflow page

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

Repository search for GitLab and GitHub App is now limited to 100 entries    

In order to prevent timeouts for customers with a large number of repositories, dropdown menus for repository search for GitLab and GitHub App now limit results to 100 repositories.

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.
