Continua CI 1.9.2 Version History

Changes

Didn't do anything for ages but heres a new release to keep you happy- enjoy!

Improvements

• The server now recovers automatically from temporary database outages, such as a SQL Server or PostgreSQL restart, without requiring a service restart. Build status updates are preserved during the outage, in-progress builds complete correctly when the database becomes available, and transient database errors are retried.
• Stopping multiple builds is now faster. The server no longer waits for an agent to finish stopping a stage; instead, the agent notifies the server when the build has stopped. A new Agent.Stopping.GracePeriod agent property controls how long the agent waits after receiving a stop request before force-terminating the remaining processes.
• The final page of the installer now includes a link to open Continua CI in your web browser.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a blank dialog appearing on the Project Variables tab of the project wizard after switching to another tab and returning.
• Fixed a redirect loop during the first run of a new mixed-mode authentication installation.
• Notification senders for Microsoft Teams and Mattermost now treat an HTTP 202 Accepted response as successful. Newer Teams Workflows (Power Automate) webhooks return HTTP 202 rather than HTTP 200.
• Fixed a race condition where a request to stop a build could occasionally be overtaken by the build or stage queue, causing the build to fail rather than stop. In rare cases, a completed or stopped build could also be reclassified as failed. The build start, stop, requeue and cancel operations now re-check the persisted build state before proceeding.

Updates

• Added property collectors for .NET runtime v8.0.28, v9.0.17, v10.0.9 and v11.0.0-preview.5; SDK v8.0.422, v9.0.315, v10.0.301 and v11.0.100-preview.5.
• Updated description for Subversion repository option 'Match branch pattern against top-level folders only' to clarify that it affects repository initialisation and does not filter or affect new changesets.

Infrastructure

• Updated some third-party packages and resolved vulnerable transitive dependencies.

Note: You will need to update your agents after upgrading the server to this build.

Note: You will need to update your agents after upgrading the server to this build.

• Fix: Duplicate changesets can no longer be added to a build while accumulating changesets. This was causing errors when stopping build.
• Fix: Workspace synchronisation has be updated to exclude direction junctions and symlinks when recursing the directory structure. This is to prevent the type of circular recursion issues found with npm directories structures.
• Fix: We are now explicitly sending a quit message when disconnecting from SMTP service after sending email notifications. This is to deal with an issue where email messages were rejected.
• Fix: A cryptographic exception with authentication cookies which occurred when upgrading from a very old version of Continua is now handled.

• Update: The accumulate changesets feature has been updated to ensure that any new changesets on the build repository branches, detected while the build is initialising or queued, are added to the build. This covers the period between build creation and the final allocation of the build changeset just before the agent selection process for the first stage. Previously, changesets detected during a forced repository check would always trigger new builds.
• Update: Added new property collectors for dotnet runtime v6.0.30, v7.0.19 and v8.0.5; sdk v6.0.422, v7.0.409 and v8.0.300.

• Fix: Issue which occurred when multiple changesets were pulled from a repository at the same time. There was long delay before the second and subsequent changesets were picked up by the trigger. Therefore, it was possible to end the quiet period before all changesets are associated with the trigger, allowing them to trigger a new build.
• Update: Added new property collectors for dotnet runtime 9.0.0-preview.3; sdk v9.0.100-preview.3.

• Update: Significantly improved performance when loading the initial list of branch head changesets for Git repositories with a large number of branches and pull requests. Note, however, that these improvements are apply to repositories which have been fully cloned. e.g. with the git blobless clone setting was set to false.
• Update: The server property Server.Git.UseBloblessClone now defaults to false. This will affect new and reset Git repositories. With blobless clone enabled, initial cloning of the git repository is faster. However, improvements to the initial listing of branch head changesets require blobless cloning to be disabled and the initialisation improvement can far surpass the cloning improvement if the repository contains many branches and pull requests.
• Update: Git repositories now have a "Blobless clone" option which can be used to individually override the default set by the server property Server.Git.UseBloblessClone.
• Update: Improvement to changeset topographical ordering performance for fully cloned Git repositories.

Update: Improvements to prevent long running web requests from blocking other requests. Update: Decrease to timeout when checking for updates. Update: Improved error handling when registering agents with server. Update: Added property collectors for new .Net Core runtime versions 3.1.17 and 5.0.8, and SDK versions 3.1.17 and 5.0.8. Fix: Git fetch commands are now dry run first to allow fetch to rerun with the same state once the error is corrected. This prevented loss of changesets after an error. Fix: Decryption issue with git credentials manager causing authentication to fail for some submodules. Fix: The Create Project permission no longer incorrectly includes View Project and Edit Project permissions. Likewise the Create Configuration permission no longer incorrectly includes View Configuration and Edit Configuration permissions. This allows these permissions to used independently of other permissions. Note this is a possible breaking change in that users which were given previously explicitly given Create Project or Create Configuration will no longer have the respective View and Edit permissions. Fix: The Configuration Administration permission is now required on a Configuration (as well as Create Configuration permission on the configuration's project) before it can be cloned. Fix: The Project Administration permission is now required on a Project (as well as global Create Project permission) before it can be cloned.

Note on Betas: Beta versions include significant changes which are still undergoing final testing before an official release. While we don't anticipate any issues running our beta versions, they have only been tested in our environment and there may be bugs that we have not yet discovered. We therefore recommend that you install a beta version on a staging server to test that it will not cause you any problems, or wait until an official release, before installing to a production server.

Should you encounter any bugs or other issues with a Beta version, please contact us via support@finalbuilder.com

New Version 1.9.2 Features

Export and Import

Administrators can now export one or more project configurations to a YAML or JSON file. This may be for backup, versioning or migration to another server. The exported files can then be imported into the same or another Continua CI server. You can choose to import over existing configurations, or to import as a new configuration. Related repositories, variables, shared resources, issue connectors and permissions can be included in the export and import process.

Requeuing Stages

Sometimes a build stage may fail due to external influences - it could be that a file server was offline, network connectivity was down, or a file was locked for access. The last stage of a completed build can now be requeued, providing that it has failed, stopped or errored, and the server workspace is intact and no files have been removed by the cleanup process.

Multiple Daily Cleanup Rules

The build cleanup functionality has been rewritten to allow individual build by-products to have different shelf lifes. Multiple cleanup rules can now be defined at each level. This allows you to, for example, clean up workspace files for a build several days before the build is removed from the build history in the database. Agent workspace files can now also be included as part of the daily clean up rules.

This version also builds upon all the fixes and improvements in version 1.9.1. Any further bug fixes and improvements on version 1.9.1 will be merged into version 1.9.2

See Introducing Continua CI Version 1.9.2 Beta for further details on the new features.
