Concourse v5.2.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-05-16 // almost 5 years ago

  • 🍱 🔗 feature, breaking

    👀 @ralekseenkov has implemented generic credential caching for all credential managers!

    This replaces the Vault-only caching functionality. To transition, you'll need to update the following flags.

    --vault-cache is now --secret-cache-enabled

    --vault-max-lease is now --secret-cache-duration

    As part of this change, credential managers now implement a simpler interface that will make it easier to look-up secrets in multiple paths.

    👀 For more information, see Credential Management.

    To follow along with future planned improvements to credential management, check out concourse/rfcs#21.

    🍱 🔗 fix, breaking

    • 🏗 @stigtermichiel changed the short-flag for fly builds --team from -t from -n to make it consistent across fly. Consistency is key.

    🍱 🔗 feature

    🍱 🔗 feature

    🔧 The web node can now be configured to enable audit logs, thanks to a PR by @loghen41!

    🔊 Auditing currently logs API calls to the default logger using flags to enable specific auditing groups.

    🍱 🔗 feature

    🚚 Like a phoenix from the ashes, the pipeline navigation sidebar has made its triumphant return. It was initially removed to focus our efforts on the dashboard as a navigation flow. We have concluded that one click is better than two.

    🚀 Expect more design/UX polish in future releases!

    🍱 🔗 feature

    @itsdalmo has introduced a new in_parallel step which can run steps in parallel with more control via additional config: limit which will limit the number of parallel steps, and fail_fast which will interrupt currently running steps and prevent scheduling pending steps.

    🗄 This sounds a lot like the aggregate step, only better in every way (e.g. it doesn't have a stupid name), so fly set-pipeline will now issue deprecation warnings for aggregate: usage.

    🍱 🔗 feature

    • ➕ Added a tooltip to the pause toggle on the dashboard page and the pipeline page explaining why it might be disabled.

    🍱 🔗 feature

    • 🏗 @hprotzek added the ability to retain build logs for a specific time duration and/or build count. See build_log_retention for more details.

    🔒 🔗 security

    • 0️⃣ We have restricted the SSH MAC algorithms used by the web node to a more secure set, overriding the Go defaults which allow weaker algorithms.

    🍱 🔗 feature

    • 👍 Concourse is now compatible with Credhub v2.x (except for 2.1 due to a bug)! CredHub v1.9.x is still supported, too.

    🍱 🔗 feature

    • ➕ Added ability set a name for the Concourse cluster which will be displayed on the dashboard page by setting cluster-name flag.

    🍱 🔗 feature

    • @cappyzawa added a new get-team subcommand to fly. It allows you to retrieve a single team's config.

    🍱 🔗 feature

    • 👷 @rkoster added a new flag --external-garden-url to allow use of a separately-managed Garden server as a worker.

    🍱 🔗 feature

    • @pivotal-kahin-ng added a way of retaining the build history of a job when renaming it, by updating the job name and specifying its old name as old_name. After the pipeline has been configured, the old_name field can be removed.

    🍱 🔗 fix

    • 0️⃣ We reduced the default concurrency settings for volume sweeping from 5 to 3 as a way of reducing the stress that volume deletion ends up putting on the system in some cases.

    🍱 🔗 fix

    • 🛠 @edtan fixed a panic caused by running concourse web without a --session-signing-key.

    🍱 🔗 fix

    👍 The Concourse API now returns 401 Unauthorized when an expired/invalid token is used to access an endpoint which supports authenticated/unauthenticated views.

    Previously it would just return a 200 response with less data, as if you weren't logged in, which made the behavior somewhat ambiguous and made auto-relogin logic difficult to implement consistently.

    🍱 🔗 fix

    • 🛠 Fixed a bug with Dex CloudFoundry connector when the user is a member of many teams. Thanks to @daniellavoie!

    🍱 🔗 fix

    • 🛠 Fixed a bug where the user gets a "You are not authorized to view the details of this pipeline" while watching a build.

    🍱 🔗 fix

    🛠 Fixed a bug where aborting a started build prior to a web node re-attaching to it would result in an orphaned, still running, uncompleted build.

    🔨 Along the way, the general 'aborting' flow has been refactored and should fix up any oddities caused by aborting builds at...inopportune moments.

    🍱 🔗 fix

    • ⚠ fly prune-worker --all-stalled has been fixed to only return a warning if no stalled workers are found, instead of an error.

    🍱 🔗 fix

    • 👷 concourse quickstart has been fixed to ignore the --worker-tsa-worker-private-key flag.

    🍱 🔗 fix

    🍱 🔗 fix

    • Multiple groups in the same pipeline can no longer use the same name. An error is now raised if attempted.

    🍱 🔗 fix

    • 🛠 Fixed a bug where fly execute --input would hang indefinitely after uploading the input directory as a consequence of the web node stopping.
