Blue Ocean Dev Log: March Week #2
We’re counting down the weeks until Blue Ocean 1.0. This week was one of continuing consolidation and polish. We also released b25 (beta #25), a collectors edition. The next version we will likely release will be a release candidate (RC). The b25 release however contained a number of fixes and features, such as branch filtering.
Some other updates of note from this past week:
-
Updated a bunch of dependencies around Pipeline and fixed a whole lot of long standing bugs.
-
Some work went on to make acceptance tests run on varied browsers via Sauce Labs thanks to @halkeye!
-
The Blue Ocean Pipeline Editor had its Save to SCM/GitHub functionality merged to master branch. It won’t be released to the Update Center until the next Blue Ocean release, there are a few more things to iron out.
-
As the Blue Ocean Pipeline Editor is now considered to be part of Blue Ocean now, more people are kicking the tires, and starting to contribute fixes to improve it!
-
The swishy "Blue Ocean" logo is gone, Jenkins branding is back (mixed feelings!)
-
Fixes for concurrent users of input
-
Fixes for handling errors around favoriting of Pipelines and more.
-
Speeding up creation of Multibranch Pipelines via the new "Creation" flow.
And of course, a nice pretty screenshot of editing and saving a Multibranch Pipeline with the Blue Ocean Pipeline Editor:
Up next for the Blue Ocean project:
-
More consolidation and polish.
-
A first release candidate out the door (!)
-
New, sleeker, favorite card design, possibly a table design too.
Also note that there are changelogs maintained and visible on the Blue Ocean plugin page.
Enjoy!
