New Job Type "No-Op" Job Can Make Complex Workflows Simple    

There is a new “no-op” type of job available to customers, which does nothing. This is useful in some cases to shape complex workflows and simplify dependency relationships when there are large fan-in/fan-out scenarios.

More Flexible Job Required Capabilities     

Customers have been asking for more flexibility when building out dependency requirements between jobs. To date “requires” was based on the success of the required job. That is no longer the case. “Requires” now support job status; success, failed, and cancelled. So you can now build out complex dependency maps and fan in/out scenarios.

Improvement to triggers list    

The triggers table in the page Project Settings > Triggers previously listed triggers by “Trigger Name”, now they are listed by “Trigger source”. This column shows:

  • For Custom Webhooks, the user-defined “trigger source” that was defined on trigger creation

Add error message when "Authorize" fails in GitHub App pipeline and trigger creation    

When attempting to create a GitHub App pipeline or trigger, clicking on the “Authorize” button fails if the user’s GitHub account is already connected to a different CircleCI account. Until now, no error message was shown when this happened, making it difficult to troubleshoot the issue. We now surface an error message when this situation occurs.

While for now this message instructs users to “contact support”, in the future we plan to provide a self-serve solution to this problem.
