Pipelines page performance improvements    

The pipelines page can load slowly for some users. The number of pipelines and number of projects can contribute to that slowness. A recent change to one of the underlying data services has been made resulting in a 30%-40% improvement in performance.

Cancel approval jobs    

We have added an API and UI component to approval jobs that allows you to “cancel” the approval job. Previously it was not possible to cancel approval jobs. This limitation forced you to either approve the job or let it expire, which takes 90 days. This led to a suboptimal experience with jobs left in a non-terminal state. This could impact performance metrics, as well pipelines views. It also led to non-intuitive actions being taken like cancelling the workflow which cancels all remaining jobs.

Config compilation change: Don't process workflows that won't be run

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.
