Changelog

Before Upgrading

See the CircleCI server 4.1 release notes for upgrade notes for this release.

When upgrading from server v3.x you will need to install v4.0 before installing this version.

What’s New in Release 4.1.3

Fixes

• Query parameters are now supported on the task-agent download endpoint.

Known Issues

• Vault may not refresh its client token after a month of uptime.
• Retry with SSH for jobs using the machine executor advertises a private IP address. For this reason, retry with SSH for jobs using the machine executor works as standard for public installations, but for private installs you would need to ensure that you can access the private IP advertised. For example, by using a VPN into your VPC.
• CircleCI 1.0 builds are not supported. If an attempt is made to run a 1.0 build, no feedback will be available in the application to indicate the cause of the issue. If a build is run on your installation and does not show up in the CircleCI application, users should be directed to use the CircleCI CLI to validate the project configuration and get details of the possible cause of the issue.

To learn more about Server 4.1 installation, migration, or operations please see our documentation.

What’s New in Release 3.4.7

Fixes

• When using CircleCI runner, a repository can now be directly cloned with the checkout step in .circleci/config.yml.

Known Issues

• webhook-service is not operational when Vault is externalized.
• Vault may not refresh its client token after a month of uptime.
• Before upgrading to v3.4.x, delete the deployment named circleci-server-kube-state-metrics.
• Prometheus is broken in KOTS versions 1.65.0 - 1.67.0. If you rely on this feature, do not upgrade your KOTS version until this issue has been resolved.
• Retry with SSH for jobs using the machine executor advertises a private IP address. For this reason, retry with SSH for jobs using the machine executor works as standard for private installations, but for public installations you would need to ensure that you can access the private IP advertised (for example, by using a VPN into your VPC).
• CircleCI 1.0 builds are not supported. If an attempt is made to run a 1.0 build, no feedback will be available in the application to indicate the cause of the issue. If a build is run on your installation and does not show up in the CircleCI application, users should be directed to use the CircleCI CLI to validate the project configuration and get details of the possible cause of the issue.
• The KOTS admin console cannot be upgraded if your installation is set up to be behind a proxy. The proxy settings will be deleted and cause the KOTS admin console to break.

What’s new in release 4.0.4

Changes

• We have updated our PostgreSQL password requirements to allow special characters (except single or double quotes) in addition to alphanumeric characters.

Fixes

• For runner installations on server, you can now directly clone a repository with just the checkout step in .circleci/config.yml.

Known issues

• When migrating from 3.x to 4.x, workflow configuration migrations will run as an init job and the workflows-conductor-event-consumer and the workflows-conductor-grpc-handler pods will not start until the migration completes. Customers with large PostgreSQL databases should plan accordingly. Migration time can be reduced by scaling the workflow-conductor pods.
• Vault may not refresh its client token after a month of uptime.
• Retry with SSH for jobs using the machine executor advertises a private IP address. For this reason, retry with SSH for jobs using the machine executor works as standard for public installations, but for private installs you would need to ensure that you can access the private IP advertised.
