What’s New in Release 2.18.03

Features

Following our release of Windows support on the hosted offering of CircleCI, running VM-based jobs in Windows environments is now supported on CircleCI Server instances running in AWS.

The version of Windows currently supported is Windows Server 2019. Check out the Customizing VM Service Images doc for the details of how to build your own custom Windows Server 2019 image, and then follow the Server examples in the Getting Started with Windows doc for instructions on how to set up a Windows job on your CircleCI Server installation.

Deprecation

• Server-Mongo-Upgrader will be removed in Server 2.19.0. Only effects customers running < 2.15.0.

We have released patches to our AMIs and other infrastructure to address CVE-2016-8655. We recommend all CircleCI Enterprise installations follow the instructions below to update both their Services box and their Builder fleet.

If you have any questions or difficulties please contact enterprise-support@circleci.com.

Update the Services box:

1. As always, ensure your data is backed up.
2. Shut down CircleCI in the Replicated console (or via the CLI).
3. Update the kernel using the provided install_kernel_master function below.
4. Restart the machine.

#!/bin/bash
function install_kernel_master() {
    echo '>>> Installing Kernel'
    apt-get update
    apt-get install linux-image-3.13.0-105-generic linux-headers-3.13.0-105-generic linux-image-extra-3.13.0-105-generic
    apt-cache policy linux-image-3.13.0-105-generic linux-headers-3.13.0-105-generic linux-image-extra-3.13.0-105-generic
}

Update the Builder fleet:

For the builder fleet, update the Launch Configuration to use the updated AMI from the list below:

• ap-northeast-1 = “ami-07f09d60”
• ap-northeast-2 = “ami-90588ffe”
• ap-southeast-1 = “ami-4f54f82c”
• ap-southeast-2 = “ami-040c3467”
• eu-central-1 = “ami-3465a35b”
• eu-west-1 = “ami-d70421a4”
• sa-east-1 = “ami-2e6bf242”
• us-east-1 = “ami-e68f89f1”
• us-west-1 = “ami-901c4af0”
• us-west-2 = “ami-0c57fc6c”

If you are using our Terraform scripts, you can download the new script https://github.com/circleci/enterprise-setup/blob/master/circleci.tf and run terraform apply. We’ve already updated the scripts to include the new AMIs, so terraform should launch new builders automatically with the patched version, and cycle your fleet.

If you are using a non-AWS environment, use the same method to patch your builders you used to patch the Services box.

If any of the above does not apply to your environment, or you encounter issues with your upgrades please contact: enterprise-support@circleci.com.

New Feature: The maximum size of files that you can upload for caching during builds has been fixed to 5G. The size is now bumped 20G by default on CircleCI Enterprise and customers can also override the default value to even larger size.

To override the default value, you need to run the following in a REPL of Service Box.

(settings/set {:max-file-cache-bytes <max-size-by-bytes>})

To unset the overridden value and use default, run the following.

(settings/unset! [:max-file-cache-bytes])
