Changelog

An experimental feature to filter notifications by branch “notify” is now deprecated. It will be removed in 30 days September 8th, 2024. Once this change is completed customers will continue to receive notifications but they will no longer be filtered by branch.

No action is required The non-functional config code will not cause compilation errors. We do recommend removing the code from your config.

Example

experimental:
  notify:
    branches:
      only:
        - deployed
        - master

What’s New

On February 15, 2022, the Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 Linux VM images used with our machine executor were deprecated, meaning there will be no new releases or support for these images moving forward. When these images reach end of life (EOL) on May 31, 2022, any pipelines that utilize Ubuntu 14.04 or 16.04 images will fail.

In order to prevent unexpected failures and enable you to begin moving to newer images, CircleCI’s Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 Linux virtual machine (VM) images will be temporarily unavailable in late March 2022 and late April 2022, and will become permanently unavailable as of May 31, 2022. During these temporary “brown-out” periods, if you are currently using either of these images, be sure to update your config with a newer Ubuntu machine image before the 14.04 and 16.04 images are removed at the end of May 2022.

For more information about how CircleCI will manage these updates, please see the Deprecating Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 blog post.

What’s New

CircleCI will be deprecating all legacy convenience images on December 31, 2021 and moving to supporting only next-gen convenience images. This change is being made to better serve our customers, while ensuring that these next-gen convenience images are consistently reliable. The next-gen CircleCI convenience images are designed from the ground up for an execution environment, and designed to be faster, more efficient, and most importantly, more reliable.
