Changelog

Users who install CircleCI’s GitHub App will now be redirected very briefly (~1 second) to a loading screen in the CircleCI UI after installing the GitHub App. Users will then be automatically redirected to continue with their setup in the CircleCI UI.

Fixes

• Fixes an issue in 4.3.7 that prevented imagePullSecrets from compiling without secrets set.

The Xcode 16 Beta 5 image is now available to be used in CircleCI pipelines.

Fixes

• Fixed a broken helm template when an imagePullSecret is not set
• Fixed self signed certificates support

Fixes

• Fixed broken rerun with ssh
• Fixed broken self-signed cert support
• Added support for adding an empty array for imagePullSecrets

What’s New

• Added support for absolute paths in defining a GCP network under the machine provisioner configuration. This feature is particularly useful for VM jobs using shared networks, enabling explicit network selection. This corrects a regression from the previous VM service architecture.

NOTE: The above was incorrectly included in the 4.3.6 release but was not part of that release.

Fixes

• Fixed a broken helm template when an imagePullSecret is not set
• Fixed self signed certificates support

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.

Three new fields will be introduced to the Usage API on August 23, 2024 to help you better understand how your builds are running. These fields are:

Job names greater than 10 characters were previously truncated on the workflows page. We’ve resolved this issue by increasing the box height to display the full job name.

What’s changed?

• Authenticated users are now redirected from /server-login to the app subdomain’s dashboard.
• Users who require admin approval before logging in will now see an error message on the login screen.
• Improved error handling when retrieving pipeline values from GCS
• Default resource class can now be set via Repl.
• Project-based context restrictions now populate the project list.
• ~Improved k8s runner start up times. Task agent will now be initialized via init image rather than waiting to copy over the agent after the task pod has started.~

Update: Aug 12, 2024. We discovered that the init container changes were not included in this release and have updated the change log.

In order to prevent timeouts for customers with a large number of repositories, dropdown menus for repository search for GitLab and GitHub App now limit results to 100 repositories.

We have made changes to the infrastructure that hosts CircleCI’s documentation in response to reports of slow loading & intermittent usability issues.

For users integrating with Gitlab, clicking on the commit hash on the job page now correctly redirects to the Gitlab page showing detailed information on that specific commit, rather than a page listing a history of commits.

The timeout threshold for CircleCI’s outbound webhooks functionality has been increased from 5 seconds to 10 seconds.

The Xcode 16 Beta 4 image is now available to be used in CircleCI pipelines.

A new range of IPs has been added to CircleCI’s macOS Cloud. This range will go into rotation starting August 5th. Review the latest IP ranges for macOS.

There is no longer an optional step to connect your VCS when accepting an invitation to a CircleCI organization that integrates with GitLab or GitHub App

When creating a new Inbound Webhook trigger, CircleCI automatically creates a GitHub App configuration source to be used by the trigger. With this fix, the config source is automatically created when saving the trigger, rather than when entering the creation flow.

Users visiting the Releases UI for the first time can now explore our Product Tour, which highlights the various features and value of CircleCI Releases. It also includes a demo video to walk users through different use cases that can be solved using Releases.

Admins must now opt in their organization to use the experimental intelligent error summaries. Enable this experiment in the Advanced section of Organization Settings.

When one organization shares a plan with another organization, the plan tier of the parent organization is shown on the User Homepage (/home) of the CircleCI web app. Previously, this showed Free.

The “User Homepage” of the CircleCI web app now has a smoother transition when a user clicks on a card.

On certain pages of the CircleCI web app, the organization ID was shown in the title of the page in the browser instead of the actual title of the page. This has been fixed.

The “project cards” on the “Organization Home” of the CircleCI web app now say “< 1 minute ago” instead of “less than one minute ago” to avoid wrapping onto the second line of the card.

Download the latest version here. This release includes minor maintenance improvements.

Users will now see a message in the CircleCI web app requesting that they submit a form if they have been marked as suspended for suspected abuse in order to have the suspension removed.

If a user is not logged in to CircleCI but is attempting to view something in the CircleCI web app, the left-hand navigation’s text is now readable. It was previously using a font color that made it unreadable.

The “Notification Center” in the top right corner of the CircleCI web app no longer lets a user click the “Dismiss All” option if there are no notifications to dismiss.

When a user clicked “Go back” from the flow to create a project with CircleCI’s GitHub App or GitLab integrations, the web app would not redirect the user back to the previous page that they were on. This has now been fixed.

The “Create Project” button in the CircleCI web app has been updated to look the same in every occurence of the button for consistency.

The “Organization Homepage” in the CircleCI web app now shows all projects for organizations that use CircleCI’s GitHub App or GitLab integrations instead of only showing projects that have been followed.
