12.5 Kickoff - Release

Walkthrough of the issues planned for 12.5 for Release

A

Hi, my name is Rico the Winsky and I'm the product manager for the release stage at gait lab today. I want to walk through what we're going to be delivering in release 12.5.

A

So, as you can see, we have a little bit of leftovers from the previous release. Allow for quite wise to run an apparent project is one of them.

A

For this issue, we're going to add, extended support to allow for pipelines to run an apparent project, and basically this will allow projects that are not the parent, not part of that project to run anyway.

A

It is important to also note that, at this faith, no secret variables are going to be used by the forks project, but anything in the pipeline can run.

A

Next is another issue that we're very excited about in 12.4, we release new capabilities for the release stage and what we're adding here is the ability to actually capture these actions in an audit log.

A

So at the moment the action that's recorded is downloading artifacts, but we're going to also add logging for editing the release and associating milestones to release, which was also a new feature delivered in 12.4.

A

Next, we have the ability to associate feature flag with contextual issue. It's a leftover from 12.4.

A

Basically, what this lets you do is associate an issue with a feature flag and that will give you the visibility into the feature flag status directly from the issue and vice versa.

A

Next, we have provided mechanism to clean up stale environments, and this is a really really cool feature that we're going to be delivering that actually allows you to clean up environments, which has been a pain point for a lot of our customers and also internally, to clean up review apps and what we're going to be offering is actually capability to mass delete unneeded environments. So you can select all environments that don't have an active deployment at the moment and just delete them and also inactive deployments. So these are stale environments.

A

So a very cool feature that we're very excited about.

A

Another great feature that we're going to be adding in 12.5 is the ability to create a release from within the get lab, CI Yama itself, and this will automatically generate a new release.

A

Up next, we have the ability to delete an environment via the UI, so also addressing a pain point of lots of our customers, of just being able to delete environments, and you can see here the UI and look more into the issue. It's number 206 to 0 and.

A

Just providing a button to delete the environment itself.

A

In 12.5, our very awesome mystic that we're going to be able to deliver this project environment dashboard we've had a lot of progress on it. It's actually a new slick. Look to see everything regarding your environments, their status. The last time it was deployed to etc, really really need the dashboard that will help everyone from developers to release managers to DevOps engineers understand what's going on in in their different environments, a cool feature and yeah I hope you enjoy this release.

A
