With only a couple of months left beforeBlue Ocean 1.0, which is planned for the end of March, I havebeenhighlighting some of the good work being finished up by the developers hacking on Blue Ocean.
This week was a grab bag of important behind-the-scenes features and finalising the preview of the editor. The merge of the SCM API changes also made it in. The editor has the new sheets style of editing (there will be blogs and more on this in the next few weeks):
Some highlights:
Fix to async loading of resources like translations, so screens don’t "flash" when they are loaded (i18n improvement)
Links in notifications can be configured to point to classic or Blue Ocean screens
Time reporting works better when browser clock is out of sync with server
SECURITY-380 was backported into a small fix for those that aren’t running the latest LTS (but you should ideally be running it)
SCM API changes finally landed - this will be in beta 22 which should hit the update centers soon. This should make things work better with GitHub rate limits.
Beta 21 was released
The editor reached "preview" release state ready for use with the newly announced Declarative Pipeline stuff.
Also, a reference to Australian pop culture had to be removed, sadly.
Up Next:
Some cosmetic changes around headers to make it much nicer and clearer
Favorite improvements
GitHub Org-based Pipeline creation
Editor available in the general update center
Beta 22 with SCM improvements and no more GitHub rate limit hassles
Many fixes
Improvements to the Acceptance Test Harness to reduce the number of false-positives.
Enjoy!
