Blue Ocean Dev Log: February Week #4
We’re counting down the weeks until Blue Ocean 1.0. In all the excitement I forgot to post a dev log last week, so I will make up for it this week.
In the last 10 days, 2 betas went out: b22 and b23, and a preview release of the editor. We expect the next release will be named a release candidate (we know there is still more to go in, but want to signal that things are getting into the final stages!). The link:https://app.gitter.im/#/room/#jenkinsci_blueocean-Gitter chat room is getting busier, so join in!
Also last week, the Blue Ocean Pipeline Editor was presented at the Jenkins Online Meetup, embedded below.
Feature Highlights
-
You can now create Pipelines from GitHub in Blue Ocean. Either one Pipeline at a time, or let it discover all your Pipelines for a GitHub Organization.
-
When you press the "Create" button, it will open the new creation flow by default now; the feature was previously hidden behind a feature switch.
-
You can filter the activity screen by branch! That way you can see a history of Pipeline runs for just one branch.
-
If you like long names for stages - it now won’t pollute the screen when space is at a premium (truncated names on screen).
-
Blue Ocean events (SSE) should now work on Microsoft Edge again
-
You can see durations when you hover the mouse over indicators
Up next:
-
A release candidate is expected soon
-
Integration work with the Editor to save to branches
-
Some updates to the design around tables
-
Bundling of the Editor with Blue Ocean
Don’t forget, there is also a Blue Ocean Docker image published weekly with usually the latest released version. If you have Docker installed, this can be as simple as:
docker run -p 8080:8080 jenkinsci/blueocean*Then browse to localhost:8080/blue - possibly the quickest way to try things.
Enjoy!
