• First successful use of Jenkins telemetry

  Half a year ago we delivered a security fix for Jenkins that had the potential to break the entire Jenkins UI.

In the six months since, we didn’t receive notable reports of problems resulting from this change,...

• Remoting-based CLI removed from Jenkins

  Close to two years ago, we announced in New, safer CLI in 2.54 that the traditional “Remoting” operation mode of the Jenkins command-line interface was being deprecated for a variety of reasons, especially its very poor security record. Today in Jenkins 2.165 support for this mode is finally being removed altogether, in both the server and bundled jenkins-cli.jar client. The projected June 5th LTS release will...

• Jenkins new year in China

  At the time of the Spring Festival. I want to make a summary of some activities in the last year. You might already notice that more and more Chinese contributors emerge in the Jenkins community.

• Improving Jenkins Release Quality using Uplink Telemetry

  One of the major strengths of Jenkins is its customizability and extensibility. With its plugin ecosystem and long list of (possibly hidden) options, Jenkins can be used for a wide range of use cases. The downside of all this flexibility is that, not knowing how people use Jenkins, we mostly rely on issues filed in our bug tracker to know when things...
