Important Changes​

  • Dashboards now can only be edited by administrator and owner

  • The cloud profile API has been changed, and you should change your custom cloud profile plugin in below areas:

    1. Your plugin class should override method getSettingIndependentExtensions to use below implementation:

      return getExtensions();

    2. UserDataRetriever is removed, and the logic there should be moved into method getNodeLaunchData of the class implementing the extension point NodeCloud

    3. NodeLauncher.launchNode now expects to return object LaunchResult instead of a string. To construct this object, first param is launch id as previous, the second param indicates ip address to be used by agent to communicate with server, the third param is agent port, and the last param indicates whether or not the agent is protected with SSL. Use null for agent ip and SSL param if you are not sure.

  • Property password of Perforce repository is replaced with credential . If you have script to get perforce password as below:

    repositories.get("p4").password

    You should change it as:

    repositories.get("p4").credential.password
