+{panel:title=Important Changes|titleBGColor=#FFEEEE|bgColor=#FFFFFF}
+* 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:
+*# Your plugin class should override method _getSettingIndependentExtensions_ to use below implementation:
+{code}
+return getExtensions();
+{code}
+*# _UserDataRetriever_ is removed, and the logic there should be moved into method _getNodeLaunchData_ of the class implementing the extension point _NodeCloud_
+*# 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.
-h2. Bug Fixes
-* Fix the issue that build version in dashboard and rest api is not consistent with build overview page if build version is changed in the middle of build
-* Fix the issue that artifact can not be downloaded if its path contains "#"
-* Fix the issue that javadoc does not contain many steps and repositories
-* Fix the issue that node assignment rule specifying build agents requiring nodes to be online
+* Property _password_ of Perforce repository is replaced with _credential_. If you have script to get perforce password as below:
+{code}
+repositories.get("p4").password
+{code}
+You should change it as:
+{code}
+repositories.get("p4").credential.password
+{code}
-{panel:title=Important|titleBGColor=#FFEEEE|bgColor=#FFFFFF}
-* Publish directory of new build will be stored into a sub directory using last three digits of build id to avoid too many files issue. Old builds still remains in old place and can be recognized by QuickBuild. If you need to get path to build publish directory, please call build.getPublishDir() as it handles the change transparently
-* Bean editor annotation _@FileInput_ now populates related field with below format instead of a single file name:
-{code}<original upload file name>/<Base64 encoding of upload file content>{code}
-This only affects users using the annotation @FileInput while writing their QuickBuild plugins
