Release Notes: April 2024

Release Notes for Codefresh Pipelines and GitOps

Features & enhancements

General: More power to Global Search & Navigation

We’re excited to announce major enhancements powering our Global Search & Navigation:

• Actions through Search
  Execute actions using search or keyboard shortcuts:
  • Run a pipeline: Search to navigate to a specific pipeline, and then use the R and N shortcut keys to trigger that pipeline.
  • Refresh an application: Search for the application you need, and then use the R and F shortcut keys to instantly refresh the application.
  • Sync an application: Within an application, use the S and Y shortcut keys to open the sync dialog.
• Quick navigation
  • Integrated link to app-proxy logs
    We’ve introduced App-proxy logs as a new navigation item. You can now type App-proxy logs to access a list of GitOps Runtimes. From there, simply select a Runtime to view its app-proxy logs in the online terminal.
  • GitOps Runtimes for admins
    Type GitOps Runtimes and click to go directly to the GitOps Runtimes page.
  • GitOps Permissions for admins
    Type GitOps Permissions and click to go directly to the Permissions page.

Pipelines: Explore build relationships with Build Tree

Introducing Build Tree for easy rendering of relationships between pipeline builds! Seamlessly visualize complex parent-child-sibling relationships within the context of your selected build, simplifying pipeline monitoring and management.

In addition to the effortless visualization, other key benefits include:

• The selected build as an anchor reference point to linked builds, indicated by the Current tag assigned to it.
• Updated status for every build, with failed steps listed for quick alerting.
• Quick access to essential actions without navigating away from the Build Tree, through the build’s context menu.
• Single-click access to the individual build view for detailed insights.

For details, see Visualize build relationships for pipelines.

Pipelines: Monthly credit consumption usage by pipelines

We added a Usage per month table below the Credit Consumption chart.
This table provides build and credit consumption metrics by pipelines for the selected month.

Pipelines: More Pull Request events support for GitHub

Our integration with GitHub events is now even stronger with the addition of more types of pull request (PR) event triggers.

You can now trigger builds for the following PR events:

• Pull request review approved
• Pull request review changes requested
• Pull request review commented

For details, see Git triggers for pipelines.

Usability: Entity names set to lowercase in breadcrumbs

A small but significant usability improvement, entity names are now consistently displayed in lowercase within the breadcrumbs.
