4.4.8. Release Notes for Buildbot 0.9.0b6

The following are the release notes for Buildbot 0.9.0b6 This version was released on January 20, 2016.

See Upgrading to Nine for a guide to upgrading from 0.8.x to 0.9.x

4.4.8.1. Master

Features

  • Builders ui page has improved tag filtering capabilities
  • Home page enhanced with the list of recent builds sorted by builder
  • IRC reporter has been partially ported to work on data api.

Fixes

  • better stability and reliability in the UI thanks to switch to buildbot data-module
  • fix irc

Changes for Developers

  • properties object is now directly present in build, and not in build_status. This should not change much unless you try to access your properties via step.build.build_status. Remember that with PropertiesMixin, you can access properties via getProperties on the steps, and on the builds objects.
  • Javascript Data Module is now integrated, which sets a definitive API for accessing buildbot data in angularJS UI.

4.4.8.2. Slave

Features

  • The DockerLatentBuildSlave image attribute is now renderable (can take properties in account).
  • The DockerLatentBuildSlave sets environment variables describing how to connect to the master. Example dockerfiles can be found in master/contrib/docker.
