5.75. Release Notes for Buildbot 0.8.11
The following are the release notes for Buildbot 0.8.11. This version was released on the 20th of April, 2015.
5.75.1. Master
Requirements:
Buildbot works python-dateutil >= 1.5
5.75.1.1. Features
GitHub change hook now supports application/json format.
Buildbot is now compatible with Gerrit v2.6 and higher.
To make this happen, the return result of
reviewCB
andsummaryCB
callback has changed from(message, verified, review)
to
{'message': message, 'labels': {'label-name': value, ... } }
The implications are:
there are some differences in behaviour: only those labels that were provided will be updated
Gerrit server must be able to provide a version, if it can’t the
GerritStatusPush
will not work
Note
If you have an old style
reviewCB
and/orsummaryCB
implemented, these will still work, however there could be more labels updated than anticipated.More detailed information is available in
GerritStatusPush
section.Buildbot now supports plugins. They allow Buildbot to be extended by using components distributed independently from the main code. They also provide for a unified way to access all components. When previously the following construction was used:
from buildbot.kind.other.bits import ComponentClass ... ComponentClass ...
the following construction achieves the same result:
from buildbot.plugins import kind ... kind.ComponentClass ...
Kinds of components that are available this way are described in Plugin Infrastructure in Buildbot.
Note
While the components can be still directly imported as
buildbot.kind.other.bits
, this might not be the case after Buildbot v1.0 is released.GitPoller
now supports detecting new branchesMasterShellCommand
now renders thepath
argument.ShellMixin
: theworkdir
can now be overridden in the call tomakeRemoteShellCommand
.GitHub status target now allows to specify a different base URL for the API (usefule for GitHub enterprise installations). This feature requires txgithub of version 0.2.0 or better.
GitHub change hook now supports payload validation using shared secret, see the GitHub hook documentation for details.
Added StashStatusPush status hook for Atlassian Stash
Builders can now have multiple “tags” associated with them. Tags can be used in various status classes as filters (eg, on the waterfall page).
MailNotifier
no longer forces SSL 3.0 whenuseTls
is true.GitHub change hook now supports function as codebase argument.
GitHub change hook now supports pull_request events.
Trigger
: thegetSchedulersAndProperties
customization method has been backported from Nine. This provides a way to dynamically specify which schedulers (and the properties for that scheduler) to trigger at runtime.
5.75.1.2. Fixes
GitHub change hook now correctly responds to ping events.
buildbot.steps.http
steps now correctly haveurl
parameter renderableMasterShellCommand
now correctly logs the working directory where it was run.With Git(), force the updating submodules to ensure local changes by the build are overwritten. This both ensures more consistent builds and avoids errors when updating submodules.
With Git(), make sure ‘git submodule sync’ is called before ‘git submodule update’ to update stale remote urls (bug #2155).
5.75.1.3. Deprecations, Removals, and Non-Compatible Changes
The builder parameter “category” is deprecated and is replaced by a parameter called “tags”.
5.75.1.4. Changes for Developers
Trigger
:createTriggerProperties
now takes one argument (the properties to generate).Trigger
:getSchedulers
method is no longer used and was removed.
