5.99.1.3. 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.

  • 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 https://github.com/buildbot/buildbot-contrib/tree/master/master/contrib/docker.
