DevOps Portal 1.8.2
This version was only released for customers of the Competitive Toolchain due to Gitea and XWiki improvements.
Enhancements
- Gitea is now also supported for issue-tracking and agile boards. Therefore, a new tile has been added to the home page of the DevOps Portal.
- A new tile has also been added for XWiki, which links to the sub wiki, which represents the current project in XWiki.
Improvements
- Potentially dangerous permissions granted inside XWiki sub wikis have been removed from roles maintained by DevOps Portal.
- Creating a new project in XWiki can take several minutes since all themes and extensions have to be installed into the new sub wiki. The auto provisioning code has been improved to avoid any problems with such long-running tasks.
- USER_SETTINGS_CHANGE events will no longer be recorded in the audit log, since they just talk about unimportant changes like last selected project of the current user etc.
- The max length of recorded audit log entries has been extended to also show very long messages.
Bugfixes
- The processing of an unexpected AI Engineer response has been adapted to avoid possible pending syncs when resyncing a project.
- Changing the color of page titles from black to magenta was not working in all possible cases.

DevOps Portal 1.8.0
Enhancements
- XWiki is now fully supported concerning auto provisioning in the DevOps Portal. This allows customers to use XWiki as an alternative to Confluence.
- The tools Confluence and AI Operator have now been automatically connected in all projects which use both tools. This consumes one Confluence license per project, but allows all project members to ask questions about the Confluence content in AI Operator. Therefore, a very secure solution for adding AI power to your knowledge base has been added to DevOps-as-a-Service.
- The user selection box on the projects page has been replaced by a new solution which includes a search functionality. This helps a lot, finding the correct user, esp. for instances with thousands of users. In addition, the Projects page loads now a lot faster.
- The ApacheDS LDAP server has been completely removed, as all functionality was transferred to Keycloak. All users had to update their password to transfer it from ApacheDS to Keycloak. Users which have not yet set their password can at any time use the Forgotten Password function to do so.
Improvements
- Gitea license calculation has been updated to correctly reflect implicitly created tech users for pushing and pulling.
Bugfixes
- On the Users page the width of the columns is no longer changing when scrolling through the list
