PSA (Privacy and Security Assessment) Compliance

• Read-only root file-systems are now used inside containers to improve operational security.

Improvements

• All Bitbucket git repositories have webhooks that notify Jenkins about new branches and commits. These webhooks had been readded using the new internal URL of Jenkins when the Rancher 2 migration was done. Now the webhooks with the old internal URL of Jenkins have been automatically deleted.
• Improved internal source code quality.

Bugfixes

• Unfortunately, the notification emails sent out concerning password expiration could contain the same time period that was written in a previous email. This was due to some unwanted caching effect and has been solved now.

Known Issues

• Unfortunately, the links to Agile Board and Backlog in the Jira tile of the DevOps Portal homepage do not work properly for users which have more than one project. In fact, the links will lead to the last visited agile board on Jira, independent to the project selection on the homepage of the DevOps Portal. This is caused by the fact, that agile boards are not part of a Jira project, but instead are independent entities. We are striving to find a solution for the problem in a future version.

Improvements

Improvements

• Since LOCKED users cannot reset their passwords, the notification emails about expired passwords which are sent on every Monday and Thursday morning are now only sent to ACTIVE users. In addition, when a user is unlocked, he or she is instantly informed by an email, if the password has expired and needs to be reset. Please note that users cannot log in with expired passwords. They need to reset them before using the forgotten password option on the login page.
• Updates of used software frameworks and libraries.
• The view button for pending syncs has been removed, since by clicking on the ID it can be already easily viewed.
• The success messages for bulk role assignments and unassignments has been improved to give more details about performed or skipped operations.
• For freshly retired projects, the selection box is now immediately disabled.

Bugfixes

• The project page wasn't properly working if the user selected for role assignment was deleted in the meantime. This has now been fixed.
• When a lot of success/error message were displayed on a page it could happen, that a message was hidden below the table header. Now the messages are always the topmost element.
