Thank you for an amazing 2016

I do not think it is an exaggeration to say: 2016 was the best year yet for the Jenkins project. Since the first commit in 2006, the project has reached a number of significant milestones in its ten years but we have never experienced the breadth of major milestones in such a short amount of time. From Jenkins 2 and Blue Ocean to the Google Summer of Code and Jenkins...

New packages for Jenkins 2.7.1

We created new native packages for Jenkins 2.7.1 today. These replace the existing packages. Due to a release process issue, the packaging (RPM, etc.) was created the same way as Jenkins 1.x LTS, resulting in problems starting Jenkins on some platforms: While we dropped support for AJP in Jenkins 2.0, some 1.x packages had it enabled by default, resulting in...

Jenkins 2 hits LTS

It’s been almost three months since we’ve released Jenkins 2.0, the first ever major version upgrade for this 10 year old project. The 2.x versions since then has been adopted by more than 20% of the users, but one segment of users who haven’t seen the benefits of Jenkins 2 is those who has been running LTS releases. But that is...

Jenkins 2.0 is here!

Over the past 10 years, Jenkins has really grown to a de-facto standard tool that millions of people use to handle automation in software development and beyond. It is quite remarkable for a project that originally started as a hobby project under a different name. I’m very proud. Around this time last year, we’ve celebrated 10 years, 1000 plugins, and 100K installations. That was a good...

Pipeline 2.x plugins

Those of you who routinely apply all plugin updates may already have noticed that the version numbers of the plugins in the Pipeline suite have switched to a 2.x scheme. Besides aligning better with the upcoming Jenkins 2.0 core release, the plugins are now being released with independent lifecycles. “Pipeline 1.15” (the last in the 1.x line) included simultaneous releases of...

The Need For Jenkins Pipeline

This is a cross-post of an article authored by Viktor Farcic on the CloudBees blog. Viktor is also the author of The DevOps 2.0 Toolkit, which explores Jenkins, the Pipeline plugin, and the ecosystem around it in much more detail. Over the years, Jenkins has become the undisputed ruler among continuous integration (CI), delivery and deployment (CD) tools. It, in a way, defined the CI/CD processes we use today....

Replay a Pipeline with script edits

This is a cross-post of an article authored by Pipeline plugin maintainer Jesse Glick on the CloudBees blog. For those of you not checking their Updates tab obsessively, Pipeline 1.14 [up to 2.1 now] was released a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to highlight the major feature in this release: JENKINS-32727, or replay. Some folks writing "Jenkinsfiles" in the field had grumbled that it was awkward to develop...
