- JENKINS-57257: Fixed regression in 2.5.0 that caused for PRs from forks to fail
Release date: 2019-04-26
Today, any PR that requires merging ends up cloning the associated GitHub repository on a Jenkins master, regardless of whether the Jenkinsfile was changed or not. In this release, we have significantly reduced the number of occurrences in which unnecessary full clones on the master happen.
For details see: JENKINS-43194 - Lightweight checkout for PR merge jobs.

Release date: 2017-11-07
-
JENKINS-34395: Add support for discovery of tags.
This feature adds a new "Discover Tags" behaviour which, when added will discover tags. With this feature there are now three types of things that can be discovered: branches, pull requests and tags.
When used with the Branch API plugin, tags will show up as a new category. The default configuration of Branch API will not trigger builds for tags automatically.
This is by design, as one of the use-cases for tag discovery is to use the tag job to perform deployment. If tags were built automatically, given that the order in which the tag jobs actually execute is undefined, the automatic build could cause significant issues. Branch API does provide a mechanism to control what gets built automatically (known as the
BranchBuildStrategy
) but that cannot be configured until you have at least one extension plugin that provides aBranchBuildStrategy
.If you want tags to build automatically, you will need an extension plugin for Branch API that implements at least one
BranchBuildStrategy
, see AngryBytes/jenkins-build-everything-strategy-plugin for a prototype example of such an extension plugin.

Release date: 2016-12-16
- Available from the experimental update center only
- Update to be compatible with the SCM API 2.0 changes. These changes
enable:
- Smart event based hook triggers (no longer does a change request force a full index)
- Fixes some edge cases with different code paths resulting in the wrong revisions of PRs being built - mainly focused on manually triggered builds from PRs that have had their target branch changed since the branch was first indexed.
- Pulled in the sensible functionality that was part of GitHub Org Folders... which turns GitHub Org Folders into a tombstone... recommendation is to upgrade GitHub Org Folders to 1.6-beta-1 to migrate the data and then uninstall that plugin after a full reindex
- When upgrading, you may need to force a full re-index of all organization folders and multi-branch projects in order to ensure that the hooks and attached actions are correctly detected.
