What's new

These are the most important features you'll get by upgrading from 2018.10.0 to 2018.11.1

Octopus 2018.11

Highlights

This release is our first fast lane release after the 2018.10 LTS release with long term support. If you're not sure what this means to you, please read the announcement to help decide which lane works best for you.

Even though it's been released at the start of January 2019, its a wrap up of all the work we did at the end of 2018. It mainly contains UI updates, but also a bunch of important fixes.

Cloud Dependency Updates

All the Cloud dependencies that ship with Octopus have had an update:

  • Azure PowerShell modules upgraded to 6.11.0 (Requires PowerShell 5.1)
  • Azure CLI upgraded to 2.0.50
  • AWS PowerShell modules upgraded to 3.3.390.0
  • AWS CLI upgraded to 1.16.52
  • Terraform CLI upgraded to 0.11.10
  • Terraform AzureRm plugin upgraded to 1.19.0
  • Terraform AWS plugin upgraded to 1.51.0
  • Terraform Azure plugin upgraded to 0.1.1

Database performance updates

At the end of the installation process, Octopus will rebuild or reorganize database indexes that are fragmented to ensure the database performs at its best. This may take some time, depending on the size of your database.

As normal, all of the usual steps for upgrading Octopus Deploy apply.
