Breaking changes

Octopus 2020.1 introduced updated minimum requirements for running Octopus Server to Windows Server 2012 R2 and SQL Server 2017. This release is now enforcing the SQL Server minimum requirements.

This version also introduced a breaking change for users of Active Directory authentication using Kerberos, there is now a requirement to use host machine SPNs rather than user SPNs. This requirement means that High Availability features can only be used with NTLM based authentication when using Active Directory integration with H/A/

Octopus 2020.1

Highlights

DarkMode, Improved Octopus CLI support on macOS and Linux, and environment specific Worker Pools.

Read our blog post to learn more.

Breaking changes

This release includes the following breaking changes.

  1. Octopus Server minimum requirements - Octopus 2020.1 raises the minimum requirements for running Octopus Server to Windows Server 2012 R2 and SQL Server 2017.
  2. Library variable set permission changes - You can now scope variables stored inside library variable sets to environments and tenants, giving you fine-grain permissions and more consistent access control.

NOTE: Octopus Server has been ported to .NET Core 3.1 and so it no longer requires the .NET Framework to be installed.

Octopus 2019.13

Octopus 2019.13.0 is an incremental release after we shipped Octopus 2019.12.0 with long term support (LTS). It contains small updates and bug fixes as per the release notes. The next minor release will be 2020.1.0 and it will include features on our public roadmap.

Octopus 2019.12

Breaking changes

This release includes the following breaking changes.

Octopus API and Octopus.Client

The Octopus API has changed as a part of this release, versions of Octopus.Client before 8.0.0 can not create scheduled triggers on an Octopus Server where the version is older than 2019.11.0.

PowerShell Core

PowerShell Core support has introduced a change where running PowerShell scripts against non-Windows targets no longer silently ignores .ps1 files. Octopus will now attempt to execute .ps1 files on deployment targets. If PowerShell Core is installed on those targets, this may change the behaviour of your deployments. If PowerShell Core is not installed on those targets, the deployment will fail.

Build Information

Our build information change involved renaming resources from the API through to the database. This is generally backwards compatible, however anyone using our GitHub issue tracker will need to ensure they upgrade their Octopus Server if they upgrade their Azure DevOps extension, TeamCity plugin, or Bamboo plugin.

Octopus 2019.11

Highlights

Official Jenkins Plugin and Operations Runbooks

  • Official Octopus Deploy Jenkins plugin enables teams to integrate their Jenkins builds with Octopus deployments.
  • Operations Runbook platform helps teams automate routine maintenance and emergency operations tasks like infrastructure provisioning, database management, and website failover and restoration.
    • Familiar configuration process for anyone who has configured a deployment process.
    • The ability to execute runbooks directly against infrastructure on-demand or on a schedule (nightly, weekdays, once a month, etc.) as per your team’s needs.
    • Runbooks can be parameterized with prompted variables.
    • You can make changes to your runbooks with confidence, and only publish them after they have been safely tested.
    • Runbooks are managed and executed by Octopus, so this means there’s a complete audit trail that can be reviewed at a later date, making it easy to see what happened, when and why, and if anything needs to be changed.
    • You can give your entire team permission to execute your runbooks, without assigning everybody on the team permissions for the infrastructure the runbooks will execute against.

Octopus 2019.7

Highlights

Octopus 2019.7 is a significant release even though it doesn't include any user-facing features. It includes technical changes to retarget Octopus Deploy to .NET Framework 4.7.2 and .NET Core 2.2 so Octopus can run natively on Linux and in Linux containers. This change is initially for Octopus Cloud and it will be extended to Octopus self-hosted in the future.

Watch our blog for some great technical blog posts on what this involved and our lessons learned.

Breaking changes

Most customers can upgrade directly to Octopus Server 2019.7, except those hosting Octopus Server on Windows Server 2008 SP2. This blog post has more details about who will be affected, and what you can do to upgrade.

Don't worry, the Octopus Server installer will prevent you from accidentally upgrading if your host operating system will not be supported.

Octopus 2019.6

Highlights

  • Build information and work item tracking captures metadata about work items and build details and surfaces them with links to the appropriate sites.
  • Release notes templates and automatic release notes generation makes it easy to generate and share the changes that are going into your releases.
  • Octopus integration with Jira which provides two-way links between your Jira issues and your deployments.
  • Expanded Script Module support for C#, F# and Bash and Python.
  • Linux Tentacle early access unlocks the ability to deploy to Linux servers in highly secure environments where inbound ports cannot be opened on production servers.

Breaking changes

This release includes the following breaking changes:

  • There are some very slight changes to the format of the output returned by the Octopus.Server.exe show-configuration command. This functionality is unlikely to affect you, but if you are using this to drive automation, please test the new release before upgrading.
  • To support some customers who have Active Directory configurations where users share email addresses, we have had to remove the uniqueness restriction on user email.
  • Health check properties of machine policies have changed to accommodate Linux Tentacle. TentacleEndpointHealthCheckPolicy has been renamed to PowerShellHealthCheckPolicy and SshEndpointHealthCheckPolicy has been renamed to BashHealthCheckPolicy. Any custom tools that create machine policies should use the new property names.
  • The SSH health check policy OnlyConnectivity configuration option is now a policy-wide setting. Raw scripting on SSH targets commonly uses this setting. If you are using this setting, Octopus will create a new machine policy during the upgrade. Please refer to this GitHub issue for details if this is relevant to you.

Octopus 2019.5

Highlights

  • Updated build information and work item tracking to fix bugs and improve release note generation
  • Expanded script module support for C# (and F# and Bash and Python)
