What's new

These are the most important features you'll get by upgrading from 3.3.24 to 2019.6.0

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.

Read our [Octopus 2019.6 blog post to learn more.

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)

Read our blog post to learn more.

Breaking Changes

Remove the uniqueness restriction on user email addresses to support some customers who have Active Directory configurations where users share email addresses.
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 OnlyConnectivity option that was configured on SSH health check policies is now a policy-wide setting. This setting is commonly used for raw scripting on SSH targets. If you are using this setting a new machine policy will be created during the Octopus Server upgrade. Please refer to this GitHub issue for details, you may need to take action.
Permissions are now more strictly enforced for creating and modifying teams and users, to avoid users being able to escalate their own permissions. Please see 5537 for more information.

Octopus 2019.4

Highlights

Build information and work item tracking captures work items and build details and surfaces them with links to the appropriate sites.
Generate and share release notes automatically enables teams to view and share the work items associated with releases and deployments.
Octopus integration with Jira which provides two-way links between your Jira issues and your deployments.

Octopus 2019.3

Highlights

Octopus Server 2019.3 LTS is a roll-up release of Octopus 2019.1 and Octopus 2019.2 and the headline feature is Spaces which enables teams to group projects, environments, tenants, step templates, and other resources into a Space. It also includes a large number of enhancements and bug fixes along with database performance and cloud dependency updates.

Read our blog post to learn more.

Breaking changes

This release includes numerous break changes from the introduction of Spaces. Refer to the Octopus Deploy 2019.1 release highlights for the full details.

Octopus 2019.2

Highlights

User Invitations into Space Teams

We have added the ability to invite new users into Teams that are owned by Spaces. Previously, new Users could only be invited into System-level Teams, but now Spaces and Space Managers can be self sufficient by inviting new Users without needing to ask a more privileged user to first invite the user into a System team.

Improved Date Display

We've done some renovations around how we handle and display dates. Now, we display dates in your local timezone where possible, and if that isn't possible, we include the timezone, so it's much easier to tell when something happened if you're in a distributed team or in a different timezone to your Octopus Server. Unfortunately, this has meant we've had to make some breaking changes, but we believe the impact will be low.

Breaking Changes

The LastSeen property on octopusservernodes/ping now returns an ISO8601 date instead of a formatted string
The human-readable Completed date on a Task is now formatted with a timezone
The human-readable Published date on a Package is now formatted with a timezone
The Rank, LastSeen and IsOffline properties have been removed from the /api/OctopusServerNodes/{id} endpoint, and are now available from a new endpoint /api/OctopusServerNodes/summary
The EffectiveExpiryDate on the /api/licenses/licenses-current-status endpoint is now formatted with a Date (yyyy-MM-dd) rather than DateTimeOffset data type.
The third party libraries we use to read certificates have been upgraded to newer versions which include tighter certificate verification. This may reject incorrectly formatted certificates.
The write-verbose PowerShell Cmdlet now mimics native PowerShell behavior more closely - write-verbose "myvar = " $myvar is no longer valid and will throw a positional parameter cannot be found error. Please use write-verbose "myvar = $myvar" instead.

Octopus 2019.1

Highlights

Spaces

To bring in the new year, we are shipping our latest feature. Spaces is a comprehensive set of user interface, API and permission system changes designed to make it easier to configure deployments in busy organizations.

From our documentation:

Spaces let you partition your Octopus server so that different teams can only access the projects, environments, and infrastructure they work with from the spaces they are members of.

Teams & Permissions

We have re-designed the way permissions are assigned to Teams, making it easier than ever to configure and manage permissions for your users. As part of this we have rewritten much of the code that enforces these permissions so that we can make sure Octopus keeps your data safe. There are a few breaking changes involved here, so customers with complex permission configurations may want to pay careful attention to the release notes.

Breaking Changes

Before upgrading to this release, there are some breaking changes in behaviour that you need to be aware of.

Tentacle

Some tentacle operations now necessarily act within a space and the CLI commands accept an optional spaceName parameter. These commands are the register-with, register-worker, deregister-from, deregister-worker and show-configuration commands. Since the deregister-* commands act within a single space, and a single Tentacle can register machines in multiple spaces, these commands no longer remove trust for the Octopus Server. To remove trust, the command Tentacle.exe configure --remove-trust=... must instead be used.

API Changes

A number of API route changes were made in this release. Most routes now include a segment that represents the target Space. We provide a Default Space for backwards compatibility with the old routes.

Disabling the Default Space will turn off backwards compatibility. Anything that leans on the old API routes, integrations, extensions and tools may break when the default spaces is disabled. More information here

Many of these changes are also reflected in Octopus.Client, so it is recommended your integrations update to the latest version of Octopus.Client (at least 5.0.0).

IsMultiTenancyEnabled

The property representing whether multi-tenancy was enabled is no longer exposed through the features endpoint (/api/featuresconfiguration) but is now exposed through the tenancy status endpoint (/api/tenants/status or /api/{spaceId}/tenants/status).

Built in Repository & Feeds

The endpoint responsible for fetching and configuring settings related to the built in package repository (/api/repository/configuration) has been removed. Instead, the built in package repository settings are managed the same way as other feed types, through the feeds api (/api/feeds/{feedId}), where the {feedId} is the Id of the built in package repository. The built in package repository endpoint has moved from /api/serverstatus/nuget to /api/feeds/stats or /api/{spaceId}/feeds/stats

ServerTask links

The Links collection on Tasks (TaskResource) no longer contains Artifacts and Interruptions links for the subset of task types for which they do not apply (i.e. “System” tasks).

UserRoles

UserRoles (UserRoleResource) used to contain a single collection of GrantedPermissions, but now instead contains separate collections for permissions that apply within a space (GrantedSpacePermissions), and permissions that apply at the system level (GrantedSystemPermissions). Similarly, PermissionDescriptions has been replaced by SpacePermissionDescriptions and SystemPermissionDescriptions

Teams

Teams no longer contain scope properties (ProjectGroups, Projects, Environments and Tenants), nor do they reference UserRole. These concepts have been replaced by the new entity type ScopedUserRole.

ScopedUserRoles

This new entity type exists at /api/scopeduserroles. It represents an application of a UserRole to a Team. It also includes the scope properties (ProjectGroups, Project, Environment and Tenants) that apply for that UserRole. This enables UserRoles with different scoped applied to the same Team (i.e. the same group of Users), and also allows the same Team to have access to different Spaces.

Artifacts

Artifacts (Artifactresource) no longer contains RelatedDocumentIds. Instead there is a new property called ServerTaskId to indicate which ServerTask the Artifact was collected from. Artifacts can only be associated with AdHoc Script tasks and Deployment tasks.

Permission changes

The implementation of our permissions system was changed in order to support Spaces. At the same time, we took the opportunity to apply permissions more consistently, so that we could reduce confusion while also making things more secure.

This resulted in some breaking changes to permissions where the old system was not consistent. In most cases, the new system is more restrictive than the old system, so upon upgrade most users should not have more access than they previously had.

Some of these changes require additional permissions to do certain tasks. For users that tend to use built in User Roles, Octopus should continue to behave as it did before and no action is required.

Customers with complex permission configurations may want to pay careful attention to the release notes, as there may be action required after upgrade. While most of these changes affect edge cases that normal users won’t encounter, we recommend testing your permissions after upgrade to ensure they behave as you intend.

In general *Edit and *Delete permissions, now strictly requires the corresponding *View permission.

For example: AccountDelete now also requires AccountView MachinePolicyEdit now also requires MachinePolicyView And so on

Accounts

Retrieving accounts by ID is more restrictive now (to be consistent with the Index endpoint). It used to allow you to see documents with partial scoping (eg. no tenants) when your permissions were scoped, which is no longer the case. Getting the usage of accounts may require ProjectView

Certificates

Retrieving certificates by ID is more restrictive now (to be consistent with the Index endpoint). It used to allow you to see documents with partial scoping (eg. no tenants) when your permissions were scoped, which is no longer the case. Getting the usage of certificates may require ProjectView Viewing the public Octopus Server certificate no longer requires the MachineEdit permission. It is accessible by any authenticated user.

Action Templates

Search and logo retrieval requires ActionTemplateView Get usages of the action template requires ProjectView Updating deployment actions will skip actions that are inaccessible rather than failing Updating deployment actions additionally requires the ProjectView permission

Artifacts

Users with could not view/edit or create a completely unscoped artifact if their permissions were scoped, but now they can.

Audit

AuditView permission has been removed because it is no longer applicable, as you always needed EventView to actually see events via the Audit screen. There is no migration required for this, e.g. if you had AuditView without EventView previously, then you could not see any events anyway.

Cloud Template

The cloud template endpoint no longer requires the ProcessEdit permission. It is accessible by any authenticated user.

Deployment

Creating a deployment additionally requires ReleaseView, ProcessView, ProjectView, EnvironmentView, DeploymentView Modifying a deployment additionally requires EnvironmentView Tenanted deployments additionally require TenantView

Deployment Process

Getting a template requires ReleaseView Getting a list of Deployment processes now requires ProcessView

Events

Events that are scoped to multiple of the same type of document, and your EventView permission are scoped to the same documents then you can now see that event. You can see events that partially match your permissions scopes, instead of needing to match all of your permission scopes.

Feeds

Downloading packages or viewing the delta signature for the built in feed additionally requires the FeedView permission Searching for packages in the built in release feed requires ReleaseView and ProjectView. Modifying configuration for the built in feed now requires the BuiltInFeedAdminister instead of the ConfigureServer permission.

Interruptions

InterruptionViewSubmitResponsible is the only permission required to take responsibility and submit and interruption when that interruption has assigned responsible teams. To view an assigned interruption you may require UserView

Library Variable Sets

LibraryVariableSetView is now consistently checked in all scenarios where a variable set is accessed.

Lifecycles

Lifecycles can be created or edited only when the user has EnvironmentView access to all environments used by that lifecycle EnvironmentView is required to preview a lifecycle ‘ProcessView’ and ‘ProjectView’ are required to view projects connected to a lifecycle The lifecycle progression API now requires ProcessView, DeploymentView, TenantView, EnvironmentView and LifecycleView

Projects & Project Groups

Creating a project group and adding a project no longer requires ProcessView

Packages

When replacing an existing package, the BuiltInFeedPush permission check will take into account the project scopes applied to that permission You can no longer get the delta signature of a package scoped to a project, while your BuiltInFeedDownload permission was scoped to a different project

Releases

Editing a release requires ProcessView and ProjectView Updating release variables requires ProjectView Viewing a release requires ProjectView Getting a release template requires ProcessView and LifecycleView Getting the release progression requires ProcessView and LifecycleView

Server Nodes

Octopus Server Nodes GET endpoints are accessible to authenticated users - they don’t require administrator access. Any modifications still required administrator access.

Tasks

Cancelling a task requires TaskView, and any permissions that would be required to create that type of task (for example, EnvironmentView or MachineEdit for AdHoc Script tasks) Re-running a task requires the same permissions as creating that task. You can now always view the raw task log if you have TaskView for that task and also TaskViewLog. Modifying a task’s state when that task is not a Deployment task now requires TaskEdit scoped to that task, instead of requiring unscoped TaskEdit

Tenants

Getting tenant variables requires ProjectView Getting missing variables for tenants requires LibraryVariableSetView Updating the sort order for tag sets requires TagSetEdit instead of TenantEdit

Users

Getting a list of users will always return at least one result (yourself), even if you lack the UserView permission

Octopus 2018.12

This release consists of a few important bug fixes and enhancements. Most notable is updating our Azure support to handle deprecated management certificate better.

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.

Octopus 2018.9

Highlights

Kubernetes

2018.9 removes the alpha feature-flag from the Kubernetes support in Octopus!

The following pieces are now fully-supported members of the Octopus family:

Offline Drop Artifacts

Offline Package Drop targets can now be configured to persist the bundle as an Octopus Artifact.

Offline Package Drop targets could previously only persist the bundle to a file-system directory, which wasn't suitable for Octopus Cloud instances. Artifacts are a perfect fit for this; the deployment bundle is persisted a zip file stored against the deployment in Octopus.

Cloud Dependency Updates

All the Cloud dependencies that ship with Octopus have had an update in 2018.9

Azure PowerShell modules upgraded from 5.7.0 to 6.8.1. This update fixes some known issues with the 5.7.0 release of Azure PowerShell.
Azure CLI upgraded from 2.0.42 to 2.0.45
AWS PowerShell modules upgraded from 3.3.225.1 to 3.3.343.0
AWS CLI upgraded from 1.16.6 to 1.16.15
Terraform CLI upgraded from 0.11.5 to 0.11.8
Terraform AzureRm plugin version 1.16.0
Terraform AWS plugin version 1.39.0

Octopus 2018.8

Highlights

2018.8.0 introduces initial alpha level support for Kubernetes. These new steps, feeds and targets allow you to deploy Kubernetes Deployment, Service, Ingress, ConfigMap and Secret resources. You can find documentation of these features here.

Client Versions

Octopus.Clients, the Octo CLI command line tools and the Team City plugin must be updated to version 4.39.4 to work with the new features in Octopus 2018.8.0.

CloudFormation

We have added a new feature to the deploy CloudFormation Template step which enables the use of changesets. This allows transforms such as AWS::Serverless and AWS::Include to be used and optionally deferring execution in order to review changes as part of a manual intervention step before executing changes.

Octopus 2018.5

Breaking Changes

We have upgraded the Azure SDK library and the Azure PowerShell modules to support the latest Azure features. Most notably missing was support for nested ARM templates, which will now work out of the box.

These upgrades have also forced the minimum supported environment for Octopus Server to Microsoft .NET 4.5.2 and PowerShell 5.0 so you'll need to plan your upgrade accordingly. The PowerShell 5.0 requirement is only if you are running the Azure PowerShell scripts.

Azure recently announced that from June 30th 2018 they are retiring support for Service Management API (NOTE: Management Certificates use Service Management API). This affects deployments to Azure App Services.

Please switch to using Service Principals for your Octopus Azure accounts

To configure the version of Azure PowerShell modules, we have made a change to the name of the variable. You can now set OctopusUseBundledAzureModules to False.

Octopus 2018.3

Changes in 2018.3

See our release blog post for more details.

New Features

This month, we've greatly improved our support for infrastructure as code unlocking some incredible deployment automation and infrastructure automation scenarios. Octopus 2018.3 introduces support for GitHub repositories as feeds and first class terraform support as well as some awesome smaller features like Highlight Messages and Artifacts and . Read on for all the exciting details!

Upgrading

This release contains a few post-install data fixes that may take some time (depending on the size of your DeploymentProcess and Events tables), so please ensure you allow time for this to complete. If you are running the watchdog service, please ensure this is stopped during the upgrade.

All of the usual steps for upgrading Octopus Deploy apply.

Octopus 2018.2

Changes in 2018.2

See our release blog post for more details.

New Features

Octopus 2018.2 brings a number of exciting new features including the much requested step to deploy a release, the ability to deploy AWS CloudFormation templates, delete existing CloudFormation stacks, and run scripts with the AWS CLI.

Breaking Changes

If you are using an older version of Octopus.Client.dll to access /api/feeds/all then this will now error. You will need to update to >= 4.30.7 of Octopus.Client. The reason for this is that we have added a new feed type for releases of Octopus projects, to support the new Deploy Release step.

In anticipation of some upcoming new feed types we have hit the point where we were forced to revisit how we expose the packages API for external feeds, and how we store cached packages for deployments. Unless you are hitting the Octopus API directly to search through your external feeds or rely on specific naming of the cached packages, then there should be almost no impact to you. One side effect of the change to package cache names is that the current packages cache on the server and tentacles will be no longer checked so new deloyments will use the new package names. More details about these changes are available in the GitHub tickets "Packages API does not meet the requirements of our expanding feed types #4114" and "Modify the cache naming format to allow for new feed formats #4211".

Upgrading

All of the usual steps for upgrading Octopus Deploy apply.

Octopus 2018.1

Changes in 2018.1

See our release blog post for more details.

New Features

This January release of Octopus Deploy is primarily a security release driven by Octopus Cloud and will also benefit each of our customers running Octopus Deploy on-premises. We highly recommend upgrading.

You'll also notice our new versioning strategy: what would normally have been Octopus 4.2 is actually 2018.1. Read more about why we changed.

Improvements

When installing Octopus Server and using a Custom Windows Account to run the service, the installation wizard will configure SQL Server correctly so the Custom Windows Account can access the database
Steps may now be explicitly configured to run before or after package acquisition
The built-in worker, which executes deployment steps and scripts on the Octopus Server, can now be configured to run using a different, lower-privileged user account
Fix for infrastructure overview not correctly flowing tag sets from associated tenants
Import using the Octopus migrator finds the correct deployment process for scripts from similarly named projects
Existing orphaned channels and releases are removed from the database
The check to see whether a step template is in use is now much quicker
Environments, channels and tags now cannot be deleted if they are used by a disabled step in a project's current process
Package notes are fetched in bulk and in async, meaning a release can be deployed without all notes being downloaded first
The installed version of Octopus Server is now tracked to help us provide support when data issues occur and is a precursor to raising and event on upgrade

Breaking Changes

Auto machine removal now happens as part of health checks. Minor breaking change API endpoint for machine removal logs is removed and machine removal logs are no longer stored on the Octopus server

Upgrading

All of the usual steps for upgrading Octopus Deploy apply.

Octopus 4.1

Changes in 4.1

See our release blog post for more details.

New Features

This December release of Octopus continues the support for Java that was introduced back in 3.17, with the ability to export certificates as Java KeyStores, as well as configuring certificates directly within existing Tomcat 7+, WildFly 10+ and Red Hat JBoss EAP 6+ application servers. This release also allows Maven repositories to be configured as external Octopus feeds, meaning Octopus can now consume Maven artifacts as part of a deployment.

Improvements

Maven repositories as external feeds
Deployment of Java keystores and configuration of certificates in WildFly, JBoss EAP and Tomcat
Directories for task logs, artifacts and the package repository are now store as relative paths

Breaking Changes

There are no breaking changes in this release.

Upgrading

All of the usual steps for upgrading Octopus Deploy apply.

Octopus 4.0

Changes in 4.0

New Features

Breaking Changes

Upgrading

This release contains a few post-install data fixes that may take some time (depending on the size of your DeploymentProcess and User tables), so please ensure you allow time for this to complete. If you are running the watchdog service, please ensure this is stopped during the upgrade.

As always, read the upgrade guide for more details on upgrading to Octopus 4.0.

Octopus 3.17

Changes in 3.17

See our release blog post for more details.

New Features

Octopus 3.17 introduces first-class Java support so teams can start deploying their Java apps in a safe, repeatable and reliable way! This release includes support to deploy to Tomcat, RedHat JBOSS EAP and Wildfly application servers and the Octopus built-in repository can now manage Java packages like jar, war, ear and rar files.

Improvements

Swagger support for the Octopus API
Improved user administration and authentication performance

Breaking Changes

There are no breaking changes in this release.

Upgrading

All of the usual steps for upgrading Octopus Deploy apply.

Octopus 3.16

Changes in 3.16

See our release blog post for more details.

New Features

Octopus 3.16 removes the requirement to install Mono when deploying to Linux and MacOS targets. It does this by using a self-contained .NET Core build of Calamari.

Improvements

Support for Okta as an authentication provider
ScriptCS has been upgraded to version 0.17.1
Resolved issue introduced by Let's Encrypt API change

Breaking Changes

The latest version of ScriptCS has introduced some breaking changes so it's important to review their release notes before upgrading. This only affects projects with script steps written using C#, which are powered by ScriptCS under the hood.

Upgrading

This release contains a post-install data fix that may take a few minutes, depending on the size of your Events table, so please ensure you allow time for this to complete. In our testing with 180,000 records in the EventsTable took ~3 seconds to upgrade.

If you are running the watchdog service, please ensure this is stopped during the upgrade.

All of the usual steps for upgrading Octopus Deploy apply.

Octopus 3.15

Changes in 3.15

New Features

This month, we bring you some much requested improvements to multi-tenant deployments, as well as Octopus Server integration with Let's Encrypt and more!

The way machines, accounts and certificates participate in tenanted-deployments can now be explicitly specified. This includes allowing un-tenanted projects to be deployed to tenanted machines. This has been a long-standing gripe with tenanted deployments which we're very happy to resolve.

Our new integration with Let's Encrypt means you can setup an SSL certificate for your Octopus Portal and it will automatically be renewed when it expires. No need to worry about buying a certificate or manually reconfiguring your server.

Read the full post on the Octopus blog.

Improvements

If you're automating the setup of the Octopus Server or Tentacles, you'll be happy to hear that we've put some solid effort into cleaning up our console logging. It will now be much easier to get the information you need without having to do string parsing.
Granting Edit permissions now automatically assigns View permissions. It always helps to be able to see what you're changing.

Breaking Changes

Console output has changed (for the better!), so we advise testing any automation before upgrading to this version.
Octopus.Client version 4.19.0 contains API changes corresponding with the multi-tenant deployment participation change, a minor breaking change for anyone using the MultiTenantDeploymentMode on Project resources via the client.

Upgrading

This release contains a post-install data fix that may take some time (depending on the size of your Events table), so please ensure you allow time for this to complete. If you are running the watchdog service, please ensure this is stopped during the upgrade.

As always, read the upgrade guide for more details on upgrading to Octopus 3.15.

Octopus 3.14

Changes in 3.14

New Features

We are excited to announce the Octopus Deploy plugin for Atlassian Bamboo continuous integration server.

This includes build tasks to make it easy to integrate your build and deployment pipelines.

Package applications for deployment
Push packages to Octopus
Create Octopus releases
Deploy Octopus releases

Improvements

We've updated our ‘Deploy to IIS’ step to add support to control how your web sites and app pools are started after a successful. deployment. This is a great addition to one of most popular steps.
Octopus is now generating all its certificates using using SHA256, instead of the older SHA1. We blogged about this previously when the SHAttered security vulnerability was announced and we've updated Octopus as promised.
Octopus Server and Tentacle will now be released on a separate cadence. Tentacle will now be versioned/released independently and it will now come with its own release notes. This is a minor point but it should make it easier to upgrade Octopus going forward!
Octopus Server database schema updates are now more transparent. Now when you upgrade Octopus to 3.14.0, or newer, the database schema upgrade will be performed immediately after the software upgrade, clearly showing the progress of the schema changes.
We've added some new database indexes and we greatly reduced the memory usage on all HTTP requests. This means Octopus can spend less time cleaning up after itself, and more time being productive on your behalf.

Breaking Changes

Octopus Tentacle 3.14.15: Octopus Tentacle 3.14.15 is not backwards compatible with Octopus Server versions less than 3.14.15. This has been fixed as of Octopus Tentacle 3.14.159.

Octopus Server configuration automation: If you are using scripts to automate your Octopus Server installation, please test these scripts with Octopus Server 3.14.x. We have made some changes to simplify configuration of your Octopus Server, but weren't able to maintain 100% backwards compatibility with some of the more obtuse scripts we tested. If you encounter any problems, please look at the scripts generated when you use the Octopus Server wizard.

SQL Database schema upgrades: It may also be worth noting we have adjusted the SQL database schema upgrades so they can be run at the time, and by a user account, which best suits your scenario:

Automatically after the installer completes (new behaviour) - this runs the schema upgrades as the user account who started the installer - falls back to the existing behaviour if the installing user cannot access the SQL database
Automatically during the Octopus Server startup (just like before) - this runs the schema upgrade as the user account who started the Octopus Server
Automatically when executing the Octopus.Server.exe configure command for a setting which is stored in the database (just like before) - this runs the schema upgrade as the user account who started the Octopus Server
Manually by executing the brand new Octopus.Server.exe database --upgrade command - this will run the schema upgrades as the user account who started the command

This may not affect many customers, but enables some advanced scenarios where you can grant limited privileges to the Octopus Server account, and grant schema change privileges to a special account used for installation.

SQL Error 4060 - Cannot open database "OctopusDeploy" requested by the login. The login failed.

If you see an error message like this after the installer completes, you can start the Octopus Server just like before and let it perform the schema upgrades.

Upgrading

Read the upgrade guide for more details on upgrading from your current version to Octopus 3.14.

Octopus 3.13

Changes in 3.13

New Features

We are excited to announce that Octopus now includes first-class support for Deploying Azure Service Fabric applications.

New deployment steps include:

Deploying a Service Fabric App (learn more)
Running a Service Fabric SDK PowerShell Script (learn more)

You can also read our guide on Continuous Integration for Service Fabric.

Improvements

You can now enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)
You can now configure optional lifecycle phases
We have improved browser caching of expensive operations like loading the dashboard
The message on the deployment overview can now be customised, refer to failing a script with a message
You can now edit the state of a task from the task screen by providing the new task state and the reason for the change.
You can now configure channel-indexed version templates so you can use a consistent version scheme across channels

Breaking Changes

Please note there is a minor breaking change in this release around the show-configuration command. This will only affect customers who use the show-configuration command for things like automating Octopus Server installation and configuration.

Octopus.Storage.NodeName has been corrected to be Octopus.Server.NodeName.

See this GitHub Issue for more details.

Octopus 3.4

New Features in 3.4

Multi-tenant deployments
Improved support for elastic and transient environments
Cloud Region deployment targets
Proxy support for Tentacle communications
Support for F# custom scripts
SemVer 2 support
Support for NuGet v3 external package repositories
Deprecation notice: We are deprecating the Azure Cloud Service and Azure Web App deployment targets. See below for more details.
Deprecation notice: We are deprecating the MachineResource.Status property in favour of the new MachineResource.HealthStatus property. See below for more details.
Breaking change: We have patched Tentacle to fix a bug when registering new machines with Octopus 3.4. See below for more details.
Breaking change: We have changed the HTTP Status Code returned when you attempt to push a duplicate package to the built-in package repository. See below for more details.
Breaking change: Octopus Server now requires a minimum .NET version of 4.5.1. We have changed the minimum required version for the server to enable the SQL connection resiliency features in ADO.NET. The Octopus Tentacles retain their current minimum .NET version.
Breaking change: If you are using TeamCity NuGet feeds you will need to upgrade to TeamCity 9.0 or newer (Recommend latest due to continual improvements in NuGet feed) or switch to using the Octopus built-in repository. This is due to upgrading our NuGet dependencies to v3 which aren't compatible with the custom v1 feed provided by TeamCity 7.x-8.x. We recommend upgrading to the latest TeamCity version and enabling the v2 NuGet feed API.
Breaking change: The way pre-release versions are handled in Channel version rules has changed. Previously pre-release versions were treated as greater than the release version. This has now been corrected, and pre-release versions are considered less than release versions. e.g. the version rule (,1.0] would have previously excluded 1.0.0-alpha. It will now include it.
Breaking change: The property PackageSizeBytes has been moved from PackageResource to PackageFromBuiltInFeedResource.
Breaking change: The property Octopus.Action.Package.NuGetPackageId and Octopus.Action.Package.NuGetFeedId on deployment steps has been changed to Octopus.Action.Package.PackageId and Octopus.Action.Package.FeedId to reflect our extended packaging options. Steps that have the old property names will have the values be synchronised with the new properties, however new steps will only set the new properties.
Breaking change: The property ActivityLog on TaskDetailsResource has been renamed to ActivityLogs
Breaking change: The logic for ScopeSpecification in Octopus.Client has moved to ScopeScenario

Octopus 3.4 and snapshots - nothing has changed

We recently posted a request for comments on removing snapshots. Don't worry, we haven't changed anything. Deployment snapshots in Octopus 3.4 work just like they did in earlier releases.

You cannot create new Azure Cloud Service nor Azure Web App deployment targets

Starting in Octopus 3.4 you will no longer be able to create new Azure Cloud Service nor Azure Web App deployment targets. Don't worry, you will be able to view and edit any existing Azure deployment targets, and begin migrating them over to the replacement Azure Cloud Service and Azure Web App deployment steps. Here is a guide to help you migrate.

In a future release of Octopus Deploy we will cease support for the Azure Cloud Service and Azure Web App deployment targets, giving you plenty of notice before doing so.

Please note that Azure Cloud Services and Azure Web Apps are still fully supported; we are just changing the way they are implemented.

Changes to health check results

We have introduced a new property MachineResource.HealthStatus for elastic and transient environments which can be either Healthy, Unhealthy, Unavailable, HasWarnings and Unknown. You can continue to use the existing MachineResource.Status in Octopus 3.4, but we have marked the Status property as Obsolete and will be removing it in a future release. The states NeedsUpgrade and CalamariUpgrade that were previously overloading the MachineResource.Status property should now be determined by the pre-existing MachineResource.Endpoint.TentacleVersionDetails.UpgradeSuggested and MachineResource.HasLatestCalamari properties respectively.

Registering new Tentacle Instances with Octopus 3.4

Registering a brand new Tentacle instance with Octopus 3.4 will fail if you are using an older version of Tentacle. This happens because old Tentacle doesn't understand Cloud Regions and couldn't deserialize them. We have patched Tentacle to be more resilient to these kinds of changes in the future.

Note: This issue only affects registering new Tentacle Instances with your Octopus Server. Existing Tentacles will continue to work as per normal. Registering a new Tentacle instance on an existing server where Tentacle has previously been installed will also fail until the Tentacle is upgraded to one of the below versions.

Registering 3.0.x Tentacles (used for older .NET 4.0-only servers): please download Tentacle 3.0.26 which has been patched to work with Octopus 3.4.
Registering a newer version of Tentacle: please start using the a 3.4.x Tentacle release (we recommend the latest).

Changes to built-in repository error codes

When you push a duplicate package to the built-in package repository we will now respond with HTTP status code 409 Conflict instead of 400 Bad Request. Clients like nuget.exe would only show the HTTP status code, dropping the reason Octopus returned explaining why it was a bad request. Using 409 Conflict for this situation should make it easier to diagnose. Refer to this GitHub Issue for more information.

Upgrading

Read the upgrade guide for more details on upgrading from your current version to Octopus 3.4.

Using TeamCity NuGet feeds? You will need to upgrade your TeamCity server to v9.0 or newer and enable the NuGet v2 API. Octopus 3.4+ no longer supports the custom NuGet v1 feeds from TeamCity 7.x-8.x. We recommend upgrading to the latest TeamCity version available due to continual improvements in their NuGet feed - or switch to using the Octopus built-in repository.

Want to use SemVer 2 for packages or releases? You will need to upgrade OctoPack and/or octo.exe to 3.4 or newer.

Octopus 3.3

New Features in 3.3

Breaking change: Sensitive Properties have changed to resolve a number of issues on deployment steps and templates, affecting octo.exe, Octopus.Client and the TeamCity plugin (see below for more details)

Read our blog post announcing 3.3

Please Note: you will need to upgrade octo.exe, Octopus.Client and the TeamCity plugin when upgrading to Octopus Deploy 3.3

Breaking Change: Sensitive Properties

As part of this release we have resolved a number of minor issues with sensitive properties on deployment steps and step templates. The issues resolved include:

Windows Service Custom account and password properties no longer retained when switching account types (#2264).
Sensitive fields in steps can now be cleared/reset (#2311)
Username/password fields on IIS and Windows Service features will remain visible if account-type/identity is bound to a variable (#2333)
Sensitive fields now use a consistent UI control across the entire portal.

Breaking Change

This introduces a breaking change to our API, and will affect those using the following endpoints:

/api/deploymentprocesses
/api/actiontemplates

It also affects octo.exe, Octopus.Client and the TeamCity plugin. If you are using any of these components please upgrade them when upgrading to Octopus Deploy 3.3.

See Sensitive Property API Changes in Release 3.3 for more details.
