4.1.76 (2019-10-21)

Enhancements

• Integrations where heavily reworked and adjusted
  • Integrations are now organized into groups (forming a tree) vs plain list (flat structure)
  • Some groups (e.g. CI / Automation Servers) at the moment of writing support multiple integrations of the same type/kind - e.g. you can add multiple Jenkins instance; label them accordingly and execute test runs against specific Jenkins instance
  • All related operations (e.g. rerun) now keep context of specific integration they were executed against and all sequential actions will benefit from that knowledge
  • Multiple integrations of the same type can be renamed to better describe their purpose
• It is now possible to select number of items per page to be displayed at test results view.
• State of selected view mode, filter, sort options and page number is saved on navigation between test details and back.
• Grouping view mode with two displaying options was unfolded to the flat structure: view by class and view by package.
• It is now possible to download all test run artifacts at once as a single .zip archive. Artifacts will be distributed between folders in unpacked archive according to the test they belong to.
• Selenium and JIRA integration adapters were refactored and switched to Unirest HTTP client.
• Zafira exceptions now supply an internal error code allowing to better indicate what caused an API issue.

Fixes

• Integrations synchronization issues between multiple Zafira replicas fixed
• Test results page load time has been improved
• Once you go to test details in back - scrolling will take you back to the exact same spot in the list
• Build time for zafira-ui Docker image has been reduced

Noticeable tools/libraries updated

• Gradle has been updated to 5.6.3
• Spring Boot has been updated to 2.2.0.RELEASE

Migration steps (4.1.73 -> 4.1.76)

• Database state management should be enabled in order to automatically execute alter script against Zafira database. Make sure to pass DATABASE_STATE_MANAGEMENT_ENABLED=true to Zafira container.

4.1.73 (2019-09-16)

Enhancements

• README updated with new deployment instructions
• Redis secured with a password
• GitHub token encryption added
• Image gallery performance (load time) improved
• Zafira exceptions re-organized, their total number reduced. More on this in future releases.
• Gradle has been updated to 5.6.2
• Spring Boot has been updated to 2.1.8.RELEASE

Fixes

• Video streaming issue fixed
• Tooltips removed from the main menu
• An issue with Zafira startup when database state management is enabled is fixed: the changelog file now declares an empty array of changesets, thus solving Liquibase complaints about an empty changelog file
• A use case when Jira issue cannot be found by its id is fixed: the flow is considered normal application behavior, logging was leveled to debug to make sure there is no longer a stack trace error by default
• A bunch of minor application runtime issues was fixed

[MIGRATION STEPS FROM 4.0.69 TO 4.1.73]

• You'll need to remove GitHub repo and manually add it again so that the token is encrypted; otherwise, Zafira will try to decrypt the existing token value, which will result in an error
• Redis needs to be re-deployed with password authentication - see an example of redis.conf here and mount it to /usr/local/etc/redis/redis.conf. You'll also need to pass theREDIS_PASSWORD env property to Zafira, so the application can connect to secured Redis
  Note: Redis container version should be updated to 5.0.5, the command should be overridden to apply the security config file

  redis:
    image: redis:5.0.5
    volumes:
     - ./config/redis.conf:/etc/redis/redis.conf
    command: ["redis-server", "/etc/redis/redis.conf"]
    ports:
     - 6379:6379
    restart: always

4.1.69 (2019-08-28)

Enhancements

• Automatic database state management is now supported and powered by Liquibase, i.e. no need to manually patch the database starting from this release!
  Note: For 4.1.69, all alter scripts should be applied manually from alter till/to:
  • 126_pg-alter-05-08-2019.txt
  • 004_pg-alter-30-06-2019.txt
    Note: the next release notes should contain steps on how to enable it.
• User invitation flow is slightly improved: when inviting a group of users, emails will be resolved once you're done typing those and click Space (Gmail-style)
• 'X' button is now gone from the filter when it is selected. A single-click (de-select) now resets the filter.
• Tooltips were added to Zafira menu (left sidebar) in order to improve UX
• Source code migrated to Java 11. JDK 11 is required to compile and build Zafira from sources.
• Lombok is used for POJOs to get rid of boilerplate code. Annotation processing should be enabled in your IDE, so it won't complain about the method references it can't resolve.
• Zafira now uses the latest Spring Boot version, greatly simplifying configuration and deployment. The application is now packaged into an executable JAR file and uses the embedded web-server.
• Zafira dependencies cleaned up reducing application footprint size, some 3rd party libraries removed and codebase switched to goodies brought as a part of features available out of the box in Java 9-11.
• Startup optimization tweaks resulted in faster startup time which is now reduced by roughly 40%.

Fixes

• Minor runtime errors were fixed
