We’re counting down the weeks until Blue Ocean 1.0, and we’re getting close! In this past week, the first release candidate has gone out to the Update Center, along with a new Pipeline Editor plugin. The Blue Ocean Pipeline Editor is its own plugin which integrates into Blue Ocean, so this was a coordinated release with Blue Ocean 1.0 rc1. Noteworthy this week: RC1 includes the Blue Ocean Pipeline Editor,...

In early February numerous free and open source developers from around the world traveled to Brussels, Belgium, for arguably the largest event of its kind: FOSDEM. Among the thousands of hackers in attendance were a dozen or so Jenkins contributors.

We’re counting down the weeks until Blue Ocean 1.0. This week was one of continuing consolidation and polish. We also released b25 (beta #25), a collectors edition. The next version we will likely release will be a release candidate (RC). The b25 release however contained a number of fixes and features, such as branch filtering. Some other updates of note from this past week: Updated a bunch of dependencies around...

We’re counting down the weeks until Blue Ocean 1.0. This week was relatively quiet with a few people away for a few days, and mostly about consolidation.

One notable feature that has recently landed is "escaping to Classic" When you see the exit symbol...

We’re counting down the weeks until Blue Ocean 1.0. In all the excitement I forgot to post a dev log last week, so I will make up for it this week. In the last 10 days, 2 betas went out: b22 and b23, and a preview release of the editor. We expect the next release will be named a release candidate (we know there is still more to go...

This is the fourth post in a series showing some of the cool features of Declarative Pipeline. In the previous post, we integrated several notification services into a Declarative Pipeline. We kept our Pipeline clean and easy to understand by using a shared library to make a custom step called sendNotifications that we called at...

Back in September 2016 we announced the availability of the Blue Ocean beta and the forthcoming Visual Pipeline Editor. We are happy to announce that you can try the Pipeline Editor preview release today. What is it? The Visual Pipeline Editor is the simplest way for anyone wanting to get started with creating Pipelines in Jenkins. It’s also a great way for advanced Jenkins users to start adopting pipeline. It...

This is a guest post by Liam Newman, Technical Evangelist at CloudBees. Declare Your Pipelines! Declarative Pipeline 1.0 is here! This is the third post in a series showing some of the cool features of Declarative Pipeline. In the previous post, we converted a Scripted Pipeline to a Declarative Pipeline, adding descriptive stages and post sections. In one of those post blocks, we included a placeholder for sending notifications. In this blog post, we’ll...
