Improvements

• Added suggestions for commands that can be moved to the Environment configuration tab in build actions, e.g. apt-get install
• Added kubectl support in v1.12.3 and 1.13.0 in Kubernetes actions
• Added a warning about the maximum number of parallel actions allowed in the plan

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug with the pipeline progress bar on the cards view stopping on 10% with no visible advancement. Now the bar is filling up properly from 0 to 100%
• Fixed a bug with some project names (e.g. api) being forbidden by the system

Good news everybody: using custom Docker images has just got simpler and much faster!

Until now, if you wanted to use a custom image defined in the repository you had to:

1. Build the image
2. Push the image to the registry
3. Pull it back to the build action

Due to popular demand from the community, we have decided to add yet another level of ENV Vars in addition to the already existing three.

To add an action-specific variable, go the Variables tab in the target action, click the add button, and select the scope in the top-left corner:

New features

• Action-specific variables – you can now add variables that will be available only in builds and Run image action
• Use custom Docker images without pushing them to the registry

Improvements

• New region in the New Relic action – you can now send notifications to Europe (before, only the US was available)
• Pipeline and execution views are now loading faster. This solves the problem with executions that contained a lot of git fetch logs (thanks, Ilya!)
• Improved Angular CLI configuration for Karma tests

Bugfixes

• On some occasions, changing the authentication mode in SSH and SFTP actions altered the connection details to the server. Fixed!

With Google picking up the pace in serverless computing, Buddy doesn’t lag behind delivering two new actions that will let you deploy and invoke GCloud Functions.

In short, Functions act as application backends with no server provisioning or management, which is especially good for projects whose traffic patterns are hard to predict. They are event driven, which means they’re executed only when cloud events occur.

New features

• New actions: Deploy & Invoke GCloud Functions
• New guide: Magento on Docker/Kubernetes

Improvements

• In the CloudFront action, only the first 100 distributions were getting listed. From now on, you can choose from all distributions available
• The text editor on the iOS has been improved for better display

Bugfixes

• Calling the API methods was taking a very long time (~4s). All times are now back to normal
• Fixed a bug with running parallel actions if one of them was disabled

Fasten up your seatbelts and hold on to something as parallel actions are making their way to Buddy!

The feature many of you have been waiting for is soon to land on Buddy’s production servers. It will allow you to considerably save time on development and operations: for example, by running multiple deployments at once, or split tests in two and run them in parallel.

Find & replace is a new action that lets you automatically, well, find and replace specific phrases in files and filesystem paths.

The set of trigger conditions originally designed for individual actions is now available for entire pipelines. We have added this feature in response to users whose every pipeline action was triggered on the same condition (e.g. change to a repository path).

This way you no longer has to set it one by one in every action: just go to the pipelines settings and select the proper option.

New features

• Parallel actions BETA
• Trigger conditions for pipelines
• New action: Find & Replace phrases in files or filesystem paths
• New action: Deploy files to UpCload server

Improvements

• Kubernetes CLI now supports Helm commands
• Google App Engine: It is now possible to set up the path to the file from which the service will be launched
