Upgrading

Upgrading from 2.5 should not cause any issues. Some new database fields were added, and a new database table was added.

Compatibility

Some changes to Job serialization formats:

  • The project name is no longer included in exported Job definitions.
  • In YAML: options are now always serialized as a sequence, and will preserve the sequence order on input. The original Map format is still allowed on import.

Issues

Release 2.4.0

Date: 2014-12-16

Name: "americano indigo briefcase"

This release has bug fixes and new features, including some GUI improvements.

New Features

  • Job references can override Node Filters. See updates to XML and YAML job definition formats as well.
  • Job and Option descriptions can contain markdown and HTML. For Jobs, the first line is the short description, and following lines are interpreted as markdown.
  • MSSQL compatibility
  • Some GUI tweaks and changes
    • A new Action menu is available next to the Job name in job listing and view pages. Actions include Edit, Duplicate, Delete, and download XML/YAML definitions.
    • The Delete Job link in the Job Edit page has been removed
    • The Job Edit link in job lists has been replaced with an Action menu
    • Hovering on job name in job lists now triggers the detail popup after a slight delay. Previously it was triggered by hovering on the Edit link.
    • Execution follow page layout has been rearranged
    • Added extended Job descriptions (sanitized Markdown/html)
    • Job Edit/Create page: you are now asked to confirm navigation away from the page if you have made changes to the Job

Incubator features

  • Parallel step execution

    • this can be enabled with rundeck-config.properties entry:

        feature.incubator.parallelWorkflowStrategy=true

  • ssh-agent forwarding for ssh connections

    • this can be enabled per node, project, or server framework.properties:

        framework.local.ssh-agent=<true|false>
  framework.local.ttl-ssh-agent=<time in sec>

      project.properties:

        project.local.ssh-agent=<true|false>
  project.local.ttl-ssh-agent=<time in sec>

      Node properties:

        local-ssh-agent=<true|false>
  local-ttl-ssh-agent=<time in sec>

Compatibility notes

A bug in API v11 XML responses caused them to sometimes be incorrectly wrapped in a <result> element, this has now been corrected. See the API Docs for information. The Rundeck API Java Client library has been updated to workaround this issue (for previous versions of Rundeck).

What is "americano indigo briefcase"?

New versions of Rundeck will have a name based on the version number. The 2.x theme is Coffee, and 2.4.x is "americano". The point release defines a combination of color and icon we can display in the GUI for easier visual differentiation. 2.4.0 is "indigo briefcase".

Why yes, I'd like an americano, thank you.

  • Improved support for use of Windows, both as a Rundeck server and a remote node.
    • Fixed outstanding issues with CLI .bat scripts

Issues

Release 2.2.3

Date: 2014-09-24

Fix several issues found in 2.2.2:

Release notes from 2.2.2 follow:

This release fixes a number of bugs and addresses several potential security issues:

  1. Require a unique token for each form request from the GUI, which prevents replay and CSRF attacks
  2. Updated all pages to prevent unencoded data from being written to the response, preventing XSS style attacks.
  3. Prevent access to the /api URLs via the web GUI.
  4. Some plugins (Resource model, Node Executor and File Copier) now support using Password fields displayed in the Project config page. The field values once set are never revealed in clear text via the GUI.

Please see the Notes below for some configuration information related to these changes.

A big Thank You to one of our clients for sponsoring the work for these enhancements.

Security Notes:

The new form tokens used in all form requests by default will expire in 30 minutes. This means that if your session timeout is larger than 30 minutes and you attempt to e.g. run a job after your web page has been sitting open for longer than that, you will see an "Invalid token" error. If this becomes a problem for you you can either change the expiration time for these tokens, or switch to using non-expiring tokens. See Administration - Configuration File Reference - Security.

To add a Password field definition to your plugin, see Plugin Development - Description Properties. (Note that currently using property annotations is not supported for the three plugin types that can use Password properties.)

Upgrade notes:

See the Upgrading Guide.

Bugfix release.

Upgrade notes:

See the Upgrading Guide.

Contributors

  • Greg Schueler (gschueler)

Issues

Release 2.2.0

Date: 2014-07-11

New features:

  • Job timeout: specify a maximum duration for a job. If the job execution exceeds this duration, it will be halted (as if killed manually). You can use a simple format like "120m" (120 minutes) or "2h" (2 hours). You can specify the timeout via a job option by setting it to ${option.name}. This only affects the job when executed directly, not when run as a job reference.
  • Job retry: specify a maximum retry attempt for a job. If the job fails or is timed out, it will be retried. The maximum value can be specified via a job option if set to ${option.name}.
  • Delete executions: delete executions individually or in bulk. Requires a 'delete_execution' action allowed via aclpolicy.

Some bug fixes are included, as well as some pull requests to enhance the LDAP login module:

Upgrade notes:

Several domain fields were added. Mysql and H2 should upgrade in place without issue.

Issues:

Release 1.6.0

Date: 2013-08-02

Rundeck 1.6.0 introduces two major changes and a number of bug fixes and enhancements:

  • Logging system plugins.
    • New facility allows integration with other systems, like Logstash, and improves Rundeck's behavior in a clustered cloud environment by allowing you to have log files synched to a shared storage more easily.
  • Refreshed GUI
    • Did you know it hasn't really been changed since Rundeck 1.0?! We fixed some of the usability complaints about the old GUI, and our goal was to address usability without having to change functionality, but some of our future GUI enhancement ideas snuck in.

Notable issues:

Many thanks for the helpful contributions from the community!

Issues:

Release 1.5

Date: 2/21/2013

This release introduces a few new features and some bug fixes. The new features required some schema changes to the database, so direct upgrading from 1.4 to 1.5 is not possible. Please read the Upgrading document for upgrade information.

There is now a new type of plugin, the Workflow Step Plugin, which should allow rundeck workflows to integrate with more systems in a more direct fashion. These plugins can be either "Workflow Steps" (run once per workflow) or "Node Steps" (run once per node in a workflow.)

Steps can now have Error Handlers which run if the step fails. They will be provided with context data about the reason the step failed.

Notable Changes:

  • Step Plugins - Plugins can now be created and used for workflow or node steps.
  • Error Handlers - Each step in a workflow can now have an error handler that
  • will be run if the step fails. bug fix: Job references in a workflow will now
  • only run once, and not operate as a node-step.

Plugin developers:

You will need to update your plugins to work in Rundeck 1.5. Refer to the Developer Guide for more information.

Issues:

Release 1.4.5

Date: 1/10/2013

Notable Changes:

  • bug fixes
    • dispatch -s, some API project filtering was wrong, node dispatch threadcount can be set blank
  • Bulk delete jobs via GUI
  • Job page group filters now apply to Now Running and History areas
  • History views don't use 1 day as a filter by default anymore

Issues:

Release 1.4.4

Date: 10/26/2012

This release marks the end of the 1.4 development cycle, and includes bug fixes and a few new features.

We are planning to make some changes in the DB schema for the next release (1.5.x) that may not be backwards compatible so have included a feature to export a Rundeck project into an archive file. This will allow us to change the schema yet still allow users to migrate their projects.

Notable Changes:

  • bug fixes (scheduled jobs, mail notifications, rd-jobs yaml output, jenkins plugin + parallel jobs)
  • Project archive/import - download an archive of Jobs, Executions and History that can be imported into a different project
  • Added a second level of sudo password support
  • Add a 'purge' action to rd-jobs tool to delete jobs
  • Better support for Tomcat war deployment
  • View all nodes button in Run page
  • Cascading option values from remote URLs
  • CLI tools can follow execution output from the server (rd-queue, run, dispatch)
  • API enhancements:
    • query for executions and history reports
    • retrieve execution output

Issues:

Release 1.4.3

Date: 6/21/2012

Notable Changes:

  • Security fix for issue #555 - vulnerability with ldap authentication
  • Scripts can be executed from URLs
  • Secure options now have two types (authentication or normal)
  • Easily run a job with the same arguments as a previous execution
  • Bugfixes
