Release Notes for Buildbot 0.8.11

The following are the release notes for Buildbot 0.8.11. This version was released on the 20th of April, 2015.

Master

Requirements:

  • Buildbot works python-dateutil >= 1.5

Features

  • GitHub change hook now supports application/json format.

  • Buildbot is now compatible with Gerrit v2.6 and higher.

    To make this happen, the return result of reviewCB and summaryCB callback has changed from

    (message, verified, review)

    to

    {'message': message,
 'labels': {'label-name': value,
           ...
           }
}

    The implications are:

    • there are some differences in behaviour: only those labels that were provided will be updated
    • Gerrit server must be able to provide a version, if it can't the GerritStatusPush will not work

    Note

    If you have an old style reviewCB and/or summaryCB implemented, these will still work, however there could be more labels updated than anticipated.

    More detailed information is available in GerritStatusPush section.

  • Buildbot now supports plugins. They allow Buildbot to be extended by using components distributed independently from the main code. They also provide for a unified way to access all components. When previously the following construction was used:

    from buildbot.kind.other.bits import ComponentClass

... ComponentClass ...

    the following construction achieves the same result:

    from buildbot.plugins import kind

... kind.ComponentClass ...

    Kinds of components that are available this way are described in ../manual/plugins.

    Note

    While the components can be still directly imported as buildbot.kind.other.bits, this might not be the case after Buildbot v1.0 is released.

  • :bbGitPoller now supports detecting new branches
  • :bbMasterShellCommand now renders the path argument.
  • ~buildbot.process.buildstep.ShellMixin: the workdir can now be overridden in the call to makeRemoteShellCommand.
  • GitHub status target now allows to specify a different base URL for the API (usefule for GitHub enterprise installations). This feature requires txgithub of version 0.2.0 or better.
  • GitHub change hook now supports payload validation using shared secret, see the GitHub hook documentation for details.
  • Added StashStatusPush status hook for Atlassian Stash
  • Builders can now have multiple "tags" associated with them. Tags can be used in various status classes as filters (eg, on the waterfall page).
  • MailNotifier no longer forces SSL 3.0 when useTls is true.
  • GitHub change hook now supports function as codebase argument.
  • GitHub change hook now supports pull_request events.
  • ~buildbot.process.buildstep.Trigger: the getSchedulersAndProperties customization method has been backported from Nine. This provides a way to dynamically specify which schedulers (and the properties for that scheduler) to trigger at runtime.

Fixes

  • GitHub change hook now correctly responds to ping events.
  • buildbot.steps.http steps now correctly have url parameter renderable
  • :bbMasterShellCommand now correctly logs the working directory where it was run.
  • With Git(), force the updating submodules to ensure local changes by the build are overwritten. This both ensures more consistent builds and avoids errors when updating submodules.
  • With Git(), make sure 'git submodule sync' is called before 'git submodule update' to update stale remote urls (2155).

Deprecations, Removals, and Non-Compatible Changes

  • The builder parameter "category" is deprecated and is replaced by a parameter called "tags".

Changes for Developers

  • ~buildbot.process.buildstep.Trigger: createTriggerProperties now takes one argument (the properties to generate).
  • ~buildbot.process.buildstep.Trigger: getSchedulers method is no longer used and was removed.
