Change Log

Changes to the cf app Display

In late June, we sent out a survey to ask the community their opinion on changing the cf app display. Buoyed by your feedback, we decided to move forward with changing the cf app display such that it is backed by the v3 app api endpoint. story

Users on CC API 3.27.0 or higher will see the new display; primary changes include:

  • app instance information is broken down by process type. See information about using procfiles and how to manage multi processes via a procfile
  • if you are using multiple buildpacks, the new cf app display will list all the buildpacks for your app

Notes:

  • users on CC API 3.27.0 or lower will continue to see the previous cf app display
  • the start command will only appear if the api provides it
  • details no longer appears in the app display table
  • if your app is in a crashed state, information for requested_state and instances no longer appear highlighted in red text
  • if you use the v3-set-droplet command and you do not immediately restage your app, the last_uploaded time will reflect the last time your app was restaged, not when you set the droplet
  • cf v3-app has been removed as a result of this work as it is now a redundant command
  • the new cf app summary at the end of the cf push output will also appear for users on cc api 3.27 or higher (note: commands (cf-start, cf-scale, cf-restart, cf-restage) where cf app appear will change in an upcoming release)
  • plugins will continue to see the previous (non-v3) app display regardless of API version.

Invocation Timeout Configuration

App devs on cc api 3.43.0 or higher can now use v3-set-health-check to set per invocation timeouts for http and port health checks for individual health checks. story. See documentation for more details.

Upgraded to Golang 1.10.3

This release bumps the CLI to use Golang 1.10.3. See the Golang release notes for more information.

Support for SOCKS5

  • Adds SOCKS5 support for cf v3-ssh (Note: SOCKS5 is not supported for the cf ssh command). See the Using the CF CLI with a Proxy Server documentation for more information. story

Multiple Buildpacks Support

Previously, pushing with multiple buildpacks, required you to use a combination of "v2" and "v3" commands. Now, if you are using CC API 3.25 or above, you can push with multiple buildpacks by either passing in multiple -b flags, or use the new buildpacks field in the manifest.

Note:

  • If you are using cc api 3.25, you will not see multiple buildpacks when you use the cf app command - upgrade to cc api 3.27 or higher to see multiple buildpacks displayed in the new app display
  • The buildpack field has been deprecated as a result of this work.
  • In some cases, buildpacks must be specified in a particular order, see the documentation below and this link for more information
  • buildpacks reflects the app buildpack, not the buildpack used if you have used the v3-set-droplet commands
  • If you are using multiple buildpacks as a manifest property to cf push, note that this new feature is not supported with deprecated manifest properties.

See documentation for more information.

Enhancements

  • v3-ssh process type now defaults to web story
  • Support added for setting tags for user provided service instances story
  • Now a warning appears if you attempt to use deprecated properties and variable substitution story
  • Updated usage so now you can rename the cf binary use it with every command story
  • cf events now displays the Diego cell_id and instance guid in crash events story
  • Includes cf service service-instance table display improvements wherein the service instance information is now grouped separately from the binding information story
  • cf service service-instance table display information for user provided services changed: status has been added to the table story
