1.17.0

Release highlights

Label is no longer required when using podTemplate keyword.

Just use

podTemplate(yaml: """
...
""")
	node(POD_LABEL) {
	   ...
	}
}

The POD_LABEL variable will be automatically filled within the podTemplate block with a value derived from the current build id and some randomness to make it unique.

If a KubernetesComputer disconnects, the KubernetesSlave is now removed

It will also abort the corresponding build. This is super useful when running on top of EC2 Spot instances for example as it will prevent the build from waiting forever for the agent to reconnect (spoiler: it won't).
