Back in May 2016 we announced our intent to rethink the Jenkins User experience with the Blue Ocean project and today the Jenkins project are pleased to announce the general availability of Blue Ocean 1.0. Blue Ocean is an entirely new, modern and fun way for developers to use Jenkins that has been built from the ground up to help teams of any size approach Continuous Delivery. Easily installed as...

We’re counting down the weeks until Blue Ocean 1.0, and we’re getting close! In this past week, the first release candidate has gone out to the Update Center, along with a new Pipeline Editor plugin. The Blue Ocean Pipeline Editor is its own plugin which integrates into Blue Ocean, so this was a coordinated release with Blue Ocean 1.0 rc1. Noteworthy this week: RC1 includes the Blue Ocean Pipeline Editor,...

We’re counting down the weeks until Blue Ocean 1.0. This week was one of continuing consolidation and polish. We also released b25 (beta #25), a collectors edition. The next version we will likely release will be a release candidate (RC). The b25 release however contained a number of fixes and features, such as branch filtering. Some other updates of note from this past week: Updated a bunch of dependencies around...

We’re counting down the weeks until Blue Ocean 1.0. This week was relatively quiet with a few people away for a few days, and mostly about consolidation. There was a beta late last week, so this week we thought we would let people have a rest from the upgrade treadmill for once. One notable feature that has recently landed is "escaping to Classic" When you see the exit symbol...

We’re counting down the weeks until Blue Ocean 1.0. In all the excitement I forgot to post a dev log last week, so I will make up for it this week. In the last 10 days, 2 betas went out: b22 and b23, and a preview release of the editor. We expect the next release will be named a release candidate (we know there is still more to go...

Back in September 2016 we announced the availability of the Blue Ocean beta and the forthcoming Visual Pipeline Editor. We are happy to announce that you can try the Pipeline Editor preview release today. What is it? The Visual Pipeline Editor is the simplest way for anyone wanting to get started with creating Pipelines in Jenkins. It’s also a great way for advanced Jenkins users to start adopting pipeline. It...

We’re counting down the weeks until Blue Ocean 1.0, which is planned for the end of March. If you hadn’t picked up on the hint in my previous post, most of the Blue Ocean development team is in Australia, where it is currently the middle of summer. As I write this it is about 1000 degrees outside. Emergency measures such as air-conditioning and beer have been deployed in order to continue Blue...

This is a guest post by Patrick Wolf, Director of Product Management at CloudBees and contributor to the Jenkins project. I am very excited to announce the addition of Declarative Pipeline syntax 1.0 to Jenkins Pipeline. We think this new syntax will enable everyone involved in DevOps, regardless of expertise, to participate in the continuous delivery process. Whether creating, editing or reviewing a pipeline, having a straightforward structure helps to understand and predict the flow of the...

With only a couple of months left before Blue Ocean 1.0, which is planned for the end of March, I have been highlighting some of the good work being finished up by the developers hacking on Blue Ocean. This week was a grab bag of important behind-the-scenes features and finalising the preview of the editor. The merge of the SCM API changes also made it in. The editor has the new sheets style...

As we get closer to Blue Ocean 1.0, which is planned for the end of March, I have started highlighting some of the good stuff that has been going on. This week was 10 steps forward, and about 1.5 backwards…​ There were two releases this week, b19 and b20. Unfortunately, b20 had to be released shortly after b19 hit the Update Center as an incompatible API change in a 3rd party plugin...
