  • Release: 0.12
  • Published: December 21, 2018
  • Functional scope: knowledge management, Agile management, continuous delivery, test management, and microservices development framework

Here is a detailed version of the update for you.

New features

Knowledge management

  • You can set permissions for unlogged users to access documents or Spaces in a new Wiki.
  • Added the ability for the Wiki editor to set font color and background color while editing.
  • New Wiki editor shortcut Ctrl + S for quick save.
  • New Issue macro selected to obtain the completion status of the issue is real-time access function.
  • New issue macro that can be searched when selecting an item.
  • Added the ability for the tree browser on the left side of the Wiki to automatically locate the user’s current page location.
  • Added the ability for a Wiki space widget on a project or organization’s front page to guide users to create Spaces when no space is available.

Agile management

  • New organization layer problem setting module: including problem type setting, state machine setting, problem property three parts.
  1. Problem type setting: includes problem type and problem type scheme. Manage the problem types of agile service and test service uniformly, combine some problem types into problem type solutions, and associate projects to determine the problem types of agile and test service in the project.

  1. State machine Settings: includes state machines and state machine schemes. You can set up a state machine, which is a flow of states for different problem types. The combination of problem type and state machine is applied to the project to determine the scheme of all problem type flow in the project. (A state machine scheme can contain multiple state machines and associated problems, and only draft state machine releases are applied to associated projects.)

Different problem types and different state units are combined to form the state machine scheme. In this version, the project will be given a default state machine scheme when it is initialized. If you do not want to use the default scheme, the organization administrator can edit the state machine scheme here to change the problematic flow scheme in the project.

If the state machine scheme is edited and the draft state machine scheme is edited, to make the draft state machine scheme take effect in the project, publish the draft state machine scheme; otherwise, the original state machine scheme is used in the project.

  1. New problem attributes: including status and priority. You can set the status of a problem in a project at a certain time and the presentation of the urgency of the problem in the project.

  • Problem Details Added The ability to add Wiki documents: Associate a problem with a Wiki so that users can view more details about the problem in related documents.
  • New version details filtering function: Version details support advanced filtering.
  • New Active Sprint issues drag sort feature: Issues on the active Sprint panel support drag sort (story swimlane stories cannot be dragged).
  • New active Sprint member filtering function: Active sprint supports filtering of all members under the project.
  • 2019 statutory holidays are added to work calendar.
  • Version details Added issue link.
  • Release Version The expected release date is added.

Continuous delivery

  • Added the application development permission assignment function, supporting the configuration of specific development operators for each application.

  • Added the configuration mapping function, which supports adding configuration mappings in each environment.
  • Added ciphertext function, support to add ciphertext in each environment, can be used to store small pieces of sensitive data K8S resources, such as passwords, tokens, or keys.
  • Added instance events to view event records of job and POD instances.

  • Added the certificate management function at the organization layer. The certificates created at the organization layer can be used to create certificates for each project in the organization.
  • Add Instance Under Deployment See more details, including: ports, data volumes, health check, host Settings, environment variables, labels.
  • Added the creation of a test application that can only be used for automated testing.
  • When creating application templates, cluster modules, and environment modules, the status in processing is added to resolve the delay caused by asynchronous processing.
  • Added the function of automatic page refresh, which can be set by clicking the automatic refresh button next to all refresh buttons.
  • The CrtManager plug-in is automatically added to the cluster to enable the cluster environment to properly use the certificate application function.
  • Added the permission to view dashboards and reports, which is related to application permissions and environment permissions.
  • Added the instance name customization function when creating an instance.
  • The name of the cluster connected to the environment is added to the environment card.

Test management

  • Add automatic test module.

Create test applications in continuous delivery services based on test framework templates (currently supporting MOcha + CHAI API test frameworks) and store test scripts in the application. In the test management module, the Choerodon Agent is used for multi-environment scheduling to run the test application. And return the test report to the test management service for parsing and then import the results into the test management module data. Generate visual reports, test loops, test execution, and more.

Microservices development framework

  • Added an API overview for platform administrators and platform developers to see how the API is being called.

  • Added authorization management, allowing users to view and manage their own authorization information.
  • Task scheduling Create a task add a notification object. When the task status changes, it sends a message to the notification object.
  • The system configuration platform password policy is added.
  • The system configuration platform logo and navigation bar graphic icon support clipping.
  • Add system announcements that platform administrators can send to the entire platform.

  • Added password reset function to user management list page.
  • Send Settings configures the in-station message type and whether to allow receive configuration.
  • The organization layer and the project layer add transaction instances.
  • Transaction instance add view by task.
  • By default, a transaction instance fails to execute and sends an intra-site message to the trigger.
