What’s New

Wait and queue times can now be accessed for each job in the new UI. Hover over the i next to the Duration at the top of the job details page, and the wait time and queue time appear as a tooltip. This information has been added to the new UI to make it easier to get information on edge-case failures in your pipelines.

What’s New

The Legacy Jobs view in the new UI provides an overview for all jobs, regardless of whether they have pipeline processing enabled. We are aiming to move all customers over to pipeline processing, and this view has been added to provide the information you need for all projects during this transition period. Access the Legacy Jobs view at the end of the Pipelines List page.

What’s New

What’s New

As we build the new UI, faster page-load is important to us. We initially built the Step Output section to load with react-virtualized, meaning that only the visible rows were rendered. This allowed us to show colorized output with an even faster load/scrolling time than the old UI. In theory it was brilliant, in practice it broke the ability to use native browser search tools like CMD+F to find specific words before or after the rendered text. During user research, we watched many CircleCI users attempt to CMD+F in the Step Output, and not find what we were looking for. As a result we pulled out react-virtualized and enhanced colorized output from the step output. Color we can compromise on, usability we cannot.

What’s New

Next-generation Go image, and new base image are now stable. Read more on the Discuss post.

What’s New

Resource type and class is now displayed in the new UI for each job. This helps customers optimize pipelines, debug runs that fail due to lack of resources, and identify projects that could build faster with a different resource class.

What’s New

The redesigned Project Settings page is now available in the new UI. Change SSH keys, Environment variables, API permissions, JIRA integrations, and more.

What’s New

What’s New

The Organization Settings page in the New UI is now live. Organization Settings include contexts, environment variables, security permissions, and VCS integrations.

What’s New

The latest commit message for each pipline is now visible on the Pipelines overview page to make identification easier.

What’s New

You can now page through older Pipelines using the See More button at the bottom of the Pipelines Page in the new UI. Up until now only the last 20 Pipelines were available. Please note that due to API contraints, paging through older Pipelines will disable the live update of currently running Pipelines on the page.

What’s New in Release 2.18.03

Features

Following our release of Windows support on the hosted offering of CircleCI, running VM-based jobs in Windows environments is now supported on CircleCI Server instances running in AWS.

What’s New

Branch and “My Pipelines” filter options are now available in the new UI. Both are easily accessible at the top of the Pipelines page. Filter options now include:

What’s New

You can now cancel and rerun workflows from the Workflow Detail page. Previously this functionality was only available from the Job Detail page. This change was made after data analysis indicated that most users were rerunning workflows from the workflow level rather than the job level on the old UI.

What’s New

Manual approval of hold jobs is now fully functional in the new UI. To approve a job, click the name of your workflow from either the Job Detail page breadcrumb, or the Pipelines List page to navigate to the Workflow Map. You will see the approval job has a purple status icon. Click the job and a button will pop-up to confirm approval.

What’s New

Version 2 config with pipelines enabled will now automatically have the CIRCLE_COMPARE_URL injected into the job configuration. Previously, if you referenced CIRCLE_COMPARE_URL in a version 2 config, then turned on pipelines, it would disappear. This fixes that issue. For version 2.1 config we do not automatically inject CIRCLE_COMPARE_URL. Instead, we have exposed metadata about the pipeline for you to use more granularly. Mosts users end up parsing out CIRCLE_COMPARE_URL, so instead we did that work for you. In version 2.1 config you can now do the following:

What’s New

The workflows graph is now available in the new UI, with improvements in the way job connectivity is displayed, compared to the old workflows graph. This core feature displays a visual representation of how jobs fit together within your workflow.

What’s New

What’s New

After loads of great feedback we have determined our Job Details page in the new UI now adds far more value than the old UI equivalent. We are beginning to automatically opt-in customers who will benefit most from the new view – those who primarily use the Job Details page (as opposed to needing the Workflows Map). A welcome message will be displayed on arrival and you can opt-out at any time.

What’s New

We’ve released our first macOS 10.15 Catalina image along with Xcode 11.2 Beta 2. Read our discuss post for more on highlights and usage.

What’s New

You can now find Artifacts the new UI Job Details page. We started with a flat list after numerous customer interviews. It’s no surprise that “find” is our friend. We will eventually build a search bar to filter artifacts - but hey, cntrl-f is easy. Please give it a whirl and share your feedback.
