<h1>Release Notes for Buildbot 0.8.12<a class="headerlink" href="#release-notes-for-buildbot-0-8-12" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>The following are the release notes for Buildbot 0.8.12.
This version was released on the 20th of April, 2015.</p>
<div class="section" id="master">
<h2>Master<a class="headerlink" href="#master" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Requirements:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Buildbot works python-dateutil >= 1.5</li>
</ul>
<div class="section" id="features">
<h3>Features<a class="headerlink" href="#features" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul>
<li><p class="first">GitHub change hook now supports application/json format.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Buildbot is now compatible with Gerrit v2.6 and higher.</p>
<p>To make this happen, the return result of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">reviewCB</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">summaryCB</span></code> callback has changed from</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">message</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">verified</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">review</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>to</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="p">{</span><span class="s1">'message'</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="n">message</span><span class="p">,</span>
<span class="s1">'labels'</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="p">{</span><span class="s1">'label-name'</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="n">value</span><span class="p">,</span>
<span class="o">...</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The implications are:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>there are some differences in behaviour: only those labels that were provided will be updated</li>
<li>Gerrit server must be able to provide a version, if it can't the <a class="reference internal" href="../manual/cfg-statustargets.html#status-GerritStatusPush" title="GerritStatusPush"><code class="xref bb bb-status docutils literal"><span class="pre">GerritStatusPush</span></code></a> will not work</li>
</ul>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">If you have an old style <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">reviewCB</span></code> and/or <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">summaryCB</span></code> implemented, these will still work, however there could be more labels updated than anticipated.</p>
</div>
<p>More detailed information is available in <a class="reference internal" href="../manual/cfg-statustargets.html#status-GerritStatusPush" title="GerritStatusPush"><code class="xref bb bb-status docutils literal"><span class="pre">GerritStatusPush</span></code></a> section.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Buildbot now supports plugins.
They allow Buildbot to be extended by using components distributed independently from the main code.
They also provide for a unified way to access all components.
When previously the following construction was used:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">buildbot.kind.other.bits</span> <span class="k">import</span> <span class="n">ComponentClass</span>
<span class="o">...</span> <span class="n">ComponentClass</span> <span class="o">...</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>the following construction achieves the same result:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">buildbot.plugins</span> <span class="k">import</span> <span class="n">kind</span>
<span class="o">...</span> <span class="n">kind</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">ComponentClass</span> <span class="o">...</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Kinds of components that are available this way are described in <a class="reference internal" href="../manual/plugins.html"><span class="doc">Plugin Infrastructure in Buildbot</span></a>.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">While the components can be still directly imported as <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">buildbot.kind.other.bits</span></code>, this might not be the case after Buildbot v1.0 is released.</p>
</div>
</li>
<li><p class="first"><a class="reference internal" href="../manual/cfg-changesources.html#chsrc-GitPoller" title="GitPoller"><code class="xref bb bb-chsrc docutils literal"><span class="pre">GitPoller</span></code></a> now supports detecting new branches</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first"><a class="reference internal" href="../manual/cfg-buildsteps.html#step-MasterShellCommand" title="MasterShellCommand"><code class="xref bb bb-step docutils literal"><span class="pre">MasterShellCommand</span></code></a> now renders the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">path</span></code> argument.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">ShellMixin</span></code>: the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">workdir</span></code> can now be overridden in the call to <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">makeRemoteShellCommand</span></code>.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">GitHub status target now allows to specify a different base URL for the API (usefule for GitHub enterprise installations).
This feature requires <cite>txgithub</cite> of version 0.2.0 or better.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">GitHub change hook now supports payload validation using shared secret, see <a class="reference internal" href="../manual/cfg-statustargets.html#github-hook"><span class="std std-ref">GitHub hook</span></a> for details.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Added StashStatusPush status hook for Atlassian Stash</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Builders can now have multiple "tags" associated with them. Tags can be used in various status classes as filters (eg, on the waterfall page).</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first"><a class="reference internal" href="../manual/cfg-statustargets.html#status-MailNotifier" title="MailNotifier"><code class="xref bb bb-status docutils literal"><span class="pre">MailNotifier</span></code></a> no longer forces SSL 3.0 when <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">useTls</span></code> is true.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">GitHub change hook now supports function as codebase argument.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">GitHub change hook now supports pull_request events.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Trigger</span></code>: the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">getSchedulersAndProperties</span></code> customization method has been backported from Nine.
This provides a way to dynamically specify which schedulers (and the properties for that scheduler) to trigger at runtime.</p>
</li>
</ul>

<h3>Fixes<a class="headerlink" href="#fixes" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li>GitHub change hook now correctly responds to ping events.</li>
<li><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">buildbot.steps.http</span></code> steps now correctly have <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">url</span></code> parameter renderable</li>
<li><a class="reference internal" href="../manual/cfg-buildsteps.html#step-MasterShellCommand" title="MasterShellCommand"><code class="xref bb bb-step docutils literal"><span class="pre">MasterShellCommand</span></code></a> now correctly logs the working directory where it was run.</li>
<li>With Git(), force the updating submodules to ensure local changes by the build are overwitten.
This both ensures more consistent builds and avoids errors when updating submodules.</li>
<li>With Git(), make sure 'git submodule sync' is called before 'git submodule update' to update
stale remote urls (<a class="reference external" href="http://trac.buildbot.net/ticket/2155" title="bug #2155">bug #2155</a>).</li>
