Upgrading from Earlier versions

• See the Upgrading Guide

Notes

New Features:

• SCM/Git plugin:
  • works in Cluster mode
  • improvements to jobs page load speed
  • can disable SCM status checks in the GUI
• Projects:
  • Set a Label to display instead of the name
  • new default: projectsStorageType defaults to db (see below)
• Job reference steps:
  • Can reference jobs via UUID as well as group/name, so you can rename jobs #3115
  • Deleting a job will check if any steps reference the job and warn you
  • Automatically pass job options to the job reference #3056
  • Notifications for referenced jobs are triggered
  • Statistics (success/duration) of referenced jobs are updated
  • Timeout for referenced jobs is enforced
  • Choose behavior if the referenced job is disabled: fail or pass
  • (see #3040)
• Job Options:
  • Set a Label to display instead of the name
  • Multivalue option delimiter is available in data context as ${option.name.delimiter}/$RD_OPTION_NAME_DELIMITER
• Plugins: admins can disable/enable plugins for a project in the GUI or via project config #3122
• Job Node Threadcount: can use an option value
• Job Notification:
  • Can send a notification if the job duration exceeds an absolute time, or relative to the job’s average #3087
  • Separate notifications for failure vs. retryable failure (i.e.) #2864
• Job Definition visibility ACL:
  • A new ACL access level view is a subset of the read access level for jobs, and does not allow users to view the “Definition” tab of a Job, or download the XML/YAML definitions.
• Plugin development:
  • dynamic list of Select value inputs for Java plugins
  • Documentation for LogFilter and ContentConverter plugins added
  • Groovy Plugin DSL added for LogFilter and ContentConverter plugins
• Execution View:
  • Can link or redirect to the Log Output tab for Executions
• Internationalization:
  • Improvements, and French translation added by PeekLeon! 👏👏 🇫🇷
• API:
  • Added endpoints for writeable Resource Model Sources (such as built in File plugin)
  • List project sources, retrieve node definitions from each source
  • Writeable sources allow updating node data via API

Bug fixes:

• many

Potentially breaking changes:

RPM spec:

The rundeck user/group is now created within system UID ranges #3195.

ACLs: Edit Project Configuration/Nodes GUI access level requirements changed:

Previously: GUI actions “Project > Edit Configuration” and “Project > Edit Nodes” required admin project access. Now: only configure level access is required.

NOTE: API behavior was always this way, so this change simply aligns the access requirements.

Potential security implications:

• users/roles granted configure access to a project will now be able to modify Project Nodes or Configuration via the GUI
• the same users/roles would already have this access if using the API

See: #3084

ACLs: Job Definition visibility

A new ACL access level view is a subset of the read access level for jobs, and does not allow users to view the “Definition” tab of a Job, or download the XML/YAML definitions.

ACLs which allow read to Jobs, will work as before. To disallow Job Definition viewing/downloading, you should change your ACLs to only allow view access.

Project Storage Type is now db by default:

If you want to continue using filesystem storage for project config/readme/motd files, you will need to set this in your rundeck-config.properties before upgrading:

rundeck.projectsStorageType=filesystem

Upgrading an existing filesystem configuration to db is automatic, and project configs/readme/motd will be loaded into DB storage at system startup.

To encrypt the DB storage, you will need to enable encryption for the “Project Configuration” storage layer.
