• Fix security
  issue

v2.17

Release date: 2018-01-22

• Major Feature: Add APIs for FlowNodeStorage to provide more
  granular control of when/how they write to disk 
  (JENKINS-47172)
  • Allows for deferred writes, where a FlowNode has all its actions
    attached before being written (cuts writes ~1/2 or more)
  • Provides facilities a bit like DB transactions
• Major Feature: New and MUCH more efficient pipeline FlowNode
  storage 
  (JENKINS-47173)
  • Stores all FlowNodes in a single file, allowing for much faster
    bulk streaming read/writes, and faster access.
  • Available with the performance-optimized durability setting -
    see Jenkins documentation for Pipeline Scalability for what you
    need to enable this.
• Enhancement:  More compact representation of FlowNodes by using
  XStream Aliases
  (JENKINS-49084)
  • Applies to all of the FlowNode storage engines, and reduces
    size-on-disk (and data written) by about 30%
  • Compatibility note: after this change, builds with this plugin
    version CANNOT be read by older versions of this plugin
• Feature: utility API to switch between atomic and non-atomic XStream
  serialization
• Robustness enhancement: Timeout utility tries to repeatedly
  interrupt threads and notes that this is happening
  (PR#48)
• Feature: Sandboxed access to upstream build information
  (JENKINS-31576)
• ClassFilter entries to ensure the XStream/Remoting whitelist doesn't
  break Pipeline
• Bugfix: Fix a Groovy memory leak introduced previously with the
  Timeout utility: ensure that the timeout threadpool cannot be
  lazy-initialized with a GroovyClassloader as its contextClassloader

v2.16

Release date: 2017-10-13

• JENKINS-26148 Create
  a default implementation of StepExecution.stop
• Add a WithThreadName utility to give threads more meaningful names
  for debugging

v2.15

Release date: 2017-09-26

• JENKINS-26137
  Integrate patched version of JBoss Marshalling with better
  diagnostics 
• JENKINS-38223
  /
  JENKINS-45553
  Massively improve performance of pipeline with numerous parallel
  branches by using the new isActive API from workflow-api 2.22.
• JENKINS-37324
  followup: Add an arguments column to the FlowGraphTable display
• JENKINS-36528
  Fix Environment Variables Handling: Include AbstractBuild Env vars
  in build variables
• Optimization: eliminate need for reflection when calling
  getChangeSets

v2.14

Release date: 2017-03-31

• JENKINS-42952
  Make currentBuild.duration work.
• JENKINS-42521
  Added a currentResult property and resultIsBetterOrEqualTo /
  resultIsWorseOrEqualTo methods to currentBuild and the return
  value of build.
• JENKINS-40934
  Speedup of log-related code run when adding a new step when using a
  massive number of parallel branches.
• Robustness fix noted in
  JENKINS-26137.
• Robustness fix associated with
  JENKINS-42556:
  tolerate errors encountered when printing progress of build
  resumption tasks.
