Buildbot

Bug fixes

- Fixed JSON decoding error when sending build properties to www change hooks
on Python 3.
- Buildbot no longer attempts to start builds that it can prove will have
unsatisfied locks.
- Don't run builds that request images or sizes on instances started with
different images or sizes.

Features

- The Buildbot master Docker image at https://hub.docker.com/r/buildbot/ has
been upgraded to use Python 3.7 by default.
- Builder page has been improved with a smoothed build times plot, and a new
success rate plot.
- Allow the Buildbot master initial start timeout to be configurable.
- An API to check whether an already started instance of a latent worker is
compatible with what's required by a build that is about to be started.
- Add support for v2 of the Vault key-value secret engine in the
`SecretInVault` secret provider.

Deprecations and Removals

- Build.canStartWithWorkerForBuilder static method has been made private and
renamed to _canAcquireLocks.
- The Buildbot master Docker image based on Python 2.7 has been removed in
favor of a Python 3.7 based image.
- Builder.canStartWithWorkerForBuilder method has been removed. Use
Builder.canStartBuild.

Bug fixes
---------

- Fixed missing buildrequest owners in the builder page (4207,
3904)
- Fixed display of the buildrequest number badge text in the builder page when
on hover.
- Improved FileUpload efficiency (3709)
- Fix usage of master paths when doing Git operations on worker (4268)

Improved Documentation
----------------------

- Misc improvement in Git source build step documentation.
- Improve documentation of AbstractLatentWorker.
- Improve the documentation of the Buildbot concepts by removing unneeded
details to other pages.

Features
--------

- Added a page that lists all pending buildrequests (4239)
- Builder page now has a plot displaying the evolution of build times over time
- Add method ``getResponsibleUsersForBuild`` in
:py:class:`~buildbot.notifier.NotifierBase` so that users can override
recipients, for example to skip authors of changes.
- Added SSL proxy capability to base web application's developer test setup
(``gulp dev proxy --host the-buildbot-host --secure``).
- The Material design Web UI has been removed as unmaintained. It may be
brought back if a maintainer steps up.
- Add define parameter to RpmBuild to specify additional --define parameters.

Bug fixes
---------

- Fix the umask parameter example to make it work with both Python 2.x and 3.x.
- Fix build-change association for multi-codebase builds in the console view..
- Fixed builders page doesn't list workers in multi-master configuration
(4326)
- Restricted groups added by :py:class:`~buildbot.www.oauth2.GitHubAuth`'s
``getTeamsMembership`` option to only those teams to which the user belongs.
Previously, groups were added for all teams for all organizations to which
the user belongs.
- Fix 'Show old workers' combo behavior.

Features
--------

- GitHub teams added to a user's ``groups`` by
:py:class:`~buildbot.www.oauth2.GitHubAuth`'s ``getTeamsMembership`` option
are now added by slug as well as by name. This means a team named "Bot
Builders" in the organization "buildbot" will be added as both ``buildbot/Bot
Builders`` and ``buildbot/bot-builders``.
- Make ``urlText`` renderable for the
:py:class:`~buildbot.steps.transfer.FileUpload` build step.
- Added ``noticeOnChannel`` option to :bb:reporter:`IRC` to send notices
instead of messages to channels. This was an option in v0.8.x and removed in
v0.9.0, which defaulted to sending notices. The v0.8.x default of sending
messages is now restored.

Reverts
-------

- Reverted: Fix git submodule support when using `sshPrivateKey` and `sshHostKey` because it broke other use cases (4316)
In order to have this feature to work, you need to keep your master in 1.4.0, and make sure your worker ``buildbot.tac`` are installed in the same path as your master.

Bug fixes
---------

- Fix `Build.getUrl()` to not ignore virtual builders.
- Fix git submodule support when using `sshPrivateKey` and `sshHostKey`
settings by passing ssh data as absolute, not relative paths.
- Fixed :bb:step:`P4` for change in latest version of `p4 login -p`.
- :py:class:`buildbot.reporters.irc.IrcStatusBot` no longer encodes messages
before passing them on to methods of its Twisted base class to avoid posting
the ``repr()`` of a bytes object when running on Python 3.

Features
--------

- Added new :bb:step:`GitPush` step to perform git push operations.
- Objects returned by :ref:`renderer` now are able to pass extra arguments to
the rendered function via `withArgs` method.

Test Suite
----------

- Test suite has been improved for readability by adding a lot of ``inlineCallbacks``
- Fixed tests which didn't wait for ``assertFailure``'s returned deferred.
- The test suite now runs on Python 3.7 (mostly deprecation warnings from dependencies shut down)

=====================================

Bug fixes
---------

- buildbot-worker docker image no longer use pidfile. This allows to
auto-restart a docker worker upon crash.
- GitLab v3 API is deprecated and has been removed from http://gitlab.com, so
we now use v4. (:issue:`4143`)

Features
--------

- -:bb:step:`Git` now supports `sshHostKey` parameter to specify ssh public
host key for fetch operations.
- -:bb:step:`Git` now supports `sshPrivateKey` parameter to specify private ssh
key for fetch operations.
- -:bb:chsrc:`GitPoller` now supports `sshHostKey` parameter to specify ssh
public host key for fetch operations. This feature is supported on git 2.3
and newer.
- -:bb:chsrc:`GitPoller` now supports `sshPrivateKey` parameter to specify
private ssh key for fetch operations. This feature is supported on git 2.3
and newer.
- Github hook token validation now uses ``hmac.compare_digest()`` for better security

Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------

- Removed support for GitLab v3 API ( GitLab < 9 ).
