Breaking changes
This release includes numerous break changes from the introduction of Spaces. Refer to the Octopus Deploy 2019.1 release highlights for the full details.
Octopus 2019.2
Highlights
User Invitations into Space Teams
We have added the ability to invite new users into Teams that are owned by Spaces. Previously, new Users could only be invited into System-level Teams, but now Spaces and Space Managers can be self sufficient by inviting new Users without needing to ask a more privileged user to first invite the user into a System team.
Improved Date Display
We've done some renovations around how we handle and display dates. Now, we display dates in your local timezone where possible, and if that isn't possible, we include the timezone, so it's much easier to tell when something happened if you're in a distributed team or in a different timezone to your Octopus Server. Unfortunately, this has meant we've had to make some breaking changes, but we believe the impact will be low.
Breaking Changes
- The
LastSeen
property onoctopusservernodes/ping
now returns an ISO8601 date instead of a formatted string - The human-readable
Completed
date on aTask
is now formatted with a timezone - The human-readable
Published
date on aPackage
is now formatted with a timezone - The
Rank
,LastSeen
andIsOffline
properties have been removed from the/api/OctopusServerNodes/{id}
endpoint, and are now available from a new endpoint/api/OctopusServerNodes/summary
- The
EffectiveExpiryDate
on the/api/licenses/licenses-current-status
endpoint is now formatted with aDate
(yyyy-MM-dd) rather thanDateTimeOffset
data type. - The third party libraries we use to read certificates have been upgraded to newer versions which include tighter certificate verification. This may reject incorrectly formatted certificates.
- The
write-verbose
PowerShell Cmdlet now mimics native PowerShell behavior more closely -write-verbose "myvar = " $myvar
is no longer valid and will throw apositional parameter cannot be found
error. Please usewrite-verbose "myvar = $myvar"
instead.
