Added shortcuts to the expressions which will be helpful in writing/editing the rules
Added a modal for branch deletion on publishing the change set
Sample stitch repository which will help customers to kick start their stitch usage.

Performance improvements

Improved efficiency for Undeploy, Repository read, Dictionary reads, Permission access, and Artifact copy in overthere host with the place holder replacements. Hence all deployments must be faster moving forward.

Recommendations for hardware resource based on our performance data. (need to be validated).

Improved performance in setups with MSSQL database.

Security update

Upgraded to Scala 2.13.x
Upgraded to latest react components in UI
Get Deploy and Platform to run on JDK11 without JDK8 compatible binaries

Debugging

Ability to collect better debug information to reproduce customer issues locally. Added additional information to debug data which is sent by customer to support representative.

LDAP integration

Important: If you are updating Deploy to v.10.1, you can copy the security xml file from conf/deployit-security.xml and make sure you remove the security:authentication-manager section from the xml file:

<security:authentication-manager alias="authenticationManager">
<security:authentication-provider ref="rememberMeAuthenticationProvider" />
<security:authentication-provider ref="XlAuthenticationProvider" />
<security:authentication-provider ref="ldapProvider" />
</security:authentication-manager>

Upgraded from earlier version

Installation improvements by adding automation to reduce number of steps for the install
Added Helm charts for deploying Digital.ai Release into AKS and GKE
Ability to Re-install Deployment without delta calculations
Enhance Read Only permission for Viewing/Tracking deployments
Application rollback to previous successful version (Huge)
Ability to clean up stale worker process
Ability to upgrade an existing K8 installation using the Helm charts made available in Q4 2020

Centralized config changes
- Refactoring to move all configurations into a centralized location
Plugin manager or integrations manager, now available in Deploy

Pendo integration—In-app guides and usage analytics

The new guide and analytics module allows two things:

Provide in-app guides and how-tos
Collect usage analytics

This module runs from the client browser and will contact an external server to download guides and send anonymous usage data to that server. This technology is provided by Pendo.

The in-app guides and usage analytics is enabled by default and can be disabled on the new Settings > Features tab in the Deploy UI. This setting is only accessible to Admins.

For more information see, Configure Feature Settings.

Known issues

As of Deploy v.10.1, GCP will not work if you do a parallel deployment to the same host.
Deploy v.10.1, Unable to install the Deploy as a service if the service command length exceeds 32768 characters.
