Blue Ocean Dev Log: March Week #3

Published on 3/17/2017 by Michael Neale

    We’re counting down the weeks until Blue Ocean 1.0, and we’re getting close! In this past week, the first release candidate has gone out to the Update Center, along with a new Pipeline Editor plugin. The Blue Ocean Pipeline Editor is its own plugin which integrates into Blue Ocean, so this was a coordinated release with Blue Ocean 1.0 rc1.

    Noteworthy this week:

    • RC1 includes the Blue Ocean Pipeline Editor, which is integrates support for branch editing and saving the Pipeline back to GitHub (also referred to as "round-tripping").

    • Many dependencies have been upgraded

    • Per-stage raw logs can be downloaded, this will be included in the next release.

    • Editor design improvements

    • Fixes for overflowing text

    • The new sleeker favorite card design has been released, so you can fit more favorites on your screen!

    The Blue Ocean Pipeline Editor is better integrated into a few different screens in Blue Ocean. For example, you can open the editor from the results screen (top right):
