New packages for Jenkins 2.7.1

We created new native packages for Jenkins 2.7.1 today. These replace the existing packages. Due to a release process issue, the packaging (RPM, etc.) was created the same way as Jenkins 1.x LTS, resulting in problems starting Jenkins on some platforms: While we dropped support for AJP in Jenkins 2.0, some 1.x packages had it enabled by default, resulting in...

Jenkins 2 hits LTS

It’s been almost three months since we’ve released Jenkins 2.0, the first ever major version upgrade for this 10 year old project. The 2.x versions since then has been adopted by more than 20% of the users, but one segment of users who haven’t seen the benefits of Jenkins 2 is those who has been running LTS releases. But that is...

Official Jenkins LTS docker image

(This is a guest post from Michael Neale) Recently at the Docker Conference (DockerCon) the Docker Hub was announced. The hub (which includes their image building and storage service) also provides some "official" images (sometimes they call them repositories - they are really just sets of images). So after talking with all sorts of people we decided to create an official Jenkins image...

We just posted the updated Long-term Release (LTS) of 1.409.2.

Call for Testers: Upcoming LTS update

A couple of months ago Jenkins embarked on an new project, the Jenkins "LTS" (Long Term Support) release line. A LTS branch of development is common in most major open source projects, especially those with substantial corporate adoption, so this was a great step for the project as a whole. We’re now coming up on the second LTS release, which will be an incremental update to...

Jenkins Long-Term Support Release

We have released 1.409.1, our first long-term support (LTS) release, from the Jenkins project. The idea of the LTS release is to provide a second release line the favors more stability and bug fix only maintenance. This release line branches off from a bit old Jenkins release (in this case 1.409), and we will only put important backported bug fixes. We’ll...
