Jenkins project congratulates all users and contributors with the New Year! Let’s take a look at some changes this year.
Highlights
We released major features likeBlueOceanandDeclarative Pipeline
These features offer a new user experience in Jenkins Web UI, powered byJenkins Pipeline.
In Jenkins 2.54 we updated the Java minimal requirement to Java 8 (announcement).
Plugin CI has been moved to ourJenkins-on-Jenkins instance. All plugins are being built by Jenkins Pipeline with a specialpipeline library
We adopted theJenkins Enhancement Proposal (JEP)process for major changes in Jenkins. There are already JEPs under review:
Some stats
