v3.63.0 (2024-02-14)

Full Changelog

• Interpolation on Windows should be done in a case-insensitive manner to be
  compatible with Batch scripts and Powershell. This was working correctly up
  until some refactoring in v3.59.0.

  For example, this pipeline:

  env:
    FOO: bar
  steps:
  - command: echo $Foo $FOO

  should now be correctly interpolated on Windows as:

  env:
    FOO: bar
  steps:
  - command: echo bar bar

  Interpolation on other platforms is unchanged.

• Our documented interpolation rules
  implies that variables from the agent environment have higher precedence than
  variables defined by the job environment ("we merge in some of the variables
  from the agent environment").

  Suppose the agent environment contains FOO=runtime_foo. The pipeline

  env:
    BAR: $FOO
    FOO: pipeline_foo
  steps:
  - command: echo hello world

  would in previous releases be interpolated as:

  env:
    BAR: runtime_foo
    FOO: pipeline_foo
  steps:
  - command: echo hello world

  On the other hand, the pipeline

  env:
    FOO: pipeline_foo
    BAR: $FOO
  steps:
  - command: echo hello world

  would be interpolated to become

  env:
    FOO: pipeline_foo
    BAR: pipeline_foo
  steps:
  - command: echo hello world

  We think this is inconsistent with the agent environment taking precedence,
  and if users would like to interpolate $FOO as the value of the pipeline
  level definition of FOO, they should ensure the agent environment does not
  contain FOO.
