v7.0.0 Huzzah

on GitHub

Agent v4 removes deprecated functionality and changes several defaults. Most features and fixes developed before v4.0.0 were backported to v3; the following highlights changes that may require action before upgrading.

Breaking changes

• Removed flags and configuration: Removed flags cause Agent commands to fail, while removed environment variables and configuration options are silently ignored. Check custom Agent settings, AgentEnvFileUrl, hooks, plugins, and scripts against the Agent upgrade guide.
• Pipeline uploads: Remove --reject-secrets from upload commands; the flag no longer exists and causes uploads to fail. Interpolated secrets are now rejected by default, including in trigger-step build.env values. Use --allow-secrets only if allowing them is intentional.
• Hook ordering: post-checkout, post-command, and pre-exit hooks now run in reverse setup order: plugins last-to-first, repository, then Agent. Review hooks that depend on another hook's output or cleanup. The legacy-post-hook-order experiment temporarily restores v3 ordering.
• Tracing and metrics: OpenTracing and direct DogStatsD support are removed in favor of OpenTelemetry. Custom telemetry configuration, dashboards, and alerts may need updating for renamed metrics and changed labels.
• Custom checkout and parallelism settings: Git commit verification now defaults to strict; previous empty or warn settings must be replaced with strict or off. spawn-with-priority no longer accepts booleans: use static, ascending, or descending.

See the Agent v4.0.0 release notes for the complete breaking-change list.

Subsequent updates

• v4.0.1: Fix multipart artifact uploads above 5 GiB and retained hook file handles.
• v4.0.2: Add a force option to cache save and experimental Origin CloneKit mirror seeding; fix cache retention and restore behavior.
• v4.0.3: Make cache save/restore fail-open by default and exit with status 27 when registration rejects an unacquirable job.
