v4.6.0

What's Changed

🔒 Security
  • Stop running Git hooks from shared mirrors when git-mirrors-path is set, so anyone who can write to a mirror can't run code in the next job that updates it. Hooks put in a mirror on purpose no longer run by @isaacsu in buildkite/agent#4501
✨ Added

Job errors are an experimental feature that's only enabled for Buildkite's own pipelines. It isn't available to other organizations, and it may change or be removed.

🐛 Fixed
  • Correct the --cancel-cleanup-timeout help text: it gives a stopping agent time to upload the job log, not artifacts by @scadu in buildkite/agent#4514
🔧 Changed
  • Stop sending experimental buildkite-agent job capture-error reports for a job once Buildkite refuses one because the job's error quota is full or error capture isn't available by @123sarahj123 in buildkite/agent#4497

Upgrading

Follow the v7 upgrade guide before updating. Remove or replace retired parameters in parameter files and deployment automation. If you use a custom AMI through ImageId or ImageIdParameter, rebuild it from the v7 base AMI and update it in the same stack update; a v6-based AMI might not boot under the v7 template depending on the configuration.

Perform a CloudFormation stack update with the following URL:

https://s3.amazonaws.com/buildkite-aws-stack/v7.7.0/aws-stack.yml

If you want to launch a new stack, you can use this link (make sure not to use your production AWS account, create a new one for CI):
