Major Enhancements
Configuring remotes using a factory URL (backported to 7.58)
Workspaces remotes can be added using a URL parameter attached to the factory URL used to create a new workspace. Additional workspace remotes can be defined in two different formats:
- Explicit name and URL:
{CHE-HOST}/#{GIT_URL}?remotes={{origin,https://github/...},{upstream,https://github/...},...}
- URLs only, name is implicit: first is origin, second is upstream, subsequent are fork1, fork2 and onwards:
{CHE-HOST}/#{GIT_URL}?remotes={[https://github...,https://github...,](https://github...,https//github...,)...}
Add "Git Services" tab to the User Preferences
Eclipse Che User Preferences page includes a new tab: "Git Services" (before, the only tab was "Container Registries"). This tab shows the list of git services the user has granted access to. User can revoke access to any of the git services from this tab. Supported services are GitHub (github.com or Enterprise), GitLab (SaaS and Server) or Bitbucket (Cloud and Server).
Honor devfile volumes sizes when storage strategy is per-workspace
Eclipse Che now honors the volume size specified in a devfile. That's applied when the PersistentVolume is created per-workspace. When the PV is created per-user (i.e. one PV is shared across all the workspaces of a user) the volume size is ignored.
The maximum number of running workspace per user is configurable
A new CheCluster parameter allows administrators to specify the maximum number or running workspaces per user. It can be configured editing the value spec.devEnvironments.maxNumberOfRunningWorkspacesPerUser of CheCluster custom resource.
VS Code notification to inform a developer that his workspace has been stopped and why
When a VS Code workspace is stopped (voluntary or not) the user is informed with an explanation of the cause (inactivity, run timeout, error, stopped). The user is also prompted to restart the workspace or to go back to the dashboard.
