  • Remove the ability to download update center metadata using the user's browser (deprecated since 2015). Jenkins will no longer inform about available updates without a connection to update sites.

  • Remove built-in support for CCtray (cc.xml) files. To restore this feature, install the CCtray XML Plugin. (issue 40750)
  • Adjust stream flushing behavior for code running remotely on agents for better performance. This may lead to loss of messages for plugins which print to a build log from the agent machine but do not flush their output.

  • Modified to create a shell script file in the system-specific temporary directory on each node, instead of the workspace. (issue 183)
  • Fixed a serious bug where saving the job configuration is done before reflecting the submitted configuration, instead of after.

If you are using 1.69/1.70, you can work around this problem by making changes, submitting it, then reopen the config page and submit that one more time.

What's new in 1.70 (01-06-2007)

  • Added a new listener SCMListener so that plugins can do something when change set is determined for a build. This is useful for integration with other systems.

You may also wish to download the log file from this URL and browse offline in a text viewer designed for large files.
  • Persist auto refresh mode for session in a cookie. (issue 130)
  • Fixed CVS update bug introduced in 1.64. (issue 190)

  • Fixed a bug that occasionally prevents fingerprints from being displayed, when files are created outside Hudson.
  • Added a mechanism to perform form field validation remotely. The first one to use this is the subversion executable location field in the system configuration.

  • the value entered for the .cvspass field is now validated on the fly.
  • Added a link from the system config screen to check the cvs client program version, to assist trouble shooting.
