Released: July 28, 2021
CloudBees recommends that you start to prepare for the August release of Jenkins LTS as soon as possible. The August release will include a change that removes the Apache Commons Digester from Jenkins Core. If you use Jenkins LTS plugins that are not in the CloudBees Assurance Program (CAP), you should update them before upgrading your CloudBees products to ensure compatibility with the August release. If your company uses its own proprietary (non-CloudBees) plugins, CloudBees recommends that you test them against Jenkins version 2.302+ prior to the August release. As always, backing up your data before upgrading is strongly encouraged. For details about this change and a list of impacted plugins, please see our knowledge base article Commons Digester Library Removal.

v2.277.2.3
Issue
The CloudBees CasC API plugin has been promoted to the CloudBees Assurance Program (CAP). If you have previously modified the plugin-catalog.yaml file to include the CasC API plugin, when you upgrade, your controller(s) will not start properly and you may receive exceptions.
Workaround
You must edit the plugin-catalog.yaml file to remove the CasC plugin and version string: cloudbees-casc-api: {version: X.X}
, where X.X
represents the version of the CasC plugin. For more information, see Updating a plugin catalog on operations center.

v2.277.1.2
Issue
After updating an instance, the setup wizard is displayed.
Jenkins 2.277.1 removes the Upgrade Wizard that was no longer operational after Jenkins 2.0. This caused a regression for instances created before 2.4/2.7.1 LTS.
At the time of this writing, no fix is available for this issue.
Workaround
See the Jenkins upgrade guide for a workaround for this issue. On subsequent restarts, the setup wizard will no longer appear.
The March release includes important updates. If you use Jenkins LTS plugins that are not in the CloudBees Assurance Program (CAP), you should update them before upgrading your CloudBees products to ensure compatibility with the March release. If your company uses its own proprietary (non-CloudBees) plugins, CloudBees recommends that you test them against Jenkins version 2.277.1 prior to updating your CloudBees products. And, as always, backing up your data before upgrading is strongly encouraged.

v2.263.2.3
Version 2.263.2.3 fixes some critical regressions found in version 2.263.2.2 of the following products:
-
CloudBees CI
-
CloudBees Jenkins Distribution
-
CloudBees Jenkins Platform
-
CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise
Potential issues include:
-
If you use external artifact storage, it is not possible to download entire directories of archived artifacts as Zip files.
-
Zip files containing directories of workspaces, archived artifacts, and similar user-created content are missing top-level directories.
-
File handles are not closed directly whenever individual files are downloaded from workspaces, archived artifacts, and other user-created content. This could result in Jenkins running out of file handles.
CloudBees recommends that you upgrade to version 2.263.2.3 to prevent potential issues with user-created content.
