Artifactory 7.136.0 SaaS

Improved Helm metadata processing

Helm metadata processing has been improved by eliminating redundant version comparison during repository indexing. This optimization reduces CPU overhead during index.yaml generation and virtual repository rewrites, significantly improving performance and scalability for repositories with a large number of chart versions.

Improved Pub error handling and status codes

For Pub clients older than version 2.15.0, error handling and status codes have been changed to align with proper authorization behavior. When a user without write permissions tries to download a package from a remote, virtual, or smart remote repository, Artifactory will now return HTTP 403 (Forbidden) instead of 404.

AQL Limit Applied to the Artifactory Server to Protect the Database Server from Overload

An AQL limit has been applied to the Artifactory Server to protect the Database Server from overload caused by excessive AQL search requests issued by end-users. The AQL limit includes concurrency limits at both global and per-user levels. This ensures that the database server has enough remaining capacity to serve other critical activities, such as upload and download.

Enhanced UI Support for DNF Client in RPM Packages

This release adds the DNF client option to RPM Set Me Up instructions. While Artifactory has long supported both YUM and DNF clients, the Set Me Up instructions previously only displayed YUM option. Artifactory is prioritizing the DNF client to align with modern RPM-based distributions where DNF is the default package manager.

Draft Release Bundle v2 versions

You can now use the Create Release Bundle v2 Version REST API to create an unlocked, mutable draft. Use the new Update Draft Release Bundle v2 Content REST API to add sources—such as artifacts, packages, builds, or bundles—as needed. When the draft is final, use the new Finalize Draft Release Bundle v2 Version REST API to lock the bundle and make it immutable. Please note that evidence cannot be added to a draft Release Bundle version until it is finalized. For more information about draft versions, including other limitations, see Create a Draft Release Bundle v2 Version.Create Release Bundle v2 VersionUpdate Draft Release Bundle v2 ContentFinalize Draft Release Bundle v2 VersionCreate a Draft Release Bundle v2 Version
