Composer 1.x

Packagist has deprecated Composer 1.x as of September 1, 2025. If upgrading to Composer 2.0 is not possible, Artifactory will provide extended support for Composer 1.x in local repositories only. For more information, see the deprecation notice from Packagist.

The Helm Chart will no longer support setting the splitServicesToContainers option to false.

End of Q3-2025

The setting splitServicesToContainers: true has been the default setting and is already the standard behavior in Helm Charts.

This enables all microservices to run in different containers in a single pod (by default, it is true)

You must change the setting to true and redeploy the Helm Chart.

For all Hugging Face repositories created prior to Artifactory 7.111.1, the Hugging Face repositories legacy layout will be deprecated in September 2025 and all repositories with the legacy layout will be automatically upgraded to the Machine Learning layout.

API Key

As notified in Artifactory 7.47.10, support for API Key was removed in a future release. To ease customer migration to reference tokens, which replaces API key, we disabled the ability to create new API keys at the end of Q3 2024. The ability to use API keys was removed at the end of Q4 2024. For more information, see JFrog API Key Deprecation Process.User ProfileJFrog API Key Deprecation Process

The deprecation process of the API Keys is follows:

    • Self-hosted Artifactory version 7.47.10 includes the option to log users' authentication methods. This allows administrators to view and warn users using API Keys regarding the upcoming deprecation. See API Key User Collection for Self-Hosted Customers.API Key User Collection for Self-Hosted Customers

    • Cloud Artifactory version 7.63.5 includes the option to view and download the list of users using API Keys regarding the upcoming deprecation. See API Key User Collection for Cloud Customers.API Key User Collection for Cloud Customers

  1. From Artifactory version 7.98, you are not authorized to create new API keys through UI or API.
