Highlights
New Hybrid Solution Provided through the Distribution Edges
Self-hosted customers who have an existing JFrog Distribution in place may sometimes require the option of adding additional JFrog Artifactory instances in the cloud. This hybrid setup is now supported through the JFrog Distribution Edges Add-on, a commercial offering for Self-hosted customers to leverage JFrog SaaS for software distribution. This add-on enables Self-hosted customers toadd cloud-based Edge nodes managed by JFrog (software-as-a-service) and fully utilize them for content distribution. See Configuring Distribution Edges Using the Distribution Edges Add-on.
New Pairing Token UI and API
Added new UI in the JFrog Platform for a pairing token, which establishes trust between different JFrog microservices. The pairing token is an access token that is used for the initial pairing flow. Because the token is a limited access token, it is dedicated to a specific task and is short-lived. Once trust is established, the services can continue using the standard token-based authentication for communication. Pairing tokens replace the join key that was used in the past in the JFrog Platform to link between services. This type of token is only designed to link cross-topologies (i.e., locally, and not within a JPD). See Generating Scoped and Pairing Tokens.
Resolved Issues
Jira Issue | Description |
|---|---|
Fixed an issue whereby the API Get all Versions of all Release Bundles returned an empty array of artifacts for every release bundle. Both this API and the Get Release Bundle Versions API failed to paginate properly because they always returned the full list. | |
Fixed an issue whereby usernames longer than 64 (and up to 255) chars were not supported. | |
Fixed an issue whereby Edge nodes were not visible if a user was referred to in multiple permission targets. | |
Fixed an issue whereby a Mission Control connected to the remote JFrog Platform environment, was resolving the Artifactory URL improperly. | |
Fixed a slowness issue in the release bundles list page. | |
Fixed the naming for Edge Webhook: the Artifactory Release Bundle domain has been renamed Destination to consolidate all under the same Release Bundle domain. |
