    Announcing Go 2.4
    Body:

    The Go team is excited to announce the release of Go 2.4, ThoughtWorks Studios' Agile Release Management platform. Download now.

    Some of the key features of this release include:

    Performance Enhancements

    • Tune Go for Better Performance: Go has been tested with a large number of pipelines, agents and load. Performance will vary based on your server configuration and usage patterns. Use this guide to optimize performance.
    • Faster Dashboard: The Pipelines Dashboard renders much faster even with a large number of pipelines.
    • Faster Artifact Transfers: We reduced artifact upload and download times.
    • Other: We improved how Go manages memory.

    New Features

    Enhancements

    • Personalize the Pipelines Dashboard: This is now a user preference in Go.
    • The online documentation now has search so you can quickly get help.
    • Get the list of scheduled jobs using API.
    • Configure site urls using the server configuration UI.
    • Users will get a warning if the Go license is about to expire

    Bugs fixed

    • GO_P4_CLIENT environment variable had different behaviour when destination directory is set for perforce materials.

     

    UPGRADE NOTE: If you are upgrading from a prior version, please be aware that the upgrade to Go 2.4 may take 10 minutes or longer depending upon the size of your Go database.

    We'd like to thank everyone on this Community forum for your participation. Your comments and recommendations are invaluable for the continued success of Go.

      When adding agentAutoRegisterKey to the server config, is the key any arbitrary value? or does it need to be a specific length, encoding, hash, etc?

      Hi Scott,

      The agentAutoRegisterKey value can be any String. There's no limit on the length. The value is used for the handshake between the new agent and Go server and the file containing this key is deleted on the agent once the agent is approved. We recommend keeping the agentAutoRegisterKey a random value so that it's hard to guess..

      Thanks.
