JFrog Artifactory 6.12 introduces several new features and enhancements, underscoring the company's commitment to quality and user-centric updates. This release is a step toward JFrog's Unified Experience and JFrog Pipelines, offering new capabilities such as support for Smart Remote Repositories on Edge Nodes, which facilitates artifact pulling from other Artifactory instances with the necessary licenses. The platform now also supports S3 cloud storage using the official AWS SDK without requiring changes for users of the JetS3t library. Additionally, a new feature in Virtual Docker repositories allows them to pull the latest Docker images based on modification time rather than resolution order, enhancing functionality in multi-site environments. Users can explore the full details of these updates and more in the release notes.
