Summary

Octopus Deploy 2019.4 focuses on enhancing the feedback loop in CI/CD pipelines by introducing features such as build information and work item tracking to improve traceability, release notes templates for easier change documentation, and integration with Jira for two-way issue and deployment links. Users are encouraged to update their Octopus Deploy build server plugins and install the Jira plugin to make full use of these features. While there are minor changes to the output format of a specific command, it is unlikely to affect most users, though testing is advised for those using it for automation. The release is available immediately for self-hosted customers and will be rolled out to Octopus Cloud customers in about two weeks, with the promise of inclusion in the next long-term support release by the end of Q2 2019.
