Octopus 2020.1: Dark mode and better Linux support
Blog post from Octopus Deploy
Octopus Deploy 2020.1 introduces several enhancements, including the addition of dark mode, which is designed to reduce eye strain and improve user experience. This release also expands cross-platform compatibility, making the Octopus CLI available on Linux and macOS through Homebrew, APT, and YUM package repositories, and enabling AWS and Azure deployments to be executed on both Windows and Linux machines. Additionally, the update introduces environment and tenant-specific worker pools, which allow dedicated worker pools for different deployment environments, enhancing deployment flexibility. The release raises the minimum requirements for running Octopus Server and includes modifications to library variable set permissions, offering more granular access control. With long-term support for the release, Octopus aims to continue delivering robust updates, and the team is already planning future enhancements such as deep git integration.
