Blog post from Octopus Deploy
Octopus Deploy 2018.6 introduces several user-requested improvements and foundational changes aimed at enhancing scalability for larger teams. The release includes updates such as expanded control types for prompted variables and the ability to set sensitive output variables, enhancing security for dynamic provisioning scenarios. It lays the groundwork for future features like "Workers," which will improve deployment performance by offloading tasks from the Octopus Server, and "Spaces," which will allow users to create customized environments within Octopus, beneficial for large organizations with numerous projects. Licensing changes affect only new installations after March 31, 2018, requiring a commercial license for those who began trials after this date. Additionally, the release removes certain commands related to external workers due to the integration of the new worker feature, while ensuring no significant breaking changes for existing users. The update also includes backend enhancements and optimizations that may require additional upgrade time.
