Octopus Server 2019.6 with Long Term Support (LTS)
Blog post from Octopus Deploy
Octopus Deploy 2019.6 LTS, a self-hosted release, offers six months of long-term support, focusing on critical bug fixes and security patches without introducing new features. This release includes enhanced Jira integration, allowing teams to monitor release and deployment statuses directly in Jira, alongside new functionalities for build information and work item tracking, supporting GitHub and Jira with Azure DevOps compatibility forthcoming. It also introduces automatic release note generation and script module support for languages like C#, F#, Bash, and Python. Early access to a Linux Tentacle agent addresses security concerns by facilitating communication between Octopus Server and Linux deployment targets without requiring open inbound ports. Minor breaking changes include adjustments in configuration command outputs, email uniqueness policies, and health check properties, necessitating testing for automation-dependent teams.
