New features in DevOps Plan version 3.0.8

V3.0.8

This release includes new features and enhancements in the following areas:

• Smart email and notification batching

  To eliminate notification fatigue caused by frequent in-place edits, IBM DevOps Plan now supports batched email updates. Instead of triggering immediate alerts for every individual change, the system waits a configured time window from the first modification to collect and consolidate all subsequent edits into a single, comprehensive summary email. This ensures you stay fully informed without overloading your inbox. 

• Enhancement to EmailPlus package 2.9

  Starting with EmailPlus 2.9, a Special Interest template is no longer required to use the Add Me feature under the Subscribers tab on a record. Additionally, EmailPlus 2.9 introduces the ability to suppress email notifications to the Actioner, the user who creates or modifies a record, even if that user is the creator, owner, or a subscriber of the record. This feature can be configured on a per-rule basis using the Skip Actioner checkbox, which is unchecked by default.

• Inline editing and new record creation

  Added support for inline editing in Kanban cards and new record creation from boards.

• Flexible GitHub Linking through configurable regular expressions

  The GitHub integration is updated to allow a configurable regex pattern, making the matching algorithm more lenient when associating commits or branches with work item records. The default pattern now ignores preceding whitespace and looks for any alphanumeric word followed by any punctuation (for example, :, -, =) or whitespace. For example, the following commit comments will all map to the work item SAMPL1234567 in the SAMPL application.
  SAMPL1234567-this is a comment.
SAMPL1234567_this is a comment.
SAMPL1234567 this is a comment.
SAMPL1234567:this is a comment.
1234567-this is a comment.
  
  This is the default regex in application.properties, and it can be modified to suit your needs:
  ccm.scm.default.scm.record.id.matcher=^\\s*([A-Za-z\\d]+)[\\s\\p{P}]. 

• OOB Agile schema

  In the Out-of-the-Box (OOB) Agile schema, Resolved Date is added as a criteria option for creating queries. This update will be available in your existing Agile applications once you update the package.

• Helm rollback is not supported in Control 2.0.2

  Standard Helm rollback is not supported in DevOps Control 2.0.2 due to storage topology changes. Use a downgrade via upgrade command with explicit persistence pinning to safely return to an older version.
