Every month, we’re excited to share with you what’s in our CloudBees Jenkins X Distribution release. This month, we’re especially excited.

In addition to 44 issues fixed, we’re announcing the general availability of Lighthouse, our replacement for Prow inside of Jenkins X.

Lighthouse is the new, default SCM handler inside of stable versions of Jenkins X starting with this CloudBees Jenkins X Distribution release, and it means more SCM support than very before. As of now:

  • Github.com is now production-ready

  • GitHub Enterprise is now production-ready

  • GitLab, both self-managed and hosted, is now in preview mode

This is a huge step forward, and we anticipate adding even more SCMs soon. For more information, you can review Andrew Bayer’s blog on Lighthouse as an open source project.

On top of expanded SCM support, here are some major issues closed this month:

As always, if you have any questions just get in touch or download the distribution to try it out.
