0.14.0 (February 14, 2022)

Updates the bundled versions of:

Breaking Changes

  • Internalize Jenkins Plugins - see #49 In scenarios where the Jenkins plugins were unavailable to download, the deployment would previously fail. We have now changed it to contain all of the plugins we require, and to attempt to download the rest. This may result in an environment that doesn’t fail deployment, but is unlike previous successful deployments.

Features

  • Upgrades bundled software, as above - see #60
  • Internalizes packages on first run with the deployed Jenkins job - see #46
  • Adds commas as a valid separator for Jenkins params - see #50
  • Adds a HTTP->HTTPS redirect - see #42
  • Changes the deployed VM size to B4ms - see #55

Bug Fixes

  • Fixes an issue with generated passwords containing quotes - see #61
  • Deployment now correctly installs internalized version of Chocolatey - see #59
