Here is the next minor release 2.5.0 of Woodpecker 🪶 ☀️.
<!--truncate-->
As always thanks to all contributors who helped to make this release possible. It includes quite a few enhancements
most users will benefit from while they are probably not that visible at first sight for most. The release also includes some preparations for new features to come in the next versions. Anyway, let's dive into some of the highlights of this release:
## Improve the way entrypoints work
The implementation wasn't perfect yet so we improved the way entrypoints work:
If you define [`commands`](/docs/usage/workflow-syntax#commands), the default entrypoint will be `["/bin/sh", "-c", "echo $CI_SCRIPT | base64 -d | /bin/sh -e"]`.
If you define your own entrypoint, you can completely overwrite the default entrypoint. If you define `entrypoint: ["/bin/my-script", ""]` for example you can run your own binary / script. In this case the commands section will ignored, however you can still access it in your own script by using the base64 encoded string of the `CI_SCRIPT` environment variable.
The cli output has been improved. The first command (mainly pipeline info, ls, create) support a `--output` flag now which allows you to change the output format. There is a new `table` format (the new default) which will look like the following and can be further customized:
```bash
# use default table output
❯ woodpecker-cli pipeline ls --limit 2 2
NUMBER STATUS EVENT BRANCH COMMIT AUTHOR
43 error manual main 473761d8b26b20f7c206408563d54cf998410329 woodpecker
42 success push main 473761d8b26b20f7c206408563d54cf998410329 woodpecker
# customize table output and disable header
❯ woodpecker-cli pipeline ls --limit 2 --output table=number,status,event --no-header 2
In addition especially useful for programmatic usage there is a `go-template` output format which will output the data using the provided go template like this:
If you accidentally exposed some secret to the public in your logs or you simply want to cleanup some logs you can now delete logs or complete pipelines using the api and the cli.
To keep things clean and simple we deprecated some pipeline options, server settings and features which will
be removed in the next major release:
- Deprecated `environment` filter, use `when.evaluate`
- Use `WOODPECKER_EXPERT_FORGE_OAUTH_HOST` instead of `WOODPECKER_DEV_GITEA_OAUTH_URL` or `WOODPECKER_DEV_OAUTH_HOST`
- Deprecated `WOODPECKER_WEBHOOK_HOST` in favor of `WOODPECKER_EXPERT_WEBHOOK_HOST`
For a full list of deprecations that will be dropped in the `next` major release `3.0.0` (no eta yet), please check the [migrations](/docs/migrations#next) section.
