New Features
Pull Request Support for Azure DevOps
Pull request is a feature that allows you to review code and provide feedback before merging it into the master branch. Previously, we had GitHub and Bitbucket support. We've included support for Azure DevOps in this release. (Learn More)
During Ez-Commit and new Pull Requests, you can now create a Pull Request in Azure with the assignee.
You should be able to choose the repository, the base branch, and another branch to compare during the creation of a pull request.
A link to the Azure DevOps application will be included in each pull request created in AutoRABIT. The pull request can also be approved directly from the AutoRABIT application.
Enhancements
Audit Log Report
AutoRABIT had an audit report feature that gave you a comprehensive view of your business operations by fostering a collaborative operational audit environment. In this release, we've made some enhancements and added a button called "Audit Log Report" on the CI job page, which allows you to generate a report in PDF format for a specific period.
We've improved the CI Job Result screen by giving users the option to generate an Audit log report for internal auditing purposes. This is a report of CI jobs deployments and the commits associated with each deployment, including commit details such as Author, Commit Time Stamp, and so on.
We changed the timestamp in the Audit log report from 12-Hour format to 24-hour UTC format by default to comply with ISO 8601 notation, which is a commonly recommended format for representing date and time.
Added support for custom âkeynamesâ, âSalesforce Org typeâ and âAR SF Org typeâ in the Audit trail report wherever Salesforce org name details are applicable.
Salesforce CLI Upgrade
Salesforce CLI is a command-line interface for working with your Salesforce org that makes development and build automation easier. It can be used to create and manage organizations, synchronize sources to and from organizations, create and install packages, and more. In this version of ARM, Salesforce-DX CLI is upgraded to the latest 7.129 version.
Salesforce Winter (API 53) Support
In order to keep our product up to date with the most recent Salesforce updates. AutoRABIT now supports the most recent API version 53 in this release. Now our Salesforce developers will begin using API 53 on their Sandboxes for development. The most recent API version is intended for customizing the metadata model and developing tools to manage it.
Improvements
Platform Improvements
We've been working hard over the last few weeks to improve our platform's stability, performance, query optimizations, code smells, security vulnerabilities, and reliability. With this release, you will notice significant improvements in our application, such as faster page load times, improved performance, and faster search functionality, among other things.
JQuery Upgrade: JQuery was updated from version 1.8.3 to version 3.6. Upgrading to the most recent version of jQuery makes our application more secure, as well as potentially faster in terms of script execution and loading.
UI Improvement
Across the CI Job module, "Load More" buttons have been replaced with "Previous" and "Next" buttons. This new feature will allow our users to display 25, 50, 75, or 100 records on a single page and navigate between pages using the Previous and Next buttons. This feature was previously limited to the Version Control module, but it has recently been expanded to include the CI Job module as well.
