Nexus Repository 3.8.0 Released

We are pleased to announce the release of Nexus Repository 3.8.0. This release adds support for Yum Hosted repositories. Support for Yum proxy was released previously and we are working on support for Yum groups. You can download 3.8.0 immediately.

Yum hosted repository support
Customers have asked for Yum support and we have listened by first providing Yum proxy in version 3.5.0 and now continuing on with Yum hosted.

This new feature is no longer built on top of Maven and no longer dependant on the external createrepo program; Yum hosting is now platform independent. Yum group repository and support for upgrading 2.x yum repositories to 3.x will be included in a future release.

Use permissive deploy policy if you're using Maven to deploy RPMs to Yum Hosted.

Other Noteworthy Changes

REST API deprecating /siesta
The "/service/siesta/rest/v1/script" endpoint has been moved to "/service/rest/v1/script".
