Continuous Delivery for PE 4.4.0 released

[Carl Caum]

Hello, CD for PE customers! We're happy to announce the availability of the 4.4.0 release. There's some great improvements to the federated inventory capabilities as well as some important security improvements.

New in this release:

• Save and share favorite node table views. You can now save the custom versions (views) of the node table that you create by using filters and columns to zero in on the data that's most relevant to your work. When you've created a view that you want to save and share with the members of your workspace, click Save view. You can see a list of all saved views for your workspace, mark your personal favorites for quick access, and switch between your favorite saved views from the Nodes page. For more information, see Save custom node table views.
• Built-in user groups for new workspaces. Newly created workspaces now include three built-in user groups: Administrators, Operators, and Viewers. See the Permissions reference for details on the permissions included in each built-in user group.
• Streamlined workflow for adding users to a workspace. As part of the process of adding a new user to a workspace, you are now prompted to assign the user to one or more user groups (either the new built-in user groups or those you've created).
• Configure login attempt limits. You can now configure the number of unsuccessful login attempts that a user can make on Continuous Delivery for PE before their account is locked, as well as the length of time the account will be locked and the length of time before the login attempt counter resets. For more information, see Configuring login attempt limits.
• Preflight check improvements. Preflight checks now verify that schedulable CPU and memory capacity are available for performing upgrades, and that the system is running Kubernetes version 1.17.0 or newer.
• Usability improvements. Version 4.4.0 introduces several improvements to the design and usability of the web UI and platform admin console, including:
  • You'll no longer see an option to reset your password on the login screen if LDAP is enabled for your installation.
  • A logout option is now available on the 403 error screen.
  • The Config page in the platform admin console has been streamlined in order to help you locate the configuration settings relevant to your installation.
  • To improve readability, the dashboard charts in the platform admin console displaying CPU usage and memory usage now only show data for the top five pods.

Resolved in this release:

• Clicking on the Modules breadcrumb at the top of a module's details page no longer results in a 404 error.
• When you update your CA certificate in the platform admin console, the change now takes effect immediately.
• The option to set a PuppetDB connection timeout period has been added back to the Config page in the platform admin console.
