Jenkins LTS Baseline Selection

[Mark Waite]

Today is the day for the selection of the baseline version for the March LTS release.  The Jenkins calendar show the 2.263.4 release on February 10, 2021, with the next LTS 4 weeks later on March 10, 2021.

User feedback on Jenkins 2.276 and 2.277 have improved compared to previous releases.  I recommend we choose Jenkins 2.277 as the LTS release baseline.

This will be the first LTS release to include:

• Tables to divs (as announced in the blog)
• JQuery upgrade
• Acegi to Spring Security framework (as announced in Jesse's blog post)
• Xstream unfork (as announced in Jesse's blog post)

Comments and discussion welcomed.

Tables to divs is the only real concern in the current state IMHO.

In the current state it does not really matter which version to take, especially since the diff between 2.276 and 2.277 is pretty smal.

+1 for 2.277

+1 for 2.277

2.277 includes fixes for major tables to divs issues (JENKINS-64429 and JENKINS-64291) that would need to be backported anyway.

Agree. There's no other reasonable choice at the moment.

Hello

Given there have been no objections to 2.277 let's take that one.

The new bom line has been prepared and the 2 failures are now sorted, 

Acceptance tests are not in the best shape, any help here would be greatly appreciated.

~68 tests failed on the last run

25 failed on the latest LTS

https://ci.jenkins.io/blue/organizations/jenkins/Core%2Fjenkins/detail/stable-2.263/10/tests

Fixes or proposing tests for removal are greatly appreciated, ath test criteria.

Thanks Ulli for removing a couple recently

Thanks

Tim
