Could someone please advise me? I am setting up a new Windows 7 machine
as our new Jenkins server. We have lots of jobs already defined, which
we ran successfully on an old machine (also Windows 7) using Jenkins 1.441.
I need to know which release of Jenkins I can install on the new machine
and safely use.
Here are my problems:
1. I know I can't use the latest release (Jenkins 1.474), because I need
to use multi-configuration jobs. So the bug that I found and reported a
couple of days ago (Jenkins JIRA issue 14474) rules this out.
2. I know I must not go back to the old release we were using on our old
machine (Jenkins 1.441), even though our jobs do work on it, because of
the security advisory that was issued in March:
This affects all the releases of Jenkins to date (main line releases up
to 1.452 and LTS up to 1.424.3.) Please upgrade to the new releases at
your earliest convenience
So ideally I need to know when bug 14474 was introduced, and go back to
the release just before that (assuming it is later than 1.452). If it
was before 1.452, though, then that isn't an option.
Or, alternatively, can anyone advise me when a fix for 14474 is likely
to appear? According to the comment by Matthew Cooper in the JIRA
report, something that sounds like the same bug is already fixed on the
trunk. I thought perhaps I could download the latest release candidate
and try it out, but there isn't one available. Clicking on the "RC" link
on the Jenkins downloads page leads me to:
The requested URL /pub/jenkins/war-rc/1.475/jenkins.war was not found on this
server.
If I knew there was only a short time to wait before I had a fix for
that bug, I'd probably wait.
Or is there anything I can do to help? Perhaps I could test the fix, if
indeed it has already been fixed?
Thanks for listening! I'd be so grateful for good advice over this problem.
