Integrations 4.0 Release Notes¶

Release date: June 6, 2024

Compatibility¶

Integrations 4.0 is compatible with Review Board 7.x.

It supports Python 3.8 - 3.12.

Support for Python 3.7 has been dropped.

Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams is a team collaboration application, offering workspace chat.

Review Board can integrate with Microsoft Teams to post notifications whenever review requests and reviews are published. You can have multiple different Microsoft Teams configurations to deliver notifications to different channels (or even different teams).

Jenkins

Updated compatibility for slash normalization in newer versions of Jenkins.

For a while, Jenkins disallowed using slashes in job names, and required normalizing them to underscores. In newer versions, slashes are required.

The jenkins integration now provides separate template variables for {branch_name} and {noslash_branch_name}, and for {repository_name} and {noslash_repository_name}.

Existing configurations may require manual changes, as slashes appearing in a job name outside of a variable are no longer converted to underscores.
Discord

The Discord integration has been updated to truncate long field values in messages in order to avoid hitting character length limits with the Discord server.
Added guided help to the CircleCI and Jenkins configuration forms.
Added configurable timeouts to all CI integration backends.

If a build on CircleCI, Jenkins, or Travis CI failed without notifying Review Board, the status update would just show that it was waiting forever. These integrations now allow you to specify an optional timeout value, after which the build will be marked as failed and allow users to trigger a retry.

Fixed Travis CI configuration UI to properly limit repositories to GitHub.

Travis CI only works with GitHub repositories. A regression had made it so the configuration UI would allow administrators to select non-GitHub repositories, which would then fail to run.
Fixed links in chat integrations for review replies.

Notifications sent to chat services for replies to reviews were linking to the correct page, but would not scroll to the relevant reply.
