CodeNOW Release Notes 7.5

Overview

CodeNOW version 7.5 introduces three significant enhancements designed to streamline development workflows and improve transparency across the build process.

CodeNOW API

The platform now features a new CodeNOW API that enables seamless integration with existing systems. The API provides "a wide range of functionalities that are critical for modern software development," according to the release notes.

Developers can access comprehensive documentation to begin implementation, with guides covering integration approaches and rapid deployment strategies for projects of various sizes.

Enhanced Build Detail View

The build detail interface has been substantially improved to provide developers comprehensive visibility into build outcomes. Key improvements include:

  • Git Revision Tracking: Developers can identify the exact git revision used for component builds, improving traceability and debugging capabilities
  • Artifacts Overview: A centralized dashboard displays all CI pipeline outputs, including container images, Helm charts, Maven artifacts, NuGet packages, and npm artifacts

This consolidated view simplifies tracking and managing build outputs across multiple artifact types.

External CI Tool Integration

Version 7.5 now supports "replacing the default CI tool used for building single components with your preferred external CI tool." Compatible platforms include Jenkins, Travis CI, CircleCI, and GitLab CI.

Configuration documentation provides setup instructions, configuration recommendations, and best practices for smooth integration with existing toolchains.
