What's New
2024.2
- Changes in installation Helm chart
The CodeCanvas Helm chart in 2024.2 has no changes compared to 2024.1. There is no need to update the
values.yaml
file before upgrading.
Multi-repository support
Now, you can specify multiple repositories for a dev environment template. Each repository is opened in a separate IDE tab on dev environment start. Learn more
Improved Visual Studio Code support
You can now use VS Code in dev environments with no additional configuration. Learn more
GPU support
You can now enable GPU support for dev environments. Learn more
Migrate users from external sources
You can now migrate and then synchronize users from external sources. To do this, use the /user-sync
API endpoint. Learn more
Convert inactive volumes to snapshots
To avoid the costs of storing inactive dev environment volumes, you can convert them to snapshots stored in a cheaper object storage. Learn more
Migration from computing platform
You can now migrate instance types and templates from one computing platform (a Kubernetes cluster that runs dev environments) to another. Learn more
Improved IDE plugin installation
You can now pre-install IDE plugins to dev environments by specifying the plugin IDs in the dev environment template. Learn more
Recover dev environments
You can now recover failed dev environments. During recovery, CodeCanvas creates a new dev environment container and re-downloads the IDE. Learn more
Authenticate in Docker registries via credential helpers
If your dev environments use Docker images from private registries that require authentication, you can now authenticate in these registries via credential helpers. Currently, CodeCanvas supports credential helpers for registries hosted in AWS ECR (Amazon Elastic Container Registry) and GCR (Google Container Registry). Learn more
Run dev environments under non-root user
You can now run dev environments under a non-root user. This feature is available for dev environments that use custom Docker images. Learn more
Use warm-up snapshots built for another branch
If you create a dev environment for a custom branch that has no warm-up snapshot, CodeCanvas will now use a snapshot built for the branch specified in the dev environment template. Learn more
View template history of changes
You can now view the history of changes for a dev environment template. Learn more
Improved script support
Before: To run a warm-up or lifecycle script, you had to create a script file in the project repository and specify the script file path in the dev environment template.
Now: You can specify the script directly in the dev environment template. Learn more
Override worker pod template
You can now define a worker pod template for an instance type. This template overrides the default worker pod template set in the computing platform settings. Learn more
Multiple minor improvements
This release includes multiple bug fixes, performance improvements, and usability enhancements.
