Changelog for Teamscale 6.0
Newer Release Available
Our current release is available here
Deprecated REST XML Interface
- New: As of Teamscale 6.0, Teamscale's REST XML interface has been deprecated. Accordingly, any existing scripts should be migrated to the new public API.
Changed loading of configuration files and locating relative paths
- New: As of Teamscale 6.0, all configuration files are loaded using the same logic. In particular configuration files in the process working directory take precedence over ones in the Teamscale installation.
- New: Relative paths specified in configuration files will always be resolved to the working directory. The working directory usually equals the installation directory unless explicitly changed.
- New: Custom check JAR files can be deployed in a directory relative to the working directory and installation directory.
- Removed: Searching for a Teamscale configuration file
teamscale-config.propertiesin the installation root directory. Use the fileteamscale.propertiesin one of the config directories. - Removed: Searching for a license in the installation root directory or a directory specified by the Java system property
teamscale.license.pathis no longer supported. Use the environment variableTEAMSCALE_CONFIGto specify a separate configuration directory or pass the license using theTS_LICENSEenvironment variable if you cannot place the license in one of the config directories. - Removed: The administrative service to read and write configuration files via the Web API (
config-files) has been removed.
Changed System Requirements
- As of Teamscale 5.6, running the Teamscale server on Windows requires the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 to be installed.
