Chapter 6. Fixed issues

Previously, SCM integration failed for self-hosted enterprise SCM providers because the system could not identify the configured host. This resulted in a No auth provider available error. With this release, the SCM integration now correctly uses the configured authentication provider for the corresponding enterprise host. As a result, end users can now successfully perform actions requiring enterprise SCM access.

Before this update, local plugins within the image were incorrectly detected for updates due to version misidentification. This led to users being unable to update local plugins from wrappers, resulting in outdated functionality. With this release, local plugin updates are automatically detected, eliminating the need for manual adjustments and ensuring seamless plugin version updates for end users.

Before this update, the header column on the documentation page lacked translations, causing wrong header labels for end users. This issue led to end users seeing table.header.actions on the documentation page. With this release, the header column correctly translates to Actions, making sure the end users see the correct label on the documentation page.

Before this update, deploying Helm-based Orchestrator with local Database in replication mode failed due to a wrong database service name. This caused the RHDH instance to fail to start. With this release, the RHDH instance starts correctly, allowing the correct setting of the database service name in the RHDH instance configuration.

Before this update, the latest Orchestrator feature set was unavailable because the release included the outdated Orchestrator plugin version 1.6. This issue is resolved in RHDH 1.7.1. The Orchestrator plugin is updated to version 1.7.1, making sure that users have access to the latest features and functionality.

In this release, various fixes and improvements have been made to improve the keyboard accessibility in Red Hat Developer Hub.

Previously, the techdocs-module-addons-contrib plugin was not displayed as preinstalled in Extensions. With this update, the plugin is displayed as preinstalled.

Before this update, excessive queries from the rbac-backend plugin to the relations database table caused performance issues. As a consequence, users experienced slow performance. With this release, the RBAC backend plugin has been optimized to improve performance by preventing excessive queries to the 'relations' database table.

Previously the RHDH Operator enforced replicas: 1 from its default deployment config, which overrode scaling decisions.

With this update, replicas: 1 is removed from the default deployment profile and the DB-statefulset manifest.

This update allows HPA to control scaling as expected, so that RHDH instances can now scale dynamically with HPA without being reset by the operator.

Before this update, when users selected 100 or more repositories simultaneously, the create pull request action could fail with a generic error message. In this release, we provide a more informative error message when creating pull requests for multiple repositories. This bug fix helps users to understand the issue by providing more information about what caused the error.

Before this update, excessive authorize requests in the REST API for creating/editing roles, permissions, and conditions in rbac-backend led to performance issues. With this release, the excessive authorization requests in the REST API have been fixed by reducing permissions to only 'user' credentials.

Previously, the custom title set via app.title in the Top Visited and Recently Visited cards did not persist after a page refresh, instead it defaulted back to Red Hat Developer Hub.

With this update, after each refresh, the cards correctly display the custom title defined in the app.title configuration.

Previously, when a role name was updated using the RBAC API, existing permissions, conditions, and metadata were not updated and remained mapped to the old role name. With this update, role name changes are now correctly updated.

Previously, tooltips on action icons in the Role list table of the Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) page were slow to appear on hover.

This issue has been fixed, ensuring that tooltips now appear immediately when hovering over action icons in the RBAC page.

Previously, if the backend Extensions was not installed, RHDH showed the skeleton "forever" instead of an error message.

With this update, the UI shows an empty state with a message to enable the backend plugin.

Previously, the Profile dropdown in the Global Header showed Guest instead of the logged-in user’s display name when logging in using the OIDC authentication.

With this release, the Profile dropdown correctly displays the user's name by first checking spec.profile.displayName, then metadata.title, and finally falls back to the name shown on the Profile card in the Settings page if neither is available.

Before this update, RHDH performance was affected by the duplication of filter arguments in enforcerDelegate.getFilteredPolicy. With this release, the duplication of filter arguments in enforcerDelegate.ts is avoided.

Previously, Jenkins permissions were not exposed by Jenkins at /api/jenkins/.well-known/backstage/permissions/metadata with the change to JenkinsBuilder. As a result, RBAC UI did not display the permissions. In this release, users can configure Jenkins permissions by using the RBAC UI.
