The Artifactory team is pleased to announce the availability of Artifactory
2.1 - the next major release of Artifactory!
New features and improvements offered in this version:
- *Advanced searches*: class search (includes seeing the actual classes
found), GAVC search, and POM/XPath searches (e.g. you can find all POMs with
a specific license name).
- *XML-based, searchable metadata* that can be attached to any file or
folder during deployment time or via REST API (e.g. Maven can auto-attach
the build/source revision number to deployed artifacts; then you can locate
artifacts based on this metadata).
- *Eager, parallel downloads* of jars (when poms are requested) and
sources (when jars are requested).
- *Move artifacts or folders* between repositories via the UI (includes
auto metadata recalculation).
- *POM editing* from the deployment UI (e.g. remove external repository
references).
- *Enhanced security management*: you can now define permissions that
apply across multiple repositories.
- Search results grouping.
- True silent log-in with remember-me.
- Forgot password by email.
- Email on backup errors.
- Auto-cleanup for unused cached artifacts.
- Improved concurrency control.
- Enhancements to mesh deployment controls.
- Built-in support for more storage types (MySQL, postgreSQL, Oracle, and
file-system).
- Many bug-fixes and small improvements.
Starting with this version, Artifactory also offers an Add-ons Power Pack (
http://www.jfrog.org/addons.php), which is a set of paid-for add-ons bundled
*on top* of the open-source version. It includes yearly maintenance and bug
fixes, and all future releases of new add-ons. This table may be helpful for
comparing the different versions:
http://wiki.jfrog.org/confluence/display/RTF/Version+Comparison.
The add-ons initially offered in the pack are:
- *Smart Searches*: search and aggregate artifacts, obtained
frommultiple search results, then promote or manipulate them together
in one go.
- *Properties*: define sets of custom, structured properties in the UI
and use them (via the UI or REST API) to tag artifacts and folders and to
locate them through the property-search UI.
- *Watches*: watch selected repository paths for events (add, delete, or
modify), and receive focused, security-aware email notifications.
- *WebStart & Jar Signing*: have requested artifacts and their
dependencies automatically signed upon request. Use JFrog's OSS JavaFX Maven
plug-in to deploy modular WebStart/JavaFX applications with reusable,
auto-signed dependencies.
- *Single Sign-on*: reuse existing, HTTP-based, enterprise SSO
integrations, such as Apache's mod_auth_ldap, mod_auth_ntlm, mod_auth_kerb,
etc.
