Hi,

If you are interested what changed in the latest LTS, see
https://www.jenkins.io/changelog-stable/

We are upgrading from LTS version 2.264.3 to 2.289.3.

Here are the highlights:

* Change Jenkins config UI from tables to divs for layout in forms

* Add modern icons: build status and weather.
  * You can see it in action on https://ci.eclipse.org/cbi
  * Style changes can be controversial, but we can't skip this one

* Security fixes
 * https://www.jenkins.io/security/advisory/2021-04-07/
 * https://www.jenkins.io/security/advisory/2021-04-20/
 * https://www.jenkins.io/security/advisory/2021-06-30/

Regards,

Fred
