Artifactory Release Notes

Artifactory 7.31

This section includes all of the Artifactory version 7.31.x releases.

Artifactory 7.31.10

Released: 10 January, 2022

Highlights

JFrog Projects Feature is Available to All JFrog Users

The JFrog Projects feature is now supported on all JFrog Subscriptions. JFrog Projects is a management entity for hosting your resources (repositories, builds, Release Bundles, and Pipelines), and for associating users/groups as members with specific entitlements. As such, using projects helps Platform Admins to offload part of their day-to-day management effort and to generate a better separation between the customer products to improve customer visibility on efficiency, scale, cost, and security. Projects simplify the onboarding process for new users, create better visibility for LOBs and project stakeholders. To learn more, see Projects.

Pub Repository Support (Beta Version)

Artifactory now natively supports Dart packages, giving you full control of your deployment and resolution process of Flutter, Angular Dart, and general Dart programs. You can create secure and private local Pub repositories with fine-grained access control. Remote Pub repositories proxy remote Dart resources and cache downloaded Dart packages to keep you independent of the network and the remote resource, and virtual pub repositories give you a single URL through which to manage the resolution and deployment of all your Dart packages. To learn more, see Pub Repositories.

S3 with Storage Sharding Support

Artifactory introduces S3 Sharding template (s3-sharding) that utilizes a new sub-provider, state-aware-s3, so that you can use multiple S3 buckets with sharding as the Artifactory file store. For more information, see S3 Sharding.

High Availability in PostgreSQL Database

Artifactory introduces the ability to set up PostgreSQL databases in an HA configuration to be used as the Artifactory database. For more information, see PostgreSQL.

Feature Enhancements 

Priority Resolution Supported on Federated Repositories

Added support for setting Priority Resolution on Federated repositories. Setting Priority Resolution takes precedence over the resolution order when resolving Federated repositories and will cause metadata to be merged only from repositories set with this field. If a package is not found in those repositories, Artifactory will merge metadata from the repositories that have not been set with the Priority Resolution field. 

Garbage Collection Improvements

To improve Garbage Collection performance, you can now disable size-based ordering of the GC query. As a result, artifacts will not necessarily be deleted from largest to smallest. For more information, see Garbage Collection.

NuGet SetMeUp API v3 Enhancements

The NuGet package Set Me UP page in the JFrog Platform UI has been redesigned to reflect the best practices promoted by NuGet regarding the usage of API v3 over API v2. For more information, see Configuring NuGet Repositories.

Introducing npm SHA512 Support

From npm version 5, all npm packages published to Artifactory with support both SHA512 and SHA1 while using the strongest algorithm available which will result in improved performance, robustness, and enhanced fault-tolerance. For more information, see v500.

Artifactory now supports SHA512 checksum when publishing to Artifactory with npm versions greater than 5 (containing sha512).

Checksum Policy Support for NPM Uploads

Added support for checksum validation on the NPM Tarballs when running the NPM Publish command.

Resolved Issues

Artifactory 7.31.11

Release: 23 January, 2021

Resolved Issue

Artifactory 7.29

This section includes all of the Artifactory version 7.29.x releases.

Artifactory 7.29.7

Released: 5 December, 2021

Highlight

New Hybrid Solution Provided through the Distribution Edges

Self-hosted customers who have an existing JFrog Distribution in place may sometimes require the option of adding additional JFrog Artifactory instances in the cloud. This hybrid setup is now supported through the JFrog Distribution Edges Add-on, a commercial offering for On-Prem customers to leverage JFrog SaaS for software distribution. This add-on enables On-Prem customers to add cloud-based Edge nodes managed by JFrog (software-as-a-service) and fully utilize them for content distribution. See Configuring Distribution Edges Using the Distribution Edges Add-on.

New Integration for JFrog Artifactory with Amazon's Elastic Cloud Kubernetes (EKS) Anywhere

Amazon's Elastic Cloud Kubernetes (EKS) Anywhere is a new deployment option for Amazon EKS, which allows customers to create and operate Kubernetes clusters on customer-managed infrastructure, supported by AWS. Unlike the Bring Your Own License (BYOL) model, which uses a Docker image, the deployment of JFrog Artifactory on Elastic Cloud Kubernetes (EKS), EKS Anywhere uses Helm Charts to leverage the AWS License Manager. See Artifactory Integration with Amazon AWS Container Marketplace.

Support for Personal OAuth SSO

JFrog Cloud users (only) can now also join through an invite, and to then log in using Personal OAuth such as Google or GitHub. For more information, see Adding New Users via Invite.

Master.key Load and Retention in Memory

To improve security around the storage of the master.key, from Artifactory version 7.29.7 JFrog supports loading the master.key at startup and keeping it in memory. This is achieved by removing the master key from the file system by each application, after it was read by the application node during bootstrapping. Customers who wishing to utilize this capability will need to "opt-in" to the master key removal, to fetch the master key and to place it in the correct path on the application's file system whenever a new node is bootstrapped. See Master.key Load and Retention in Memory.

Feature Enhancements

Garbage Collection Performance Improvements

Improved Garbage collection performance by implementing changes to the internal garbage collection batch mechanism.

New Pairing Token UI and API

Added new UI in the JFrog Platform for a pairing token, which establishes trust between different JFrog micro services. The pairing token is an access token that is used for the initial pairing flow. Because the token is a limited access token, it is dedicated to a specific task and short-lived. Once trust is established, the services can continue using the standard token-based authentication for communication. Pairing tokens replace the join.key that was used in the past in the JFrog Platform to link between services. This type of token is only designed to link cross-topologies (i.e., locally, and not with in a JPD). See Generating Scoped and Pairing Tokens.

NuGet Repository Improvements

As part of the NuGet package improvement initiative, we have added the ability to resolve cached artifacts from remote NuGet repositories in case the remote repository is down.

Hiding Artifactory Version in the UI is Supported

The Artifactory version in the UI can be hidden by setting the artifactory.standalone.show.detailed.footer=false to the var/etc/artifactory/artifactory.system.properties file.

This feature is applicable only to Artifactory Self-hosted instances.

Conan Search Optimization

Performed internal changes to the Conan search resulting in Conan search optimization.

Resolved Issues

Artifactory 7.27

This section includes all of the Artifactory version 7.27.x releases.

Artifactory 7.27.3

Released: 30 September, 2021

Highlights

Announcing JFrog Artifactory Cold Artifact Storage Feature

The JFrog Cold Artifact Storage enables organizations to save cost and improve usability and performance by providing the ability to retain unused artifacts that cannot be deleted for several years due to regulatory obligations. Cold Artifact Storage enables you to move these artifacts from one Artifactory instance to another Artifactory instance that is connected to cost-effective storage. Artifacts that are moved to the Cold instance are removed from the Live Artifactory instance, thereby reducing the number of artifacts that require maintenance, which helps to improve the usability, search capabilities, and performance of the Live instance. For more information, see Cold Artifact Storage.

PHP Composer Virtual Repositories

As part of our initiative to support PHP Composer versions 1 and 2 and support for downloading Drupal file versions 7 and 8 from remote repositories, we now support PHP Composer virtual repositories. A virtual repository is a collection of local, remote, and other virtual repositories accessed through a single logical URL. It hides the access details of the underlying repositories letting users work with a single, well-known URL. The underlying participating repositories and their access rules may be changed without requiring any client-side changes. For more information, see PHP Composer virtual repositories.

Feature Enhancements

JFrog Mission Control is Now Integrated as a Service in Artifactory

From this version, Mission Control is now a dedicated service in Artifactory and manages the connectivity between the Platform Deployment units. The dashboard and metrics are now part of a new dedicated product called Insight. For more information, see Migrating Platform Deployments and License Buckets.

Extended the Priority Resolution feature to Support PHP Composer Repositories 

You can now declare local and remote repositories as ‘safe’ by enabling the ‘Priority Resolution’ field for Local and Remote repositories for PHP Composer packages. 

HELM Remote Repositories Improvements in the UI

Helm Charts requested by the Helm client frequently use external dependencies as defined in the index.yaml file. These dependencies may, in turn, need additional dependencies. Therefore, when downloading a chart, you may not have full visibility into the full set of dependencies that your original chart needs (whether directly or transitively). As a result, you are at risk of downloading malicious dependencies from unknown external resources.

To manage this risk, and maintain the best practice of consuming external charts through Artifactory, you may specify a "safe" Allow List from which dependencies may be downloaded, cached in Artifactory, and configured to rewrite the dependencies so that the Helm client accesses dependencies through a remote repository. For more information, see Automatically Rewriting External Dependencies.

Project-related Enhancements

• Added the ability to share repositories within a Project/s in Read-Only mode to avoid any changes or modifications of the shared content.
• Increased the number of characters supported for a Project key up to 10 chars.

Docker Push Image Performance Improvements

Improved speed when pushing new Docker images to Docker repositories by implementing enhancements to the internal Docker Blob Search mechanism.

Expanded Indexing to Support .ddeb Files for Debian Repositories

Added support for Indexing debug symbols for Debian repositories. For more information, see Debian Repositories.

Enhanced the Get Reverse Proxy Configuration REST API Permissions

Users running the Get Reverse Proxy Configuration REST API can now view proxy information based on their permission set.

Upgraded Tomcat Version

The Tomcat bundled with Artifactory has been upgraded to version 8.5.68, solving some security vulnerabilities described in CVE-2021-33037.

Resolved Issues

Artifactory 7.27.6

Released: 11 October, 2021

Feature Enhancements

Push Configuration Updates are Supported for Federated Repositories

You can manually initiate push configuration updates to member federated members in case of network issues using the REST API or directly in the UI. For more information, see Troubleshooting Federated Member Out-of-Sync Notifications.

Enabling Log Collection (Cloud Subscriptions) 

The Log Collection Enablement feature enables Cloud customers to collect and download their application logs in a dedicated Logs Artifactory System Repository, to improve auditing capabilities. The feature requires an opt-in, and is enabled using a dedicated Artifactory API. The log types collected include Artifactory request and access audit trail.
This feature is available to all Cloud subscriptions.

PHP Composer Repository Highlights

PHP Composer V2 Support

Artifactory supports PHP Composer V2 in addition to V1. From Artifactory 7.24, Local PHP repositories will automatically be created in V2 that supports faster download times and enhanced performance.
The PHP Metadata V2 index support for local repositories, and complies with the following rules:

• Your existing Composer repositories will remain unchanged and Composer v1 will be set as the default.
• From this Artifactory version and above, all newly created Composer repositories will be set with Composer version 2. The option to set V1 indexing is disabled by default.

The V1 indexing can be enabled or disabled in the local repository configuration and requires full reindexing after applying changes. For more information, see PHP Composer Local Repositories.

Drupal 7 and 8 Registry Support

You can now upload Drupal version 7 and 8 packages to remote repositories. For more information, see Setting Remote Repositories to Work Opposite Drupal 7 and 8 Packages.

Feature Enhancements

Added Namespace Support for Helm Virtual Repositories 

You can now assign namespaces to local and remote repositories in Helm virtual repositories allowing you to explicitly state which aggregated repository to fetch. In the past, when attempting to fetch a chart from a virtual Helm repository, the first chart that randomly matched the name, was fetched. For more information, see Kubernetes Helm Chart Repositories.

As part of our ongoing effort to provide the best Docker-related experience, we have introduced the following enhancements:

• Improved the Docker remote repository flow by reducing the number of requests to the remote repositories.
• Added Docker Buildx support, allowing you to easily build and push multi-architecture images using the Docker buildx CLI. For more information, see Pushing Multi-Architecture Docker Images to Artifactory.
• Added support for promoting Docker images with a Docker manifest.list from one Docker local repository to another.

Announcing a New Outbound Repository Request Log

Announcing the release of the new Outbound Remote Repository Request log, which allows you to track every request initiated by a remote repository including requests related to replication. For more information, see Logging.

Extended the Priority Resolution feature to Support Puppet Packages

You can now declare local and remote repositories as ‘safe’ by enabling the ‘Priority Resolution’ field for Local and Remote repositories for Puppet packages.

Improved Metadata Request Performance for Remote Repositories 

You can now configure the Metadata Retrieval Cache Timeout (Sec) parameter in the Remote Repository Cache Settings to control the Metadata timeout performance. If the timeout is reached, the local cached artifact is served and the previous metadata is returned to the client (the default value is 60 seconds).

Native Artifacts Browser Accessible from the UI

The Artifactory native artifacts browser, which allows browsing the contents of a repository in a plain HTML structured tree, is now available via the artifact URL or via the artifacts Actions menu. Authenticated users will not need to re-authenticate to access the native browser.

Expanded Additional Security Manager Role and Additional Scanning Capabilities in Project Functionality

The new Security Manager role enables a user to perform security-related project actions such as Manage Xray Data, Manage Reports, Manage Watches and Policies, and Ignore Global Violations. This version also introduces additional functionalities for Xray in Projects, such as generating Global Xray Reports for a Project scope and applying Global Watches to Projects. This expanded role and capabilities require using Xray version 3.27 and above. 

Docker/Conan GetToken Request Improvements

Improved the response time of Docker / Conan getToken requests and reduced the number of DB calls.

Support for Multiple HashiCorp Vault Connectors in the JFrog Platform UI

^{CLOUD: Enterprise with Security Pack | Enterprise+  SELF-HOSTED: Enterprise X | Enterprise+}

The JFrog Platform integration with HashiCorp Vault now enables you to configure multiple external vault connectors through the Platform UI.  You can see the list of available connectors in the new HashiCorp Vault Connectors window. To learn more, see Vault. 

Managing Multiple Signing Keys

^{CLOUD: Enterprise with Security Pack | Enterprise+  SELF-HOSTED: Enterprise X | Enterprise+}

The JFrog Platform now enables you to manage multiple RSA and GPG signing keys through the Keys Management UI and REST API. The JFrog Platform supports managing multiple pairs of GPG signing keys to sign packages for authentication of several package types such as Debian, Opkg, and RPM through the Keys Management UI and REST API. To learn more, see Managing Signing Keys

Generating an Identity Token through the Profile UI

The user profile now enables users to generate identity tokens. Any user can create a user identity token for themselves via the UI or via REST API. Identity tokens are scoped tokens, which means that they provide limited and focused permissions, making them more secure and, therefore, preferable to API keys. In addition, when a user is deleted/disabled, their tokens are also revoked. To learn more, see Identity Token.

Added Capability to Ignore Download Statistics 

The new skipUpdateStats parameter can now be added to Rest requests, allowing you to ignore statistics generated by 3rd party tools.

Highlights

Extended Flagging Safe Repositories Support for Alpine, Bower, Conan, Conda, Cran, Go, Gradle, Ivy, Maven, Nuget, and SBT Packages 

Declaring local and remote repositories as ‘safe’ by enabling the ‘Priority Resolution’ field for Local and Remote repositories has been extended to support Alpine, Bower, Conan, Conda, Cran, Go, Gradle, Ivy, Maven, Nuget, and SBT Packages. Setting Priority Resolution takes precedence over the resolution order when resolving virtual repositories. Setting repositories with priority will cause metadata to be merged only from repositories set with this field. If a package is not found in those repositories, Artifactory will merge metadata from the repositories that have not been set with the Priority Resolution field.

Feature Enhancement

Support for Controlling Signed URL Download Methods

You now have the option to set your signed URL redirects using one of these methods: S3, CloudFront, or using a direct download without a signed URL redirect. For more information, see Controlling Your Signed URL Downloads.

 Enhanced the S3 Configuration Template

To reduce the overhead on the Ceph backend, you can now modify the chunk size that was previously fixed at 5 MB by setting the multipartElementSize tag in the Amazon S3 Official SDK Template. If no tag is specified, the AWS client default of 5 MB will be applied.

UI for the JFrog Platform Vault Integration with HashiCorp Vault

^{CLOUD: Enterprise with Security Pack | Enterprise+  SELF-HOSTED: Enterprise X | Enterprise+}

The JFrog Platform integration with HashiCorp Vault now enables you to configure an external vault connection to use as a centralized secret management tool not only through the APIs but also using the JFrog Platform UI. Using vault allows you to store JFrog Platform GPG keys, RSA keys, and Trusted keys used to sign packages and Release Bundles as secrets in HashiCorp Vault and provides you with the capability to generate and manage keys in a centralized tool for security and compliance. To learn more, see Vault.

UI for the JFrog Platform SCIM Integration 

^{CLOUD: Enterprise with Security Pack | Enterprise+  SELF-HOSTED: Enterprise X | Enterprise+}

JFrog Platform now enables you to generate a dedicated admin access token for SCIM in the JFrog Platform by going to Admin | Security | SCIM. The token generated can then be used in the identity service setup. To learn more, see SCIM.

Signing Keys Management 

^{CLOUD: Enterprise with Security Pack | Enterprise+  SELF-HOSTED: Enterprise X | Enterprise+}

The JFrog Platform now features a centralized dashboard for creating and managing all signing keys. This feature enables you to create and control the keys used to encrypt or digitally sign your artifacts - in one central location, which makes it easier for you to manage signing keys throughout your organization. To learn more, see Security Keys Management.

Released: 31 March, 2021

Highlights

Announcing Projects in the JFrog Platform

^{CLOUD: Enterprise | Enterprise+  SELF-HOSTED: Enterprise X | Enterprise+}

JFrog Projects is a management entity for hosting your resources (repositories, builds, Release Bundles, and Pipelines), and for associating users/groups as members with specific entitlements. As such, using projects helps Platform Admins to offload part of their day-to-day management effort and to generate a better separation between the customer products to improve customer visibility on efficiency, scale, cost, and security. Projects simplifies the onboarding process for new users, creates better visibility for LOBs and project stakeholders. To learn more, see Projects.

Cloud-Native High Availability (HA) is Now Supported for Self-Hosted Artifactory Installations

From Artifactory 7.17.4, all nodes in the high availability cluster can perform tasks such as replication, garbage collection, backups, exporting, and importing, removing the need to set up a primary node in the cluster. Instead, every node in the cluster can serve any of the mentioned tasks and if any node goes down, the different nodes in the cluster will be able to perform these tasks instead. By default, when adding a new node (member) to the cluster, it will be able to perform cluster-wide tasks without user intervention. For more information, see Cloud-Native High Availability.

Cargo Packages Support 

Artifactory natively supports a Cargo Registry for the Rust language, giving you full control of your deployment and resolve process of Cargo packages. Cargo downloads your Rust package's dependencies, compiles your packages, makes distributable packages, and uploads them to crates.io, the Rust community’s package registry. You can contribute to this book on GitHub. To learn more, see Cargo Registry.

SCIM ID Management Support

^{CLOUD: Enterprise with Security Pack | Enterprise+  SELF-HOSTED: Enterprise X | Enterprise+}

JFrog introduces initial support for the System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) protocol 2.0, to enable Enterprise and Enterprise+ customers to create, remove and disable user accounts from their choice of user management tool and automatically update the platform with these changes. Okta and Azure Active Directory (AD) have used to verify this capability. To learn more, see SCIM.

HashiCorp Vault Integration with the JFrog Platform

^{CLOUD: Enterprise with Security Pack | Enterprise+  SELF-HOSTED: Enterprise X | Enterprise+}

The JFrog Platform integration with HashiCorp Vault enables you to configure an external vault connection to use as a centralized secret management tool. Using vault allows you to store JFrog Platform GPG keys, RSA keys, and Trusted keys used to sign packages and Release Bundles as secrets in HashiCorp Vault and provides you with the capability to generate and manage keys in a centralized tool for security and compliance. To learn more, see Vault.

PrivateLink for AWS Cloud

^{CLOUD: Enterprise with Security Pack | Enterprise+  SELF-HOSTED: Enterprise X | Enterprise+}

The MyJFrog Cloud Portal enables customers to establish a secure network connection from their cloud account into their JFrog Cloud instance-without going through a public Internet-by setting establishing a private connection. MyJFrog provides customers with step-by-step instructions on how to set up a PrivateLink connection, in which the source is the customer's own AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and the target is the JFrog PrivateLink. To learn more, see Setting up AWS PrivateLinks.

Highlights

Alpine Linux Repository Support

Artifactory now natively supports Alpine Linux packages, giving you full control of your deployment and resolution process of Alpine Linux (*.apk) packages.

You can create secure and private local Alpine Linux repositories with fine-grained access control. Remote Alpine Linux repositories proxy remote Alpine resources and cache downloaded apk packages to keep you independent of the network and the remote resource, and virtual Alpine Linux repositories give you a single URL through which to manage the resolution and deployment of all your apk packages. To learn more, see Alpine Linux Repositories.

To support the signing of Alpine Linux package types, Artifactory now supports creating and managing RSA Key Pairs. You upload the RSA Key Pair using the Create RSA Key Pair or directly in the web UI and manage the keys directly in the JFrog Platform. Once you have generated the RSA Keys, you can assign the key pair to the Alpine Repository in the Advanced tab of the Alpine Repository configuration. For more information, see Managing Signing Keys.

JFrog Xray support for scanning Alpine Linux packages will be added in the forthcoming release.

Multi-factor Authentication 

For JFrog Platform Cloud (SaaS) users, you can now use an additional layer of security when logging into the JFrog Platform. Administrators can enable multi-factor authentication for all users, which will require users to provide a verification code from a third-party authentication application every time users log in. 

Event-driven Webhooks 

The new Webhooks feature enables you to send important events occurring in Artifactory. You have a number of events that you can select, such as Artifact Deployment or Build Deployment, and send these events to other applications that are configured by setting a URL.

These events are sent through the new Event Service, which distributes your events to the relevant URLs you set when creating your Webhooks.

Released: May 19, 2020

Highlights

Artifactory Cloud with CDN Distribution

Artifactory Cloud Enterprise and Enterprise+ supports a fully integrated advanced CDN solution removing the need to deal with the complexity of setting up a separate external CDN Caching system. JFrog Artifactory Cloud with Amazon's CloudFront CDN solution allows you to manage, control, and distribute high volumes of software distribution across multiple locations.

The CDN solution provided in Artifactory Cloud supports distributing public content via Anonymous Access and Signed URLs, distributing private content using fine-grained permissions and Access Tokens, CNAME/SSL support, and setting IP Whitelisting and Geo Restrictions. To view the list of CDN features supported by the different JFrog subscription types, see Cloud Pricing.

From version 7.5, CDN Distribution is enabled by default for Artifactory Cloud Enterprise and Artifactory Cloud Enterprise+ users and all is that is required is to set CDN support on your repository level. For more information, see JFrog Cloud.

Support for Signed URLs

Artifactory now supports using signed URLs. Users with administrator or manage permission can generate a signed URL that provides temporary shared access to a specific artifact, using the Create Signed URL REST API. Using the Replace Signed URL Key REST API, administrators can replace the key for signing and validating signed URLs, invalidating any signed URLs previously created. This feature is supported for Artifactory Cloud Enterprise and Enterprise+ users.

Xray Block Unscanned Artifacts Timeout Policy 

This version includes the capability to define the timeout policy for unscanned artifact download requests. This means that when a block unscanned artifacts policy is configured in Xray, Artifactory will wait for the predefined time of the policy, to allow Xray to perform the required scan. This will prevent download request failures that require Xray scan on the artifacts.

In addition, to improve artifact download performance, Artifactory will now only request Xray scans results for repositories configured with block download policy.

Configurations are available here.

** Available with Artifactory version 7.5.x and Xray version 3.4.x.

Support for RHEL 8 AppStream

Artifactory now supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 which contains support for enhanced Yum metadata for AppStream (RHEL8) or Modularity (Fedora) technology used in RHEL8. An example of this new metadata includes the data type=modules metadata from repomd.xml. The Content in AppStream in RPM is available in one of two formats - the familiar RPM format and an extension to the RPM format called Modules. 

As part of the AppStream support in Artifactory, you can:

• Proxy AppStream modules through a remote RPM repository.
• Host and serve AppStream modules according to profiles and streams through a local RPM repository.
• Serve local and remote content through a virtual repository.

For more information, see Deploying RPM Modules to Your Local Repository.

Just a bit of background, Tomcat was previously upgraded to version 8.5.51. Due to a known issue in Tomcat 8.5.51, Artifactory may return HTTP date headers (Date, Last-Modified) in a timezone that is different than GMT. See more details here. 

This applies only if you are using clients that make use of the "If-Modified-Since" request header in the request to Artifactory, therefore validate that dates are sent in GMT format (according to the HTTP spec mandates).

If your clients send dates in a timezone that is different than GMT format and you are using Artifactory 7.3.2, we recommend upgrading to this version. 

Setting SSL/TLS for the Artifactory Tomcat Connector via Artifactory system YAML File 

You can now enable SSL/TLS for the Artifactory Tomcat connector directly in the Artifactory System YAML file. For more information, see Artifactory Operational Microservices.

Added Support for Docker Upgrades from Legacy Artifactory Versions

You can upgrade JFrog Artifactory using Docker from Artifactory version 6.x to 7.x or from 7.x to 7.x.

Issues Resolved 

1. Improved performance when running Interactive Installers.
2. Fixed an issue whereby stopping a service using the artifactoryctl stop command failed in the first attempt if the pidof command did not exist on the installed server.

Artifactory 7.4.3

Released Date: 27 April, 2020

Resolved Issues

For a complete list of changes, please refer to our JIRA Release Notes. 

Artifactory 7.3

Released: 23 March, 2020

Highlights

PAT (Personal Access Token) Support for Remote Repository Authentication

In addition to the basic authentication, with username and password, Artifactory now supports remote repository authentication using Personal Access Tokens (PAT). The big advantage of using PATs is that you can strengthen your Artifactory security practices by using Access Tokens for authentication instead of using your primary credentials. For example, you can configure your remote Docker repository to point to GitHub and authenticate it by using a PAT. You can use PATs for any package type. For more information, see  Remote Credentials. 

LDAP Improvements

Artifactory now supports a new type of Active Directory "Nested Groups" search, enabling performance improvements when working with LDAP. This feature requires that Active Directory runs on Windows Server 2012 R2 version or later. There are no additional requirements for the Active Directory Windows Server side. For more information, see Support for Nested Groups.

Write-disabled Mode Supported for Shard Storage Requests

To enhance storage sharding, Artifactory now supports disabling write-requests to shards.
This is useful, for example, when migrating data from a shard that must be replaced. First, the feature is used to write-disable the shard and then the data is migrated to a new shard.
In addition, the feature still allows garbage collection to continue to clean the deleted binaries from the write-disabled shard.

To set the write-disable mode on a shard in Artifactory, see the Configuring State-Aware Binary Provider section.

Support for Matrix-params with Conan Repositories

Feature Enhancements 

Restricting System and Repository Imports

Artifactory allows admin users to import and export data at both the system level and the repository level. For more information, see Import and Export.

Sometimes, however, it is advantageous to restrict imports to avoid causing undesirable results. With this new feature, the system and repository import options can be disabled, thereby preventing specific admin users in the enterprise from performing imports. For example, you can stop an admin from overriding the Release Bundles distributed to an Artifactory Edge, by preventing them from importing the initial Artifactory state. For more information, see Importing and Exporting.
