Spotlights

Exporting your Software Catalog

We’ve built a quick way to export your Software Catalog via CSV. With this update, Tempest now lets you organize, digest, and drive insights on every software component in your catalog, both within and outside of the web interface. Export entire tables for your resources, recipes, projects, and teams, or select specific items from the list.

To export, either select individual items and export them using the right-click contextual menu or using the “…” menu in the top-right corner of the screen. Tempest currently supports exporting Resources, Projects, Teams, and team members.

Improvements & Bug Fixes

Security

  • Improved error boundaries inside of an organization to show proper 404 pages for removed teams.

  • Tempest CLI now uses secure API key input that is detected by modern terminals

Recipes, projects, deployments

  • Updated bulk selection on Resource, Project, Recipe, and Team lists to show the active and indeterminate state of each selected item when updating Ownership, Labels, Classifications, and Products & Features.

  • Updated ownership labels to be standardized across Tempest with both full and truncated versions (for example, a Directly Responsible Individual may be referred to as a DRI in some areas of the product).

  • Fixed a bug where a product or feature could be set as the child of another product or feature that was a descendent of the original item, creating an infinite recursion.

  • Fixed a bug that caused products and features to display incorrect entities.

  • Fixed a bug where project configuration reviews did not always display all values

  • Enhanced validation logic to properly handle the Bring Your Own Repository workflow.

  • Updated governance tags to be split into separate Labels and Classifications pages.

User management

  • Updated pending invites to provide a clearer browser title and redirect back to the list of invites after a successful submission.

  • Improved the People list to show each person’s active teams as their own tags with the team’s active highlight color.

Developer ecosystem

  • Tempest CLI now correctly handles revoked API keys.

  • Updated our examples to reflect the latest changes in the Private App schema.
