Changelog #4

New resource controls for recipes and bulk ownership assignments

Dec 19, 2024

Happy holidays! This is our last changelog before Christmas, so we loaded this week up with a few improvements we think will make managing your software catalog much easier. Since most of the team will be under the influence of eggnog next week, our next changelog will drop on New Year’s Eve!

Spotlights

Bulk owner assignment and classification of Resources

The multi-select improvements debuted in last week’s changelog for People and Teams has been rolled out to the Resources list. Now you can assign ownership and classify resources in bulk. A software catalog is only as useful as the data in it, and keeping that data accurate and properly attributed just got easier with this release. We’re going to be rolling this out Tempest-wide in the next release—it takes a little bit of thought to make sure that the bulk actions play nice with all the dynamic and page specific metadata and filters.

Toggling resources available in your recipes

We've introduced new controls for managing apps and resources in your recipes. You can now enable or disable specific resources and entire apps from being used in recipes, giving you more granular control over what tech you want to support within your organization.

The new controls include:

  • Global toggles for entire apps

  • Per-resource controls for fine-grained management

  • Automatic hiding of disabled options from recipe selection

Image upload improvements

We’ve made uploading images easier across all the places you can upload images:

  • Organization logo

  • User profiles photos

  • Recipe screenshots

The new uploader will automatically optimize your images, and should be a lot less finicky as long as you’re uploading images less than 20mb in size. Typical formats are supported: png, gif, jpg, and webp.


Improvements & Bug Fixes

General

  • We’ve added a bit of smart rendering of your resource names. Previously, if you had an app named ArgoCD, and a resource named ArgoCD Application, it would be displayed as “ArgoCD ArgoCD Application” in some places. Moving forward, this should now be displayed as you expect: “ArgoCD Application”.

  • We’ve fixed a bug where the the days left in trial CTA could show negative numbers.

New Apps & Updates

  • Last week we shipped support for Azure repos—but the autocomplete for your repos were resolving as UUIDs. That’s been fixed now, and you no longer need to translate UUIDs to import your Azure repos. 🎉

Recipes, Projects, and Deployments

  • Fixed a bug where deployment status message and icon would show as Ready when, indeed, the resources were not yet ready

  • We’ve changed the way owners are displayed in the project and resource page sidebar. It should be clearer now who the team owner and author are, and more obvious that you can easily reassign the team.
