Improved Documentation
----------------------

- Changed PluginList link from trac wiki directly to the GitHub wiki.

Features
--------

- Created a `TelegramBot` for notification and control through Telegram messaging app.
- Added support for environment variable P4CONFIG to class ``P4Source``
- Allow to define behavior for GitCommit when there is nothing to commit.
- Add support for revision links to Mercurial poller
- Support recursive matching ('**') in MultipleFileUpload when `glob=True` (requires python3.5+ on the worker)

Bug fixes
---------

- allow committer of a change to be null for new setups (:issue:`4987`)
- custom_templates are now working again.
- Locks will no longer allow being acquired more times than the `maxCount` parameter if this parameter is changed during master reconfiguration.

Features
--------

- Improve log cleaning performance by using delete with join on supported databases.
- Hiding/showing of inactive builders is now possible in Waterfall view.

Highlights
----------

Database upgrade may take a while on larger instances on this release due to newly added index.

Bug fixes
---------

- Add an index to `steps.started_at` to boost expensive SQL queries.
- Fix handling of the `refs_changed` event in the BitBucket Server web hook.
- Fix errors when disconnecting a libvirt worker (issue 4844).
- Fix Bitbucket Cloud hook crash due to changes in their API (issue 4873).
- Fix `GerritEventLogPoller` was using the wrong date format.
- Fix janitor Exception when there is no logchunk to delete.
- Reduced the number of SQL queries triggered by `getPrevSuccessfulBuild()` by up to 100.
- `buildbot.util.git.GitStepMixin`: Prevent builders from corrupting temporary ssh data path by using builder name as part of the path
- `buildbot.util.git.GitTag`: Allow `tagName` to be a renderable.
- Fix Github error reporting to handle exceptions that happen before the HTTP request is sent.
- `buildbot.changes.gitpoller.GitPoller`: Trigger on pushes with no commits when the new revision is not the tip of another branch.
- `buildbot.steps.source.git.Git`: Fix the invocation of `git submodule foreach` on cleaning.
- Fix StatsService not correctly clearing old consumers on reconfig.
- Fix various errors in try client with Python 3 (issue 4765).
- Prevent accidental start of multiple force builds in web UI (issue 4823).
- The support for proxying Buildbot frontend to another Buildbot instance during development has been fixed.
This feature has been broken since v2.3.0, and is now completely re-implemented for best performance, ease of use and maintainability.

Improved Documentation
----------------------

- Document why some listed icons may not work out-of-the-box when building a custom dashboard (issue 4939).
- Improve Vault secrets management documentation and examples.
- Link the documentation of `www.port` to the capabilities of `twisted.application.strports`.
- Move the documentation on how to submit PRs out of the trac wiki to the documentation shipped with Buildbot, update and enhance it.

Features
--------

- Update buildbot worker image to Ubuntu 18.04 (issue 4928).
- `buildbot.worker.docker.DockerLatentWorker`: Added support for docker build contexts, `buildargs`, and specifying controlling context.
- The `buildbot.changes.gerritchangesource.GerritChangeFilter` and `buildbot.changes.gerritchangesource.GerritEventLogPoller` now populate the `files` attribute of emitted changes when the `get_files` argument is true. Enabling this feature triggers an additional HTTP request or SSH command to the Gerrit server for every emitted change.
- Buildbot now warns users who connect using unsupported browsers.
- Boost janitor speed by using more efficient SQL queries.
- Scheduler properties are now renderable.
- `buildbot.steps.python.Sphinx`: Added `strict_warnings` option to fail on warnings.
- UI now shows a paginated view for trigger step sub builds.

Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------

- Support for older browsers that were not working since 2.3.0 has been removed due to technical limitations.
Notably, Internet Explorer 11 is no longer supported.
Currently supported browsers are Chrome 56, Firefox 52, Edge 13 and Safari 10, newer versions of these browsers and their compatible derivatives.
This set of browsers covers 98% of users of buildbot.net.

Bug fixes
---------

- Fix vulnerability in OAuth where user-submitted authorization token was used for authentication
(https://github.com/buildbot/buildbot/wiki/OAuth-vulnerability-in-using-submitted-authorization-token-for-authentication). Thanks to Phillip Kuhrt for reporting it.

Highlights
----------

- Support for older browsers has been hopefully temporarily broken due to frontend changes in progress. Notably, Internet Explorer 11 is not supported in this release. Currently supported browsers are Chrome 56, Firefox 52, Edge 13 and Safari 10, newer versions of these browsers and their compatible derivatives. This set of browsers covers 98% of users of buildbot.net.

Bug fixes
---------

- Fixed :bb:step:`Git` to clean the repository after the checkout when submodules are enabled. Previously this action could lead to untracked module directories after changing branches.
- Latent workers with negative `build_wait_timeout` will be shutdown on master shutdown.
- Latent worker will now wait until `start_instance()` before starting `stop_instance()` or vice-versa. Master will wait for these functions to finish during shutdown.
- Latent worker will now correctly handle synchronous exception from the backend worker driver.
- Fixed a potential error during database migration when upgrading to versions >=2.0 (:issue:`4711`).

Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------

- The implementation language of the Buildbot web frontend has been changed from CoffeeScript to JavaScript. The documentation has not been updated yet, as we plan to transition to TypeScript. In the transitory period support for some browsers, notably IE 11 has been dropped. We hope to bring support for older browsers back once the transitory period is over.
- The support for building Buildbot using npm as package manager has been removed. Please use yarn as a replacement that is used by Buildbot developers.
