Checking the release notes at https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/11-0-17-relnotes.html I see 11.0.17 contains fixes for JDK-8231454 and JDK-8268773, which are relevant to Jenkins. The update of tzdata will also resolve JENKINS-69635. The fix for JDK-8231454 was already worked around in Pipeline: Groovy and Script Security, and I manually stepped through the workaround code on 11.0.17 to verify that it was harmless (though unnecessary) on an 11.0.17 JVM with the fix for JDK-8231454. The fix for JDK-8268773 should not be needed as of recent versions of Remoting. I ran my local development Jenkins controller on 11.0.17 and did not experience any problems running various job types interactively. I also ran the following test suites on 11.0.17 successfully:
- Jenkins core smoke tests - Pipeline: Groovy - Script Security - Remoting A quick perusal of https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/jdk-updates-dev/2022-October/ does not appear to show any major regressions in the past week since the release took place, unlike 11.0.16 (where https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/jdk-updates-dev/2022-August/016460.html was being actively discussed). Based on the above, I do not anticipate any problems with the C2 JIT compiler, the metaspace, or container awareness for cgroups v2 (which are the three categories where we experienced issues with 11.0.16). If it is feasible without too much effort to run the BOM test suite against 11.0.17 before our agents are upgraded, I think that would be safest. But if that is not practical, I think it would be fine to upgrade our agents and merely monitor core and BOM builds afterward to ensure no new failures are introduced. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Developers" group.
