If you want to purchase support, you should probably use the long term support release (current 2.190.3) rather than a weekly release.
If you're using git as your source control system, then you probably also want to install a newer version of git than is naturally installed with CentOS 7. Git version 1.8 as included with CentOS 7 was initially released 7 years ago. It lacks the many improvements that have been made to git as it has evolved to the current git 2.24 release. > Issue1: Anyone noticed that when logged in as admin user, you'll get the > info that a new version of jenkins is out, but the link to the changelog > gives you infos about the previous version ?

Since the changelog is created on personal time and with personal effort, the transition from the previous maintainer of the changelog to me has caused me to respond more slowly than the previous maintainer did. I may become more willing to spend my late Sunday evening preparing the changelog in the future, but that is assuming I'm willing to surrender my Sunday evening every week to create the changelog. Would you like to help with generating the changelog? I'm happy to host a session with you, show you the techniques, and let you assist, especially on those times when my personal time is not as available. We are moving towards more and more automation of the Jenkins changelog process. We've already automated many of the plugin changelogs, but the Jenkins changelog is larger and more complicated than any plugin changelog. We hope to continue making progress on that automation in coming weeks and months. > Issue2: Using the "Check job prerequisites" plugin.

Don't make it worse by using a network file system. Use a local file system for the agent rather than a network file system. You'll avoid complexities with git repositories and with other forms of file access in Jenkins. I prefer to launch Windows agents on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2019 using the Windows OpenSSH server port. Instructions are available in the ssh slaves configuration manual <https://github.com/jenkinsci/ssh-slaves-plugin/blob/master/doc/CONFIGURE.md#launch-windows-slaves-using-microsoft-openssh> . *Personal opinion mode off* > Issue4: Any hints to detect which agent is meant when the message "SSH > Host Key Verifiers are not configured for all SSH agents on this Jenkins > instance.

Enhancement requests are submitted to the same tracker as is used for bug reports. As a short term work around, If you're using static agents, then the definition of the static agents are stored in %JENKINS_HOME%\nodes. One or more of the configuration files in that directory will include the text "sshHostKeyVerificationStrategy" with a "class=" entry on the same line which tells you the type of verification used by that agent. The name of the class will tell you the type of verification being used.
