| [che-dev] Eclipse Che 7.43 has been released |
Now, when using a Devfile to start a workspace using a JetBrains IDE, the projects from the Devfile are shown in the IDE after startup.
Users token gets automatically injected in the workspace pods at startup and the OpenShift Connector VS Code extension leverages that now. This was already the case for Che server based workspaces and now DevWorkspace based workspaces support it too.
When Che-Theia user preferences (including plugins preferences) are changed, they are persisted in a Kubernetes ConfigMap. When a workspace is restarted or when a new workspace is created the existing user preferences will be loaded. There is still a bug that prevents color theme preferences to be persisted. This is something that was already working with Che server based workspaces.
Che with the DevWorkspace engine now supports on premise private Gitlab repositories. On premise private Bitbucket and github.com private repositories were already supported. Bitbucket Cloud and gitlab.com are not supported yet.
It is now possible to specify pod tolerations and node selector for workspaces of a Che instance setting a CustomCheProperty in CheCluster CR. It's not possible to specify that for just one workspace or for one user: it's a global config.
The previous DevWorkspace based Che-Theia used to take more than 20 seconds to load due to some blocking built-in plugins startup. Now the built-in plugins are not blocking the main Theia process startup anymore.
