Self-Hosted​

• Helm: The ReplicatedSDK image is now pulled from the Replicated registry instead of Docker Hub. For airgap installations, ensure you update your automation processes for pulling and pushing images to your private registry. For more information, refer to the Airgap Installation page.

• Queues: Merged the secrets_checks queue with the background validity checks queue to optimize performance.

Fixes​

• Secrets:
  • Check runs: Updated messages to note flagged secrets lack commit references and remain compromised once leaked.
  • Validity check: Fixed an issue where the tooltip incorrectly indicated a token was valid for all endpoints when it was valid for only one.
• Sources:
  • GitLab: Enable viewing of more than 50,000 GitLab projects in the integration settings.
• Alerting:
  • Jira issue tracking: Fixed an issue where line feeds (\n) were not properly translated to hardBreak nodes, ensuring correct spacing in Jira tickets.
• Self-Hosted:
  • Admin area: Corrected sorting and filters on the Worker Tasks page for improved usability.
