Hi All,
We’re excited to start the year 2025 with a new release! RhodeCode Enterprise 5.4.0 is available to bring smarter workflows, tighter security, and improved performance to your development process.
Let’s dive into the highlights!
Key Features in RhodeCode 5.4:
Enhanced workflows
Availability: Community Edition Enterprise Edition
RhodeCode now supports mixed encodings in your repositories. Plus, we’ve refined the remap and rescan logic, offering more robust tools to keep your repositories clean and organized.
Security audit
Availability: Enterprise Edition
Now, admins can scan repositories for potentially sensitive information like passwords, secret keys, and other credentials. Scan is performed in background, and when it's finished, you will receive a notification with a short summary.
Currently, only on-demand scan of the main branch is supported, but lots of improvements are on the way, like the ability to scan different branches, run it on schedule and configure scan rules and plugins!
Speed where it matters
Availability: Community Edition Enterprise Edition
SVN users, rejoice! We’ve implemented advanced caching mechanisms, bringing its performance closer to what Git and Mercurial users enjoy. Additionally, we’ve optimized Git operations by offloading some tasks to VcsServer, ensuring faster and smoother workflows.
Quality-of-life improvements
Availability: Community Edition Enterprise Edition
Small fixes can make a big difference. Long commit messages no longer mess with your UI, fields in admin settings are now masked correctly, and caches calculate properly even when search fields are empty. Observers cannot adjust pull request statuses.
This release also sets the stage for future growth by migrating our build system to pyproject.toml and updating core tools like Mercurial and hg-evolve to their latest versions.
