Eclipse Che 7.71.0

Major Enhancement

All personal access tokens used in Che workspaces are listed in user preferences UI

Developers can list and manage Git personal access tokens from user preferences. This applies to token that has been created from the Che Dashboard UI as well as those that have been created manually (using a Kubernetes secret).

Support building a custom Devfile registry from a Bitbucket server

It's possible for an admin to create a custom Devfile registry from a clone of the Devfiel registry that is hosted on a Bitbucket repository.

Specify which Devfile component hosts the IDE

By default Eclipse Che hosts the IDE (VS Code, IntelliJ or PyCharm) in the first container specified in a Devfile. After this enhancement it is possible to specify the component that will host the IDE using the attribute controller.devfile.io/merge-contribution: true. In the following example the IDE will be hosted in "component2":

schemaVersion: 2.2.0
components:
  - name: component1
    container: 
      image: quay.io/sclorg/postgresql-15-c9s:c9s
  - name: component2
     attributes:
       controller.devfile.io/merge-contribution: true
     container: 
       image: quay.io/devfile/developer-base-image:latest

Automatically configure podman to trust OpenShift internal container registry

With this new feature, when Eclipse is deployed on Red Hat OpenShift, the TLS certificates of the OpenShift internal container registry are trusted by podman. Users can use podman to pull images without adding the certificate manually.

Update existing workspaces IDEs after Eclipse Che upgrade

With this update the IDEs of existing workspaces will be updated automatically after an upgrade or whenever the definition of the IDE changes.

Major Bug Fixes

Fix operator overriding CheCluster customizations

Some fields of the CheCluster such as .spec.components.pluginRegistry.openVSXURL, if customized by an administrator, could be overridden by the operator.

It's possible to add an Azure Devops token from user preferences UI

Developers can now add their Azure Devops personal access token from Che Dashboard user preferences.
