This new plugin endpoint introduced in 15.1 allows Go's already long list of source code materials to be extended without making changes to the core!
Support for this endpoint brought along support for GitHub pull requests, contributed by an external contributor @ashwanthkumar (so exciting!), with support from a Go core contributor, @srinivasupadhya.

Improvements to the console log
GoCD now supports rendering of ANSI color codes to show you much more beautiful console logs. Additionally, Go will automatically follow the logs as your build produces it, very much like your favorite terminal program.

What's new in GoCD 15.3.1
Important: 15.3.1 has been removed from the downloads page because it had an issue which could have caused problems during configuration save. The issue
mentioned is fixed in 16.1.0. The rest of the issues mentioned below are a part of 16.1.0 as well. We highly recommend upgrading to 16.1.0.
We are moving to a more regular release schedule, and so you might see releases with mostly issues fixed, while bigger level features are in progress across releases.

Agents page (Beta)
This is a new page for managing agents, which should feel a lot more light weight and snappier than the existing agents page.
The entire application has been refreshed to sport a flat look.

Important: 16.2 has been removed from the downloads page because it had an issue which caused problems while installing windows agents.
Important: This release fixes several XSS and CSRF vulnerabilities which can be exploited in earlier versions. As the changes are extensive, patches for older releases will not be provided. We recommend all users to upgrade to this version to safeguard your GoCD server.
These security vulnerabilities were responsibly disclosed by drrb. We want to give users some time to upgrade, before providing more details about the vulnerabilities. We will work with drrb on the specifics of providing these details, soon.
Currently, editing a pipeline means navigating through multiple pages (and page refreshes), for modifying stages, jobs with tabs for options and environment variables, etc. Quick edit to make it smoother.
**Important:** After the 17.9 release, we made an announcement asking users to hold off upgrading their GoCD instance. We found an issue (<%= link_to("#3834", "https://github.com/gocd/gocd/issues/#{3834}") %>) affecting a small set of users. This release provides a fix for the same.
GoCD currently supports password-file, LDAP and plugin based authentication.
