>Zuul Project Update: 2024 Fourth Quarter Update</a>
</h2>
<h4>Authored by Clark Boylan, November 18, 2024</h4>
<p>
Welcome to the latest Zuul project update! Were excited to
share our progress, recent milestones, and whats coming up
next. This post covers the key achievements from the past
quarter and gives a sneak peek into the upcoming work.
</p>
<h3>Key Achievements</h3>
<p>
Over the past several months, we released
<a href="https://zuul-ci.org/docs/zuul/latest/releasenotes.html#relnotes-11-1-0">
Zuul 11.1.0</a>
and <a href="https://zuul-ci.org/docs/nodepool/latest/releasenotes.html#relnotes-11-0-0">
Nodepool 11.0.0</a>. These milestones bring many improvements
including: significant performance improvements, new
configuration options supporting large project configurations,
better control over job inheritance, and more useful error
messages reported to users.
</p>
<p>
Many more new features and bugfixes are detailed in the release
notes. Follow the links above and head over there to see
everything that is new.
</p>
<p>
Were thrilled to see these updates make it out to you via
our most recent releases. These performance improvements,
features, and bugfixes ensure that Zuul continues to be
flexible for all of your continuous integration and continuous
deployment needs.
</p>
<h3>What's Coming Up</h3>
<p>
Looking ahead, were excited about the next steps in the Zuul
journey. Heres a preview of what to expect:
</p>
<p>
The Zuul web UI has been overhauled with these changes set
to be included in the next release. This update makes the web
UI much more responsive.
</p>
<p>
Nodepool functionality will be
<a href="https://zuul-ci.org/docs/zuul/latest/developer/specs/nodepool-in-zuul.html">
rolled into Zuul</a>. This gives Zuul operators much more
flexibility in how they build images as well as the ability
to precheck images before deploying them.
</p>
<p>
The Zuul team, in conjunction with the OpenDev team, is
working to ensure these new features work well before they
are released. The OpenDev Zuul deployment is deployed from
HEAD and includes many of these updates already. If you are
interested you can see and test these changes in OpenDev today.
