v3.112.0

v3.112.0 (2025-11-12)

Full Changelog

Warning

Known issue: the disconnect-after-idle-timeout option in this version does not take effect until an agent has run a job, and so agents that never run a job will never disconnect. Fixed in the following version v3.113.0 via #3579

Added

The agent can now annotate jobs as well as builds! Job annotations will show up in a dedicated section of the job detail
in the build UI. This is a great way to provide additional, richly-formatted context and information about specific jobs.

See the PR for more details.

Changed

v3.111.0

v3.111.0 (2025-11-05)

Full Changelog

Warning

If you use a custom S3 bucket for artifacts, this applies to you.

As part of updating to AWS Go SDK v2, the "credential chain" for providing
authentication credentials to access artifacts in custom S3 buckets, is now
more standard. The existing BUILDKITE_S3_ env vars are still available and
take precedence, but when these are not set, the AWS-default mechanisms are
used as provided by the SDK, with as few customisations as possible.

This means additional ways to pass credentials to the AWS S3 client may be
accepted, and where multiple credentials are available, the precedence may
have changed (to match what the AWS SDK expects by default).

Because of this, and the number of combinations of different ways to provide
credentials, this change may inadvertently break pipelines using custom S3
buckets for artifacts. Please reach out to support@buildkite.com or raise
issues in GitHub if this impacts you!

v3.110.0

v3.110.0 (2025-10-22)

Full Changelog

Added

• Configurable chunks interval #3521 (@catkins)
• Inject OpenTelemetry context to all child processes #3548 (@zhming0)
  • This is done using environment variables. This may interfere with existing OTel environment variables if they are manually added some other way.
• Add --literal and --delimiter flags to artifact upload #3543 (@DrJosh9000)

Changed

Various improvements and fixes to do with signal and cancel grace periods, and signal handling, most notably:

• When cancelling a job, the timeout before sending a SIGKILL to the job has changed from cancel-grace-period to signal-grace-period (--signal-grace-period-seconds flag, BUILDKITE_SIGNAL_GRACE_PERIOD_SECONDS env var) to allow the agent some extra time to upload job logs and mark the job as finished. By default, signal-grace-period is 1 second shorter than cancel-grace-period. You may wish to increase cancel-grace-period accordingly.
• When SIGQUIT is handled by the bootstrap, the exit code is now 131, and it no longer dumps a stacktrace.
• The recently-added --kubernetes-log-collection-grace-period flag is now deprecated. Instead, use --cancel-grace-period.
• When running the agent interactively, you can now Ctrl-C a third time to exit immediately.
• In Kubernetes mode, the agent now begins shutting down on the first SIGTERM. The kubernetes-bootstrap now swallows SIGTERM with a logged message, and waits for the agent container to send an interrupt.
• When the agent is cancelling jobs because it is stopping, all jobs start cancellation simultaneously. This allows the agent to exit sooner when multiple workers (--spawn flag) are used.
