Sonatype Nexus Repository 3.55.0 Release Notes

Released June 5, 2023

Highlights in This Release

Improved Flexibility in Resiliency Helm Chart PRO

Fluentbit, External DNS, and the Docker Ingress and service are now all optional in the Helm chart for a resilient Sonatype Nexus Repository deployment in AWS.

Streamlined Experience for Those Using Sonatype Repository Firewall

Those using Sonatype Repository Firewall with Sonatype Nexus Repository will no longer see Repository Health Check references in their Sonatype Nexus Repository instances as Firewall is a much more fully featured tool for identifying security risks in your repositories.

Quick Actions on Welcome Page

To improve user experience, we've added some quick actions to the welcome page to get you using Sonatype Nexus Repository more quickly.

Improved Flexibility in Resiliency Helm Chart

In order to allow you to better control your resilient deployment's configuration, we've updated our Helm chart for a resilient Sonatype Nexus Repository deployment in AWS to make the following configurations optional:

  • Fluentbit

  • External DNS

  • Docker Ingress and service

Added Conan Endpoint

In this release, we implemented the /v2/users/authenticate Conan endpoint for hosted Conan repositories on Sonatype Nexus Repository deployments using H2 or PostgreSQL databases.

Sonatype Nexus Repository still only officially supports Conan v1.

Quick Actions on the Welcome Page

This feature is only available for those who have the Outreach Management capability enabled for their instance.

Your time is important; we don't want you to spend it hunting for what you need. To improve user experience, we've added some quick actions to the welcome page to get you using Sonatype Nexus Repository more quickly. Here's what you can expect to see:

Bug Fixes

  • The Standard request timeout and Extended request timeout fields in the UI:Settings capability are now properly updated when upgrading from older versions.

  • Sonatype Nexus Repository now supports Yum repositories using the caret (^) character in RPM names.

  • Staging move respects the Allow redeploy only on 'latest' tag setting as expected.

  • Subdomain routing now reflects the nexus-context-path.

  • NuGet v3 search in non-HA environments now return components that have a dot after a digit. Note that search works differently in HA, and we are still investigating a fix for HA environments.
