Repository Manager 3.23.0
2020-05-05
We are pleased to present Nexus Repository Manager 3.23.0.
Import for Raw and Maven formats (Pro Only)
In Nexus Repository Manager 3.23.0, we focus on importing content from an external source and for a subset of formats. This can help customers migrate content from Nexus Repository Manager 2 to Nexus Repository Manager 3 at their own pace.
Import is implemented as a task. You can configure the Repository - Import external files task from Settings → Tasks → Create Task as show here:
Nexus Intelligence via npm audit
We are excited to announce enhanced Javascript support with Nexus Intelligence via npm audit for Nexus Repository Manager. Nexus Intelligence via npm audit will allow developers to check for policy violations in their Javascript projects, using the npm audit command built into the npm CLI, coupled with the precise data of Nexus Intelligence. Running the npm audit command lists all known vulnerable dependencies from your package.json file while gaining the benefits of the most precise intelligence regarding security vulnerabilities, license risk, and architectural quality of open source components.
This feature will be available to both Nexus Repository OSS and Pro users and will require a license of Nexus Firewall or Nexus Lifecycle (Nexus IQ version 89 and above). Nexus Repository Manager admins can enable Nexus Intelligence via npm audit across all development teams without having to modify any setup on the developers’ machines.
