A Special Note About the CIP

This release features a number of improvements that affect the Component Information Panel (CIP). The CIP is the graphical display used in a number of CLM tools including Nexus, Eclipse, and the Application Composition Report.

Nexus Compatibility
For Nexus users, if you upgrade to version 1.13 of the Sonatype CLM Server, you must also upgrade Nexus to version 2.11 or higher. Failure to do so will result in errors in the Nexus CIP due to an incompatibility between CLM and Nexus.
Report Viewing and Browser Caching
Our recommendation is that the browser’s cache be cleared once the CLM Server has been upgraded to 1.13. This will prevent issues when interacting with previously opened reports.

Without clearing the browser’s cache users may experience undesirable behavior such as HTTP errors, or appear like the report functionality is broken.

[Note]

This has been corrected in 1.13, and by clearing the browser’s cache as part of this upgrade, it will not be required in future versions.

Sonatype Data Services

A number of improvements around providing data will be reflected in this release, and will improve the quality of data Sonatype provides. The most notable impact seen in this release includes the update of license related information.

[Note]

Because of these data related changes, Sonatype recommends all users delete their browsing cache to ensure the latest and most up-to-date information is provided.

REST/API Functionality

A number of new publicly available APIs are now available including API functionality allowing you to:

  • Evaluate a component against specific policy.
  • Retrieve policy violation information.
  • Retrieve report information.

    For additional information, please review our API Documentation

Sonatype CLM Server (Web Application)

As a result of data services updates, a number of user interface improvements have been made. This includes:

CLM for Hudson and Jenkins

For users of Sonatype CLM for Hudson and Jenkins, users now have the ability to:

CLM for Maven
Scope is now configurable in CLM for Maven. This functionality is described in the latest update of the CLM for Maven documentation.
CLM for Eclipse
Similar to the CLM for Maven update, CLM for Eclipse now allows scope to be configured. This functionality is described in the latest update of the CLM for Eclipse documentation.
Help and Documentation

While all features and updates described in these release notes are included in the latest documentation, work has been made to improve access to documentation specific to the version of CLM.

Specifically, from this release forward, when clicking on the Help menu item within the CLM Server Web Application, a user will be taken to the matching version of the documentation. Once there, any search of the documentation will only return those results related to that specific version.

Additional Updates
  • Removed Bulk license and SV editor tools from Application Composition Report.
  • Increased max allowed components for CLM scans.
  • Allow manual selection of multiple license options for a component via the Application Composition Report. (For more information see the Application Composition Report Documentation).
  • Support for Operate phase in the CLM Command Line Scanner (CLI).
  • Various Other Bug Fixes.
