##Features & enhancements

###Pipelines: RBAC for Pipeline Runtimes
8
-
We have further strengthened security for pipelines with RBAC permissions for Pipeline Runtimes.
9
-
RBAC for Pipeline Runtimes enhances the permissions system with granular access control not just for Pipeline Runtimes, but also for runtime environments and resources within pipelines.

+
###General: Personalized menus
10
8
9
+
We have introduced a powerful feature that gives admins even more control over the Codefresh platform: customizable menus!
11
10
11
+
Take control of your account's menu items and personalize the interface to create a more user-friendly and productive environment.
12
+
Simplify navigation by hiding unnecessary menu items and decluttering the sidebar, ensuring that users can quickly the pages they need.
12
13
13
-
#####Key benefits
14
-
* Granular control over runtimes
15
-
Precisely manage access to runtime environments. For example, restrict access to production environments to safeguard production resources, or grant exclusive access to high-performance runtime environments for high-priority projects, ensuring they have the necessary resources.
16
-
* Optimized resource management for runtimes
17
-
Optimize performance without admin intervention by allowing teams to adjust CPU and memory settings for pipeline builds.
18
-
* Optimized cloud builds
19
-
Optimize performance for cloud builds by enabling teams to set cloud builds and select the appropriate resource sizes for the build.

#####How does it work?
22
-
Similar to other entities, you implement RBAC for Pipeline Runtimes, runtime builds, and resources, through tags and rules. After adding tags to Pipeline Runtimes, you can define rules for the Pipeline Runtimes, and for runtime environments and resources within pipelines.
15
+
We've added a new page to Settings entitled**Modules**. Admins can decide exactly which menu items are displayed in the sidebar for all users in the account.

43

%}
25
+
Using the toggle method, you can easily customize what's visible: switch to ON to display an item and OFF to hide it.

For details, see[Assign tags to Pipeline Runtimes]({{site.baseurl}}/docs/administration/account-user-management/access-control/#assign-tags-to-pipeline-runtimes) and[Creating rules for Pipeline Runtimes and runtime environments]({{site.baseurl}}/docs/administration/account-user-management/access-control/#creating-rules-for-pipeline-runtimes-and-runtime-environments).
The Open Source ArgoCD project published a high-severity security vulnerability. We recommend upgrading your GitOps Runtime to version 0.9.0, which includes a fix for this issue, along with other small fixes and features.
38
+
For even more precise control, you can toggle individual pages on or off.

This CVE affects webhook processing and is relevant only to customers who have configured webhooks.

###GitOps: External links for Kubernetes app & ingress resources (probably not in this release)
57
-
The Current State tab in our GitOps Apps dashboard is the central location to view and manage all the resources in your applications. We are always looking to enhance productivity and here's the
58

newest functionality: external Links for application and ingress resources!
59
54
60
-
#####External links to app resources
61
-
External links are user-defined URLs in Argo CD that can point to any external resource such as monitoring pages or documentation. These links, added through annotations in resources, are automatically rendered in Codefresh.
62
-
Now you can add external links to your resources in_directly in Codefresh_. Once added, a clickable link icon is displayed next to the resource in the Tree view for easy and smooth navigation.

###General: Brand-new search mechanism and experience
59
+
We’re excited to introduce the revamped search mechanism for our doc site!
60

61
+
**Context-aware**
62
+
Wherever you are in Codefresh and open search from the toolbar, either from Global Search & Navigation by typing`help` or by clicking the Help icon,
63
+
you’ll get a curated list of articles that are context-sensitive to your location in the UI to kick-start your search.
64
+
65
+
**AI for percise answers**
66
+
For even more relevant results, we have also integrated AI with the free-text search. Ask questions and receive precise answers to find exactly what you need.
Additionally, for an enriched information experience, check out our collection of blog posts from our experts.

###Pipelines: Dedicated environment variables for pull request titles

For details, see[Working with applications in Environments]({{site.baseurl}}/docs/dashboards/gitops-environments/#working-with-applications-in-environments) and[Working with applications in Products]({{site.baseurl}}/docs/dashboards/gitops-products/#working-with-applications-in-products).
106
+
We’ve made a change to how pull request titles are handled by environment variables in pipelines.
119
107
108
+
The environment variables {% raw %}`${{CF_COMMIT_MESSAGE}}`{% endraw %} and {% raw %}`${{CF_COMMIT_MESSAGE_ESCAPED}}`{% endraw %} now return the commit message instead of the pull request title.
120
109
110
+
To get the pull request title, use the new environment variables:
111
+
* {% raw %}`${{CF_PULL_REQUEST_TITLE}}`{% endraw %}
112
+
* {% raw %}`${{CF_PULL_REQUEST_TITLE_ESCAPED}}`{% endraw %}
113
+
114
+
To use the new variables for pull request titles, update your pipelines accordingly. As they are already supported by the system, you can begin using them immediately.
115
+
