Agent 2.1.3

Release Notes

Installation Instructions

Added

• Optional preserve_directory_symlinks (default false, Linux and macOS). A symlink to a directory in the revision is installed as a symlink instead of copying the directory it points to
  (#152). The permissions section is not applied through a preserved link.

Fixed

• Lifecycle event results are retried on transient errors. When reporting a result fails with a 5xx or network error, the agent retries with exponential backoff for up to 65 minutes after the command was acknowledged,
  instead of dropping the result. A hook that succeeded no longer fails with "CodeDeploy agent was not able to notify CodeDeploy server the execution result of this lifecycle event". Stopping the agent during retries can take as
  long as the retry period, bounded by kill_agent_max_wait_time_seconds.
• Installing a symlink over an existing file or symlink replaces it (#143). A symlink over an existing directory is refused before any file is copied, and cleanup
  removes dangling symlinks.
• File names that are not valid UTF-8 no longer hang the Install event (#284). They are installed and cleaned up on the next deployment. A destination path that
  contains a line break fails the deployment before any files are copied.
• On Windows, standard users keep read access to the agent's deployment folders (deployment-logs, ongoing-deployment, and others), matching the 0755 folders on Linux and macOS. They cannot modify them.
• Concurrent deployments that create the same missing parent directory no longer fail Install (#429).
• GitHub deployments that use an access token no longer fail with HTTP 401 (#434, #435).

Security

• Improved file system permissions on the agent installation folder on Windows Server.
