v3.112.0

v3.112.0 (2025-11-12)

Full Changelog

Warning

Known issue: the disconnect-after-idle-timeout option in this version does not take effect until an agent has run a job, and so agents that never run a job will never disconnect. Fixed in the following version v3.113.0 via #3579

Added

The agent can now annotate jobs as well as builds! Job annotations will show up in a dedicated section of the job detail
in the build UI. This is a great way to provide additional, richly-formatted context and information about specific jobs.

See the PR for more details.

Changed

• Agents will now check for new work more quickly immediately after finishing a job #3571 (@DrJosh9000)

Fixed

• IdleMonitor-related fixes #3570 (@DrJosh9000)
• Fix confusing error message when hashing artifact payloads #3565 (@moskyb)

• Dependency updates #3575 #3574 #3573 #3572 (@dependabot[bot])
