What’s new in Artifactory?

Artifactory version will get a bump up from the current 6.8.6 to the brand new 6.9.1.

JFrog has been busy continuously improving on what (and we think we can all agree on this) is a pretty great product to begin with. New features and improvements for this release include:

• Docker Manifest v2, Schema 1 support for Docker Registries on Artifactory
• NPM Virtual Repository performance improvements for even quicker npm package installations
• Two new REST API endpoints for retrieving permission targets associated with a specific user or group:
  • Get Permission Targets Per User
  • Get Permission Targets Per Group
• Bug fixes and other minor enhancements.

Helix TeamHub will receive and update the latest and greatest release to date – version 2019.1.1.
