Subject: General Availability Announcement for Continuous Delivery Director 8.0

On behalf of Broadcom, we appreciate your business and the opportunity to provide you with high-quality, innovative software and services. As part of our ongoing commitment to customer success, we regularly release updated versions of our products. Today, we are pleased to announce that Continuous Delivery Director 8.0 is now available. 

 New features for Continuous Delivery Director 8.0 include: 

• Color Theme - Take a tour around our new-look user interface updated with the latest company branding.
• Parametrized Release Import/Export - Increase release DSL template reuse by storing the DSL parameters with the created release. Export a template release created by a parametrized DSL file to generate a new DSL file containing the original parameters.
• System Tokens - Whenever you create or duplicate a release, check out our new collection of system tokens. These tokens display the state of tasks, phases, and releases in the system and help make the deployment process more agile and flexible.
• Rollback Management - Use system tokens to quickly roll back to the last build that was deployed in your environment (before the latest deployment).
• Business Applications - Consolidate your applications under a business application.
• Create Releases and Run Adaptive Tests from Jenkins Build Notifications - Whether you use Jenkins pipelines or freestyle projects, you can create releases, and trigger adaptive testing in CDD based on build notifications.
• Track Enhancements - Completely control your complex pipeline by dividing production phases into multiple stages, say for each region or data center. View the dependencies between each stage with our stunning new visuals.
• New Permission - Can Manage Production Task - Lets you nominate production task owners who can manage their tasks without changing any other production phase settings.
