Subject: General Availability Announcement for Continuous Delivery Director 8.2

 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 8.2 is now available.

New features for Continuous Delivery Director 8.2 include:

• Blue/Green Deployments - Reduce downtime and risk by letting CDD dynamically select the target environment at runtime to support blue/green deployments.
• Application Import Filtering - Import just the applications you need by setting up application sources with user-defined filters.
• .NET Agent for Test Suites - Map modified .NET (C#, Visual Basic, and so on) source code files to test suites and run only relevant tests. We've developed a .NET coverage agent that registers code coverage data; for each executed test suite, the agent collects the list of source code files it covered.
• Token Usability Enhancements - Manage tokens throughout your pipeline with advanced search and filtering options.
• Releases Page Redesign - Use our updated release page with new user-friendly features to design and manage your release pipeline.
• Release Analysis Report Makeover - Use our new Gantt chart view to visualize your release activities by months, weeks, days, or even hours.
• Application Management UI Enhancements - Start using our simplified application management flow with our improved Applications page.
• Selected Endpoint Export - Export just a single endpoint from the ENDPOINTS page instead of all listed endpoints.
• Liquibase Plug-in - Integrate Liquibase with your release pipeline to achieve full-stack continuous integration and continuous delivery for your applications. The Liquibase plug-in provides CI/CD for your SQL databases.
• Plug-in Enhancements - Check out our mission-critical updates for the following plug-ins: Maven Testing; MS Teams; ServiceNow; CucumberJVM; Ansible Tower, CDD extension for Azure DevOps Server SaaS; CDD extension for Teamcity; AWS CodeDeploy; Slack.
