Release highlights

ADT Hub v1.4.0

ADT Hub v1.4.0 reintroduces all the bug fixes from v1.3.0 that were rolled-back in v1.3.1. These fixes were initially withdrawn in v1.3.1 due to problems that affected the download speed of Smart Builds. With v1.4.0, these fixes are restored, resolving previous issues while ensuring improved performance and stability for Smart Build downloads.

The Local Cache Management automation feature has also been added to ADT Hub v1.4.0. to control the cache size of downloaded builds in your local machine, optimizing your system's storage usage and performance.

To enable this automation, you must configure your preferred limit for the cache size of your downloaded builds and set the schedule for when to run the automation. At the scheduled time, ADT Hub triggers the automation to perform the following actions:

1. Cache size check: ADT Hub checks if your local cache size exceeds the specified limit.
2. Cache purge: if the cache size exceeds the specified limit, ADT Hub will automatically delete the cache from the oldest downloaded builds. If, for example, you've set a cache limit of 20 GB and your current cache size is 35 GB, ADT Hub will delete the oldest cache from builds totaling 15 GB to bring the cache size down to the 20 GB limit.

To learn more about using this feature, see Manage local cache size of downloaded builds.

One-time migration process for Smart Builds

To support the Local Cache Management feature, a one-time migration process will automatically occur during your first build download after you've updated to ADT Hub v1.4.0. The migration process will ensure data is streamlined with your new downloads and prevent ADT Hub from downloading whole builds.

Report issues from ADT Hub

The Get Logs option in Application Settings has been replaced with the Report Issue option. This new option simplifies reporting problems to ADT support, making it easier for you to alert ADT support when issues occur in your ADT Hub.
