• Update appearance for feed bar and description button to be modern and consistent. (pull 5664)

What's new in 2.307 (2021-08-17)

• Replace the term "master" with "controller" (for the main Jenkins application) or "built-in node" in user interface strings and documentation as appropriate. (pull 5425)
• Add migration code to change the node name (e.g. NODE_NAME environment variable) and label of the built-in node only after explicit migration by an administrator. New installations get the new node and label immediately. If a job definition, Pipeline definition, or tool installer reference must be tied to the built-in node, it should use the label "built-in". (Built-In Node Name and Label Migration)
• Add the system property jenkins.model.Jenkins.nodeNameAndSelfLabelOverride to specify a different node name and label for the built-in node (e.g. for Configuration as Code use cases) than the one otherwise determined. This will not affect other uses of the node name, such as the URL to the built-in node (now /computer/(built-in)/). (pull 5425)
• GDSL file in jenkins-core library no longer reports an IllegalStateException when used in IntelliJ IDEA. (pull 5662)

Users of the Azure Artifact Manager, Azure Container Agents, Azure Storage, and Azure SDK API plugins must upgrade those plugins to the latest versions in lockstep with this core upgrade. Plugins that consume Woodstox should depend on it directly or via the Jackson 2 API plugin. (pull 5651, Woodstox implementation, StAX API, Azure Artifact Manager plugin, Azure Container Agents plugin, Azure Storage plugin, Azure SDK API plugin, Jackson 2 API plugin)
