Hi All,

A new version of Continua CI has been released and is available from [Continua CI Downloads](https://www.finalbuilder.com/downloads/continuaci). The latest stable version of Continua is 1.9.2.1177.

**Changes in v1.9.2.1177**

- Feature: Updates to [Set Variable action](https://wiki.finalbuilder.com/x/jQEK) to allow update of server variables from build process.
  - New options to update server variables, e.g. Configuration, Project or Application variables.
  - New options to keep a write lock on a server variable until the end of the build or stage.
  - Ability to wait for a write lock on server variable by another build to be released.

# 

- Feature: Added “replace with regular expression” option to Set Variable action to allow replacement of parts of the variable value which match a pattern.
- Feature: New [Load Variable action](https://wiki.finalbuilder.com/x/DIAZC) which can be used to load the current value of Configuration, Project and Application variables into a build variable.
- Feature: New [Acquire Variable Lock action](https://wiki.finalbuilder.com/x/EYAZC) which can be used to acquire a write lock on Configuration, Project and Application variables until the end of the build or stage.
- Feature: New [Release Variable Lock action](https://wiki.finalbuilder.com/x/HYAZC) which can be used to release a write lock on Configuration, Project and Application variables acquired by the current build.
- Feature: New [Load Build Variable build event handler](https://wiki.finalbuilder.com/x/PIAZC) which can be used to load a build variable with the current value of the corresponding server variable when specific events happen in the build timeline.
- Feature: Added new [custom load messages](https://wiki.finalbuilder.com/x/BoBU) ‘setServerVariable’, ‘loadVariable’, ‘acquireVariableLock’ and ‘releaseVariableLock’ and updated ‘setVariable’ (now named ‘setBuildVariable’) message parameters.

# 

- Update: The bundled PostgreSQL database service has been upgraded to version 16.0.

> **Note that upgrading the major version number of PostgreSQL requires a full backup and restore of the databases. This will be performed automatically during installation and can take several minutes for large databases.**

- Update: Replaced SSH components and updated SSH server settings to only allow secure ciphers and to pass ssh-audit tests.
- Update: Added new server property Server.RepositoryTrigger.QuietPeriodInSeconds.Default for specifying the default repository trigger quiet period.
- Update: The DotNet Test action now accepts an assembly as the test file.
- Update: Performance improvements to database queries run when resetting repositories.
- Update: Added new property collectors for dotnet runtime v6.0.21, v6.0.22, v7.0.10, v7.0.11, v8.0.0-preview.7 and v8.0.0-rc.1; and sdk v6.0.413, v6.0.414, v7.0.302, v7.0.400, v7.0.401, v8.0.100-preview.7 and v8.0.100-rc.1.

# 

- Fix: The “Log files which match pattern” option for the 7-Zip Create action was not working.
- Fix: Removed duplicate ReportGenerator property collectors which were created on server restart.
- Fix: Action messages are now expanded with correct values when under iteration for a looping action.

# 

- Updates to some third party packages.

**Note:** You will need to update your agents after upgrading the server to this build.
