Ocuroot v0.3.16 introduces cascade mode, which allows one command to run all the work associated with a release or intent update, even across different config files, commits or repos.
Final impact? Faster releases and simpler, more reliable CI integration.

In the v0.3.14 release post for @ocuroot.com, I mentioned that CI integration isn't as simple as it could be - so that's been my focus since.
Ocuroot can now perform work across multiple repos and commits in a single run, meaning less setup and faster time to stability.

Cleaned up those annoying UI issues from yesterday and cut v0.3.13. See github.com/ocuroot/ocur...
I don't want to stay on 13 too long (superstitious), so will make some more tweaks today to cut a new version ready to announce later this week.

The biggest change? Phases now run in sequential order - no more complex dependency graphs to mentally untangle!

YAML has become something of a de-facto language for CI/CD and perhaps even DevOps in general. But for Ocuroot I'd like to avoid it as much as possible. This week's post discusses why and how.

Bonus update, Ocuroot now has built-in secret support!
Secrets are set in the UI, encrypted at rest and can be read in builds/deploys in any environment.
This is intended just to get you started, and we'd recommend combining with a more robust tool. As in the screenshot, I'm using Infisical.
