Changes since 2.176:

Restore Chinese localized resources used by the setup wizard. (issue 57412)
Robustness: Do not put agent offline for runtime exceptions in ComputerListener#onOnline(). (issue 57111)

Notable changes since 2.164.3:

Support for the Remoting mode of the CLI (-remoting option) has been removed. (pull 3838, announcement blog post)
Remove misleading nonStoredPasswordParam symbol for password parameter definitions, since it's actually stored encrypted. (issue 56776)
Remove built-in support for CCtray (cc.xml) files. To restore this feature, install the CCtray XML Plugin. (issue 40750)
Add stop-job CLI command which allows aborting builds. (issue 11888)
Add support for turning off a log recorder in the logger configuration. (issue 56200)
Add the run parameter filter value to REST API responses. (issue 56554)
Update status icon of a build when the build is finished. (issue 16750)
Remove misleading references to Java Web Start and JNLP from GUI surrounding inbound Jenkins agents. (pull 3998)
Inform administrators about potentially unsafe permissions setup involving builds running as the virtual SYSTEM user. (issue 24513)
Add a log message to build logs when builds run with the virtual SYSTEM authentication. (pull 3908)
Migrate all Chinese localization resources into Localization: Chinese (Simplified) plugin. (pull 4008)
Adjust stream flushing behavior for code running remotely on agents for better performance. This may lead to loss of messages for plugins which print to a build log from the agent machine but do not flush their output. Use -Dhudson.util.StreamTaskListener.AUTO_FLUSH=true to restore the previous behavior for freestyle builds. Note that Pipeline builds always expect remote flush. (pull 3961)
Update Winstone from 5.1 to 5.2 to make HTTPS cipher exclusions configurable. (issue 56659 , issue 56591 , full changelog)
Remove Mailer related localized strings from core. Make sure you use Mailer Plugin 1.23. (issue 55292)
Do not offer a workspace lease to a new build if it is already in use by a (Pipeline) build running across an agent reconnection. (issue 50504)
Developer: Update Stapler from 1.256 to 1.257 to add support for loading localized webapp resources from any plugin. Add jenkins.PluginLocaleDrivenResourceProvider interface for plugins to participate in localized resource lookup. (JEP-216, full changelog)
Developer: Update Localizer library from 1.24 to 1.26 allowing plugins to override the lookup for localized resource files. (pull 3896, JEP-216, full changelog)
Developer: Add Jelly UI component f:secretTextarea for multi-line secrets analogous to f:password for single-line. (pull 3967, Storing Secrets in Jenkins)
Developer: SystemProperties may now be used from agent-side code. See SystemProperties#allowOnAgent. (pull 3961)
