Cheers,

I'm proud to announce Webistrano 1.3.

http://labs.peritor.com/webistrano/

Webistrano is a Web UI for managing Capistrano deployments. It lets you 
manage projects and their stages like test, production, and staging with 
different settings. Those stages can then be deployed with Capistrano 
through Webistrano.

The 1.3 adds several new shiny features to Webistrano that make 
deployment easier:

     * Better Git support through Capistrano 2.2
     * Support for Phusion Passenger / mod_rails
     * Ability to temporary disable hosts for a deployment
     * A command-line interface with script/deploy
     * A simple permission system

The complete changelog is available through the Webistrano project site.

One very often demanded feature is the ability to temporary disable a 
host for a deployment. This is helpful when you want to deploy a stage 
without changing the stage configuration even if one or more hosts are 
down. Another scenario is when you want to execute a task only on a 
limited set of servers.

The script/deploy command is a nice little gem, especially useful if you 
want to script Webistrano:

$ ruby script/deploy
Usage: deploy [options] project stage
     -h, --help                       This message
     -e, --environment=ENV            RAILS_ENV for Webistrano (default: 
production)
     -u, --username=NAME              Webistrano username to use 
(default: admin)
     -t, --task=NAME                  Capistrano task to invoke 
(default: deploy)
     -d, --description=TEXT           Deployment comment for Webistrano 
records

Further, Webistrano now offers built-in tasks for managing mod_rails 
deployments. It will override the default deploy tasks and ask for the 
necessary configuration entries so that using mod_rails becomes even easier.

Webistrano 1.3 can be downloaded here.
