Hi all CCNet 1.5.0 RC1 has been released! It has taken us longer than we hoped for, but here it is. The RC1 fixes many bugs reported on the CTP, but also has some extra goodies. This build is already used by many people in production environments, but a backup is never a bad idea [?]
You can have a look at the new dashboard at : http://build.nauck-it.de/ViewFarmReport.aspx The release notes can be found at : <http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/CCNET/CCNet+1.5+CTP+Release+Notes> http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/CCNET/CCNet+1.5+RC1+Release+Notes And you can download it from sourceforge at : https://sourceforge.net/projects/ccnet/ Let us know what you think of this release, and please report any issues This will only make CCNet even better [?] For those not knowing what is new since 1.4.4 : (the major points only) Security It is now possible to secure parts of CruiseControl.NET. Security is all based on the server-side, and is set in ccnet.config. Currently it is possible to lock down the following items: - Viewing projects - Forcing/aborting builds - Starting/stopping projects - Viewing security settings - Modifying security settings - Viewing configuration - Changing configuration A few new source control systems RoboCopy, VSTS, Ftp<http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/CCNET/FTP+Source+control>, Git<http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/CCNET/Git+Source+Control+Block>and Mercurial<http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/CCNET/Mercurial+Source+Control+Block>. The last 2 are DVCS, so an entire new kind of source control! New Tasks/Publishers A number of new tasks have been added: - Parallel Task<http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/CCNET/Parallel+Task>and Sequential Task<http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/CCNET/Sequential+Task>- allow running tasks in parallel or in sequence, or any combination of the two. While this can speed things up, be careful of using too much parallelism as each parallel task uses its own thread and there is only a limited thread pool. - NCover tasks - perform NCover analysis and reporting within CC.NETitself (no need to run it in a build script). - PowerShell Task<http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/CCNET/PowerShell+Task>- run a PowerShell script. - Conditional Publisher<http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/CCNET/Conditional+Publisher>- this provides a standard way of only running publishers for certain build states. - CruiseServer Control Task<http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/CCNET/CruiseServer+Control+Task>- send control commands to a local or remote instance of CruiseControl.NET. - Ftp task - Publisher<http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/CCNET/Ftp+task+-+Publisher>- upload / download files from a server Dynamic Parameters This allows to ask the user for input on forcing a build, so reducing the amount of CCNet projects. eg.: ask which branch to build Time Line chart This shows the a build overview as a chart.
