Hi all CCNet 1.5.0 Final has been released! This release is a mile stone for CCNet in terms of new functionality. It took us a CTP and an RC to be sure it is usable in a production environment, but here it is.
The release notes can be found at : http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/CCNET/CCNet+1.5+Release+Notes And you can download it from source forge at : https://sourceforge.net/projects/ccnet/files/CruiseControl.NET%20Releases/CruiseControl.NET%201.5/CruiseControl.NET-1.5.7256.1-Setup.exe/download For people coming from the 1.4.4, and not following up on the CTP and RC, here's a small list of the new items : 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 Client-side tables for the dashboard The projects list in the web dashboard is now interactive - you can now sort on any column, even multi column sorting is possible. 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 See Dynamic Parameters<http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/CCNET/Dynamic+Parameters>for details. Time Line chart This shows the a build overview as a chart. Translation of the webDashboard Current translation involve French, German and Polish. A duplicate finder This task scans files for duplicates, just a task, no merging needed. Duplicate Finder Task<http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/CCNET/Duplicate+Finder+Task> with kind regards Ruben Willems
