Hi Stefan,

alright. I just put this issue on our long list of possible improvements (*). 
But since this doesn't hurt much at the moment it got a low priority and is not 
worth spending working time.

Franz


(*) This list is evolving rapidly and currently manifests itself in a sheet of 
paper. I'm going to use this list to formulate our status quo in order to work 
out a strategic roadmap. When the time has come I'd be exited to share and 
discuss this roadmap with all of you Saros developers.

Hi Franz,

I'm not sure whether your phrases "great improvement" and "very good 
job" are to be taken ironically ...

This was not ironically, this is one of the greatest changes, you can no 
longer ship in code that will not compile or where
JUNIT test will fail.

Yes you are right, this is fine grained stuff, but Jenkins supports a 
tracking mechanism. E.g just look at the STF Tests,
you can choose any "build" (regression) and will it redirect you to the 
change log of the artifacts that were involved in that "build".
Currently the Whiteboard and Nebula does not get many updates, so it 
would not matter.

All information is still present, but it is now a little bit harder to 
figure out, why something might have failed. Thats all.

Regards,
Stefan
