TeamCity 7.0 is Released

You can grab this final 7.0 build (#21241) on the official download page.

Useful links when considering and planning upgrade:

What's new in 7.0
Test-drive newer TeamCity version
Upgrade procedure

Do not forget to create a backup (e.g. from TeamCity web UI) before upgrading as after upgrade you will not be able to downgrade TeamCity data to previous versions.

Please note that TeamCity server and agents need to be run under Java 1.6 in TeamCity 7.0. If you are running TeamCity 6.5.x and still run agents under not compatible Java, you will have a yellow note on Agents page of TeamCity UI. See details.


Our current (yet to be confirmed) plans are to continue improvement of 7.0-introduced features and release 7.1 in several months. Your feedback on the new features and stories on how they suit your use cases is highly appreciated.

And it's time for us to get a glass of champagne Maß of Bavarian beer.

TeamCity 7.0 EAP/RC build 21209: Almost There

This EAP build is so close to the release that we are naming it RC for 7.0.


You can look through the list of fixed issues or just grab the build.
We would appreciate if you can try it and report critical issues, if any.


BTW, our What's New section in the documentation is almost ready, so you can review all the new additions in 7.0.


A note: this build already does not include EAP license key, so you can use one from previous EAP or let us know if you need one.

TeamCity 7.0 EAP build 21163: Build Chain Graph on Project Level and Fixes

We are mostly fixing various issues now, preparing for 7.0 release.

The only feature addition is "Build Chains" tab for a project that displays an accumulated view for all build chains related to the project. If you use snapshot dependencies, give it a try and let us know how it works for you.

If you plan to upgrade to 7.0 soon please get this EAP and try it for your setup so that if you have any critical issues with it, we can still address them before final 7.0 build.

TeamCity 7.0 EAP build 21124: Subversion 1.7 Support Enabled, Fixes

As 7.0 release is only weeks away according to our plans, we will try to publish builds more often in a hope that more people will try them in order to check latest fixes.

Release notes are really small and the fixed issues list is also not long.

We have been experimenting with Subversion 1.7 working copy support for agent-side checkout and this build has the support bundled for you to try.

The build is on the usual EAP page.
Just do not forget to let us know if you find any issues with it.

TeamCity 7.0 EAP build 21075: Enhanced Dependencies Graph and Remote Settings Editing

As we are targeting TeamCity 7.0 release in about a month, this is the last EAP build with new features. We will focus on bug fixes and minor improvements to existing functionality until the release.

That is why it is important for us to get your feedback on this TeamCity build to be able to fix possible issues before the release.

This build further improves build dependencies visualization. To summarize, you get "Dependencies" tab for a build (listing all the build chains that include the build) and also for a build configuration (listing all the chains that include the builds of the build configuration). You can also "continue" a chain from the current state.
"Build chain" are all the builds interlinked with snapshot dependencies. This is a TeamCity notion that embraces build "pipeline".  If you feel the need to get "pipelines" in TeamCity, this is the feature to try and give us your feedback.

Another long-awaited feature is to allow remote build configuration creation/modification. The functionality is now part of REST API. With it you can create new empty build configurations or copy existing ones as well as change individual settings like add a new build step / trigger / agent requirement. If you plan to use the feature you are highly welcome to try it and let us know how well it fulfills your needs. REST API is still scarcely documented, but you can get supported requests description via http://<your server>/app/rest/application.wadl request, which also has links to .xsd of the used entities.

Now it's time to browse through the release notes or full list of fixed issues, download and try it as a test installation.

You are welcome to share your feedback in the forum or by other means.

TeamCity 7.0 EAP build 20939: Restructured Admin Space, Changes Across Dependencies and More

With a bit of delay, here is an announcement of the recent TeamCity EAP build that the team published while I was spending last week of the year on a skiing holiday.

There are lots of new features both related to UI and logic. Please browse through the release notes to find those of interest to you. To get the details you are welcome to look through the fixed issues list.

We would appreciate if you try some of the features on a test installation of your server and let us know how well the features address your case and your opinion on UI changes.

If you use snapshot dependencies (which you really should for interdependent builds), try "Show changes from snapshot dependencies" option for the build configurations with dependencies.

If you have builds that need specifying additional parameters on every build run, typed parameters feature is to explore.

If you prefer to see TeamCity user names instead of VCS ones for the changes: the feature is already in.

I am sure you will find something new for you to explore in the build.

Our current plans are to polish features added in the recent EAP builds and prepare for the release of 7.0 which is planned for February. As we are approaching the release, your feedback on the features would be highly valuable at this time!

TeamCity 6.5.6: BugFix Update

We've updated our official download page with build 18130 which is stable TeamCity 6.5.6 release.

The version contains fixes related to IDEA and Visual Studio plugins, performance, Mercurial support improvements and more.

The same internal data storage format is used, so downgrade to any 6.5.x is possible.

BTW, we've got an IPhone app for TeamCity by one of our users. It displays last build statuses for selected projects. iOS 5 is required. You might find it useful if you often check how green is your project.
