While we are working on 5.1 release, some of the fixes seem important enough to be integrated into our 5.0.x branch. The number of fixes seems enough to release an update and we gladly do it today.
The update is recommended but is not mandatory, if you do not experience any issues with your TeamCity setup, you can skip the update.
Thank you all who reported issues and let us investigate and fix them.
Download the new verison and ... happy building!

One more popular version control system support: SourceGear Vault
Good news coming for SourceGear Vault users!
Did you hear about Eric Sink's impressive advertising campaign for Vault? Yeah, he's the one who invented the daring slogan "SourceSafe Must Die" (in advantage to Vault of course). Vault even contains a Handoff feature which makes it easier than ever to make the transition from Visual SourceSafe. They also show Vault advantages over Subversion.
So we decided to take a closer look at this version control tool and it's APIs. First offhand approach was to parse command line client output. Xml-based, well-stuctured, but still
insufficient (e.g. no simple way to determine whether object type is file or folder). Thus it was necessary to dig into the Java API (fortunately Vault provides the last and some .NET documentation appropriate for Java API as well).
For TeamCity specific purposes (collecting changes and patch building) we are using history and source retrieval API methods, which conduct developer through certain tricky cases (the delete operation is some kind of destructive and wipes out from history such principal operations as renaming).
Fortunately any of them had a workaround and TeamCity server does show all history operations and provides users with all possible information on transactions in the Change Log!
Here is the result - Vault support plugin early access program designed to work with TeamCity 5.0 and newer is open.
As always, any feedback will be highly appreciated.
Develop with pleasure!
