TeamCity 5.1 RC: #13300

The EAP build we are publishing today has a Release Candidate status: we are now focused on most critical fixes and checking the general state of the build.

So help us discover any critical issues in the build (BTW, what a fancy number: #13300 :).

There are almost no changes as we are focused on the bugfixing.

As usual do not forget to backup your existing data before upgrade!

Update: At some point we bundled Swabra plugin, but then decided this is a bit too early and being it a separate plugin would let us brush it up more effectively. Anyway, everyone is encouraged to try it and let us know how useful it is for you.

One more EAP build before 5.1: #13245

Here is the latest snapshot of the current TeamCity state: build #13245.


One of the major improvements introduced in the build is new UI for editing build configuration triggers. We migrated from tab-based triggers UI to list with add/edit/remove operations as this is necessary for further extending triggers capabilities and configuration.

See the other changes in the release notes or browse through the list of fixed issues in our tracker.

Please try the build and let us know if anything goes wrong - 5.1 is within weeks, so we need your help to discover any hidden issues.

And just in case, do not forget to backup your existing data before upgrade!

Prepare for April the 1st - try TeamCity Fools Day Plugin

Fools Day is close so if you would like to joke on your colleagues try TeamCity Fools Day plugin.
Please install it only if your organization can afford little disruption from the work as the plugin is a bit intrusive. Also, feel free to look into the code and tweak it.

The page has the version from the last year but it still works OK with TeamCity 5.0.3 (what a stable API :)

We might add something fresh to the plugin if we have time these days (our colleagues got a bit tired of the screen shooting last year), so watch for the plugin page updates.

TeamCity 5.1 EAP build #13215 is available

We are coming closer to 5.1 release (will hopefully happen in about month) and here is a new EAP build for you to try and let us know your feedback.

Some of the improvements that many existing TeamCity users will probably be interested in:

• Ability to hide and reorder build configurations on the Overview page. After some discussions this is made a per-user setting that affects only the Overview (as an exception, the changed order is also used on My Changes page). If you try the feature, please let us know how well this suits your needs;
• support for putting external database drive jars under .BuildServer/lib/jdbc directory. If you upgraded TeamCity in the past you probably know that the driver jars need to be added again after upgrade. So the feature is aimed to reduce necessity to patch existing TeamCity installation after upgrade;
• HTML email notifications (and with the recent addition of advanced notification templates customization you can further extend the messages) ;
• support for image files in the web file diff view: two images will be displayed side by side;
• ability to add a comment for a build right on the build triggering - in the custom run build dialog;
• and more.

The build is waiting for your download requests.

Do not forget to backup your existing data before upgrade.

TeamCity 5.0.3 Bugfix Update

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!

TeamCity 5.1 EAP is Open

Today we are opening EAP for TeamCity 5.1 - the next minor version which we plan to release in about a month.

This EAP adds many new features and improvements as well as bug fixes.
What you can do with this EAP:

• collapse Projects on the Overview page;
• track failing tests across the whole project in a single place: Current Problems tab;
• see build start/finish times in Web UI in your timezone (turn this on via a setting on user profile);
• pack build artifacts into archive via a UI-configured setting;
• enable code coverage gathering for the Maven runner with several clicks;
• build your .NET 4.0 projects and use Visual Studio 2010 (RC);
• tweak Email/Jabber/IDE/Windows Tray notification messages using powerful template engine (Freemarker).

For more details please review Release Notes or fixed tracker issues

Interested? Go download one to try. As usual, the build comes bundled with EAP license key valid for 60 days so if you are not yet on 5.0 or your 5.0 evaluation expired you can try TeamCity for free as a kind of extended evaluation valid while EAP lasts.

Do not forget to backup your existing data before upgrade. If you are on 5.0, you can do this form the web UI.

As usual, we are awaiting for your feedback.

5.0.2 (bugfix update) is Available

Here we are with a new bugfix update for TeamCity 5.0: version 5.0.2 is ready to download.

It contains fixes that improve different TeamCity integrations including Subversion, Perforce, Git, EC2, Visual Studio plugin, MS SQL Server and Maven.

As usual, do not forget to create a backup before upgrading (and with 5.0.x you can do this from the admin web UI).

We are now moving for TeamCity 5.1 with a plan to release it in several months.
