TeamCity 7.1.2 BugFix Update: Performance Improvements and Fixes
In TeamCity 7.1.x branch we've fixed quite a lot of issues since 7.1.1, so here is a new version for your servers: 7.1.2.
The release has some performance improvements for loaded servers and many fixes all over.
7.1.2 is still data format-compatible with 7.1 and 7.1.1, so upgrade is recommended and you still will have a chance to revert to previous 7.1.x version if something plays wrong in this 7.1.2 update.
In the mean time, team's main efforts are switched to the trunk codebase and we are working on the new features to be released in TeamCity 8.0. This one is codenamed Gaya and we are planning the release for the mid-sping. We do not have a public road map, but the features will be gradually emerging in our EAP releases. The first version 8 EAP build is likely to be published in December.
Some time ago we have summarized the results of our internal plugins weeks and there are several interesting contributions which can be tried on the existing servers. We are preparing a summary for these plugins and it is to be published soon.

TeamCity 7.1.1 BugFix Update: Improvements and Fixes
A new update for the TeamCity 7.1 with more then 150 fixes and improvements worth of one month team work is waiting for your downloads.
This 7.1.1 release comes with several performance and other improvements throughout the system as well as bug fixes. For the full list see issues in our issue tracker.
The release uses the same data format as TeamCity 7.1, so you can upgrade without data conversions and you can downgrade to 7.1 from 7.1.1 if necessary.
We will gradually switch our efforts to out trunk codebase and the next major TeamCity release but continue to fix issues in 7.1.x branch if they are uncovered.
For the two next weeks the TeamCity team will be experimenting with new ideas in the scope of an internal "ideas contest". I hope to share the most prominent results after that. Stay tuned!

Please note that this build does not have EAP license key bundled already. You can get evaluation key on the official download page.

TeamCity 7.0.4 BugFix Update: Performance and Fixes
While we are approaching 7.1 release, we still integrate critical bug fixes into 7.0.x branch and here is the latest update for your production servers: 7.0.4 build #21474.
Included are various performance improvements which can affect large TeamCity installations, fixes in Subversion integration and more. See the full list.
There are no data structure changes comparing to 7.0.3, so downgrade to other 7.0.x releases is possible.
Anyway, it's a good time to create backup for your server. The one from Administration > Backup with "Basic" setting is usually enough.
If you want to prepare for upgrade to TeamCity 7.1, consider checking out our last EAP build and let us know how new features work for you.

TeamCity EAP build #23732: Feature Branches and More
With this new EAP build we are introducing dedicated support for feature branches development practice. The only supported version controls are Git and Mercurial. Support for others might be added too, but not in TeamCity 7.1.
VCS roots has got a new "Branches" field where you can specify patterns for the branches to monitor. The changes are then processed as usual. They are displayed as pending and VCS trigger will trigger builds for them. The builds triggered for non-default branch will display the branch name. You will be able to filter builds by branches in UI. At the same time, some of the features like notifications and build status work only for the default branch.
If you use Git or Mercurial and use feature branches we would appreciate if you can install a test server and see how this functionality plays for you. We are eagerly awaiting for your feedback for the feature.
For details and other improvements see release notes and full fixed issues list if interested.
Our plans were to release TeamCity 7.1 in about a month and we are reevaluating them now. Options are to confirm the plans or postpone the release until September.
