TeamCity 8.0.3 BugFix Update

As more and more installations get upgraded to TeamCity 8.0.x, we get more bug reports, which we try to fix promptly. Here is the latest update with several important issues fixed, so upgrade is recommended. You can check the full list of fixed issues in the issue tracker.

As before, upgrade/downgrade within 8.0 - 8.0.3 is possible as the same data format is used.

TeamCity 8.0.2 BugFix Update

Here is an update for 8.0.x builds: 8.0.2, build 27482.
It contains lots of fixes and is compatible with the recently released ReSharper 8.0 (via TeamCity add-in for Microsoft Visual Studio).

Upgrade is highly recommended as there are several important fixes affecting server performance, functioning of several web UI pages, version controls integration and others.

The version uses the same data format, so transparent upgrade/downgrade is possible within all the 8.0.x builds.

So get the release now and make your servers happy :)

TeamCity 8.0.1 Bugfix Update

We are keeping finger on the pulse and listen for the feedback of those upgraded to 8.0. Hence there is a bugfix update with the fix for most important reported issues (nothing seems critical, though) and last-minute fixes which did not fit into 8.0 release.

Full fixed issue list is available in our tracker.

Get it on the download page and upgrade! The build uses the same data format as 8.0, so you can even switch back to 8.0 after the upgrade to 8.0.1 if necessary.

TeamCity 8.0 is Out: Nested Projects, Meta-Runner, and More

TeamCity 8.0 build 27402 is live and waiting for your servers.

We've done a lot in the release, mostly to ease large installations management but small teams will also find many useful improvements.
The full list can be found in the What's New and if you are feeling geeky, you can browse all the 1000+ issues fixed directly in the issue tracker.

Upgrade!

Make sure to review the upgrade notes before the upgrade as there are changes which might affect your server if you are doing tricky things like configurations generation or extensive REST API usage.

Thank you all who tried EAP releases and reported issues and feedback to us: without your help the release would have been less cool.

TeamCity 8.0 RC Build #27390: Almost There

We plan TeamCity 8.0 release for for this (or at most the next) week and here is the last chance to try pre-release version on your server and let us know if it plays nicely in your environment.
The build is of release candidate quality so give it a try today!

Here is a list of fixed issues and one of them is pretty interesting: TW-16735 Allow to use more than 20 build configurations for less than full TeamCity Enterprise price.

And that one is actually implemented in 8.0!
Weighting several options we decided to go with the one to make each build agent license also add 10 build configurations in addition to one agent. This obviously applies only to Professional edition. All the agent licenses valid with TeamCity 8.0 will add 10 build configurations each once you upgrade.

Hope you will find this useful as well as other 8.0 features.

TeamCity 8.0 EAP Build #27147: More Nested Projects, Meta Runner and More

We target TeamCity 8.0 release for June, so we are approaching features finalization and polishing stage. This EAP build can give you a good overview of the major features coming in version 8.

These include:
- nested projects for presentation and settings propagation;
- human-friendly "external" ids for all the settings entities: projects, build configurations and VCS roots;
- meta-runner for reusing sets of build steps with custom UI (see example);
- health report for identifying configuration and other issues;
- DVCS-related improvements like support for reporting changes from Mercurial subrepos and filters for branches in triggers

This is not to mention significant improvements in cleanup procedure and tons of other fixes.

You can get details on the latest changes in the build's release notes and get the build to try on a test server.

If you are interested in any of the mentioned features, it's high time to try EAP and give us your feedback, so that we still have some time incorporating it into the final 8.0 version. BTW, if your thread in the forum does not get due attention from us, feel free to post a link to the comments of this post so that we get additional notificaiton.

TeamCity 7.1.5 Bugfix Update

An update for the stable TeamCity version is published to make your servers benefit from the latest fixes. It has a nice build number: 24400! Want to see that in the footer of your server?

There are around 80 fixes in this release spread across the product. If you use feature branches and reference branch name in the script, this build brings you an improvement related to the default branch naming, see details. Other noticeable improvements touch TFS integration and AssemblyInfo files patching functionality.

This release uses the same data format as other 7.1.x releases so you still can downgrade to those if something goes wrong.

Download, upgrade, go!
