TeamCity 8.0.6 BugFix Update

Here is a new update for the stable TeamCity versions: 8.0.6 is ready for download with the latest fixes included.

Most notably, full support for Visual Studio 2013 and ReSharper 8.1 is now included out of the box. The version also contains several important performance improvements, so upgrade is recommended.

TeamCity 8.0.6 still uses the same database format as other 8.0.x versions, so you can upgrade/downgrade between the versions.

This might be the last update for 8.0.x versions as we plan to release 8.1 in February. It might be a good time to prepare for the upgrade to 8.1 and try 8.1 EAP to see how it works in your environment.

TeamCity 8.1 EAP Build #29687: Better Templated Configurations Customizations and More

Here is a fresh update from the current TeamCity development for the version 8.1. It includes further enhancements in the first build creation experience and allows to override most of the options coming from the build configuration template in place. hose like build number format or failure conditions.

Check the release notes for complete overview of the new features.

If you plan to upgrade to 8.1 when it becomes available, consider getting this EAP build to evaluate the features and let us know your feedback so that we can still incorporate it into the release.

The forum and the issue tracker are at your disposal!

TeamCity 8.1 EAP Build #29581: Easier Setup, Investigations in REST API, VS 2013 and More

Here is a new build with the current state of our movement towards 8.1 release.

We continue to improve TeamCity configuration, now with ability to create a VCS root based on single URL and revamping Build Configuration administration UI sections. While can seem unusual at first, these changes should serve for better unification and clarity.

Those of you who use TeamCity REST API might find useful the recent additions on reading assigned investigations and listing build queue as well as build triggering.

Keeping up to date with the tools releases we make TeamCity compatible with Visual Studio 2013 and add support for agent-side Subversion 1.8 checkouts.

See more details in the release notes.

Our current plans for the final 8.1 release were adjusted a bit and we now target February, 2014 for the release. With your feedback on the recent additions we will be able to deliver a great release for the time.

Go grab the build and let us know what you think in the forum and issue tracker!

TeamCity 8.0.5 BugFix Update

The new build for the stable 8.0.x branch is available for download.

It includes fixes for the found critical issues and features support for recent updates: NUnit 2.6.3, MSBuild and Visual Studio project runners for VS 2013.

Please note that TeamCity Add-in and .NET inspections/duplicates are note yet updated with VS 2013 support. Please vote/watch corresponding issues which are likely to get updates in the following weeks.

This version still uses the same database format as all the rest of TeamCity 8.0.x, so you can downgrade if something goes wrong after the upgrade.

Happy building!

TeamCity 8.1 EAP Build #29353: Pre-Tested Commit for Git/Hg, Easier Configuration and More

With this build we open Early Access Program for TeamCity 8.1. The release is planned within months and it will have fixes and improvements throughout the system.

In the upcoming release we aim for simplifying initial configuration and settings change. This EAP build already has administration UI changes: split into simple and advanced settings and "guessing" logic on creating a new build step with "Auto-discover" action. We are eagerly awaiting for any feedback on those as we continue to add improvements in the area.

Another important addition is pre-tested commit functionality for Git and Mercurial, akin one we have for Subversion/Perforce. However, it does not require IDE integration and is naturally based on branches. Check "Automatic Merge" Build Feature for the configuration.

Check other additions in the release notes and grab the build at the EAP download page.
While the build works fine for us, most probably it is not yet ready for your production servers, so you might try it just locally or on a test server.

TeamCity 8.0.4 BugFix Update

TeamCity 8.0.4 (build 27616)  is released which contains lots of fixes on top of previous 8.0.x release. These include performance improvements and several important fixes affecting many installations. Update is highly recommended.

This version uses the same data format as all the other 8.0.x releases, so you can downgrade within these versions. Get the fresh release at the download page.

Our development effort is already focused on the forthcoming 8.1 release (due in several months). There will probably be more 8.0.x updates, but those will only include critical fixes and will be released when/if the issues are discovered.

P.S. I've just returned form JavaOne event in San Francisco where we have enjoyed many conversations with current and future TeamCity users. Thank you for stopping by JetBrains booth and appreciation of our tools!

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.
