TeamCity 7.0.3 Bugfix: Fixes and Performance Improvements

Here is a new update for the stable TeamCity version 7.0, build 21424 awaiting for your downloads.

It has some recently discovered bugs fixed and includes several performance improvements, mostly related to processing of large build chains. See the full fixed issues list.

The server still uses the same data structure format, so you can downgrade to any of  7.0.x, if necessary.

While you download the distribution, can you think of your "dream feature" for TeamCity?
If you have one, you are welcome to share: our forum and particularly the dedicated thread should be a good place for discussion and you can post a link or a quick suggestion right here.

TeamCity 7.1 EAP Opened: Problems Summary on Overview, VCS Browsing During Configuration and More

Today we open Early Access Program for upcoming TeamCity 7.1.
Current plans for 7.1 release are mid-summer.

Apart from usual (and many) fixes and improvements we plan to do more in the areas of Investigations, Build Problems and Feature Branches for distributed version controls. This EAP release shows our progress so far.

Check the release notes or the entire fixed issues list.
We run the version on our internal server so it should be stable at least in some environments. However, please do not upgrade your production server with the version since no downgrade is possible from it to 7.0.x versions.

This being said we would appreciate any feedback on the introduced features or improvements as it can help us detect issues early and improve the upcoming release based on your comments.

And yes, the EAP download page is the usual one.

TeamCity 7.0.2 Bugfix, Xcode Runner Plugin Preview

Last week we have released a new bugfix update: 7.0.2 build 21349 mostly to address recently uncovered issues occurring in some installations. Upgrade is recommended for all users. This release still uses the same data structure as 7.0 and 7.0.1, so downgrade to the versions is possible, if necessary.

An unrelated, but noteworthy is also an initial version of Xcode runner that we have recently published.
It is meant to help build Mac OS X and iOS projects in TeamCity.

It's been a while since several third-party plugins were available for the purpose ([1], [2]). We greatly appreciate the effort of the authors and thank them for helping TeamCity users with Xcode builds.

Now we want to make Xcode builds first-class citizens in TeamCity and bundle the functionality into TeamCity distribution with one of our next releases. If you use Xcode for your development it would be great if you try the plugin and let us know how it suits your needs, what should be added, etc.

TeamCity 7.0.1: Bugfix Update

Please welcome build 21326, an update for 7.0 with some recently uncovered issues fixed.

Thank you all who spent time reporting issues to us! 

Grab the distribution and upgrade your server: update is recommended (though, not mandatory) for all installations running 7.0.

This update does not modify database or data directory structure, so downgrade to 7.0 is possible.

Since release of 7.0 we branched, started developing new features for 7.1, arranged team meat up with some discussions

Our open space discussion schedule

and are now further developing TeamCity 7.1 which is scheduled for around June.

Already upgraded? Let us know what you think.

TeamCity 7.0 is Released

You can grab this final 7.0 build (#21241) on the official download page.

Useful links when considering and planning upgrade:

What's new in 7.0
Test-drive newer TeamCity version
Upgrade procedure

Do not forget to create a backup (e.g. from TeamCity web UI) before upgrading as after upgrade you will not be able to downgrade TeamCity data to previous versions.

Please note that TeamCity server and agents need to be run under Java 1.6 in TeamCity 7.0. If you are running TeamCity 6.5.x and still run agents under not compatible Java, you will have a yellow note on Agents page of TeamCity UI. See details.


Our current (yet to be confirmed) plans are to continue improvement of 7.0-introduced features and release 7.1 in several months. Your feedback on the new features and stories on how they suit your use cases is highly appreciated.

And it's time for us to get a glass of champagne Maß of Bavarian beer.

TeamCity 7.0 EAP/RC build 21209: Almost There

This EAP build is so close to the release that we are naming it RC for 7.0.


You can look through the list of fixed issues or just grab the build.
We would appreciate if you can try it and report critical issues, if any.


BTW, our What's New section in the documentation is almost ready, so you can review all the new additions in 7.0.


A note: this build already does not include EAP license key, so you can use one from previous EAP or let us know if you need one.

TeamCity 7.0 EAP build 21163: Build Chain Graph on Project Level and Fixes

We are mostly fixing various issues now, preparing for 7.0 release.

The only feature addition is "Build Chains" tab for a project that displays an accumulated view for all build chains related to the project. If you use snapshot dependencies, give it a try and let us know how it works for you.

If you plan to upgrade to 7.0 soon please get this EAP and try it for your setup so that if you have any critical issues with it, we can still address them before final 7.0 build.
