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!

TeamCity 8.0 EAP Build #26984: Nested Projects, Server Health and Disk Usage Reports, Subrepos for Mercurial and More
A new snapshot of the current TeamCity trunk/8.0 state is published as EAP build for you to try.
The major addition is ability to nest projects one under another. The structure is then reflected in UI and in settings propagation. The work is still in progress and there are quite a few items to polish, but the general idea is in place already, so comments are welcome!
This builds also brings live several reports for administrators:
Server Health which is aimed at listing potential issues with the settings/functioning and should help both experienced and novice server/project administrators to improve the configuration.
The second report is Disk Usage which allows to sort projects and build configurations by the size that their artifacts and build logs occupy on disk. This should help to tune cleanup rules and forsee disk space issues.
Other additions are ability to assign investigation and mute build problems (non-test-related build failures), option to display changes for Mercurial subrepos, ability to list build artifacts via REST API and more.
See the release notes, try the build and let us know what you think about the new features!
