This TeamCity release brings a range of improvements intended to make development teams more productive and efficient.

Here are some of the release highlights:

• LDAP integration with automatic user profiles synchronization
• User groups management engine allowing to fine-tune team members’ roles and access rights, set up groups hierarchy and notification rules
• CVS and Perforce plugin version 2008.2 support in Eclipse plugin
• Perforce support in Microsoft Visual Studio plugin
• Build Agent compatibility with Mono testing framework as a .NET platform for continuous builds
• Test results grouping letting you filter tests by suites, packages/namespaces, and classes
• Handling external tools reports in XML format (ANT’s JUnit tasks, NUnit, Surefire, PMD, and FindBugs)

After making an assessment of our last months’ work, we decided this release is worth to be named TeamCity 4.5, and here comes its first release candidate:

• redesigned Tests tab for build results: you can now group tests by suite, package or class, filter, and narrow the scope.
• LDAP integration improvements.
• external change browser (FishEye) support improvements.

And great news everyone! We launch EAP for a long-waited Git support plugin available as a separate download.

Read about the changes in the release notes and download the release candidate build.

As usual we urge you to backup your data before upgrading to a new version.

Wishing you develop with pleasure,

As you probably know, it’s been about a year now since TeamCity migrated from Jira to an in-house issue tracker, code-named Charisma.

Those of you who have ever posted any requests to our tracker have probably got used to its features and GUI. However, one year is a heck of long time, and of course Charisma did evolve since then. The time for change has come, and a week ago the brand new UI has been pushed to www.jetbrains.net/tracker, and now you can try it yourself. The old-timey UI (aka “workspace”) will be abandoned soon.
So head to your profile (”Settings” tab) in the tracker and select “Use New UI”. You will then be redirected to the new UI URL: www.jetbrains.net/tracker/issues.

You can still reach the old UI at www.jetbrains.net/tracker/oldWorkspace, but if you ever need it — let us know why. We are eagerly waiting for your feedback: we’d like to improve the new UI so that you feel comfortable using it, before we drop the old one for good.

Please, don’t hesitate to share your opinion, ideas and suggestions with us in TeamCity community. If you have found a bug, post the issue right into Charisma.

We wish you happy building with TeamCity and hope to hear from you soon!
