TeamCity 5.0 is approaching inevitably and here we are with fresh EAP build.
All major new features have been introduced already in previous EAPs, but still you’ll find lots of improvements and fixes to check:

• Amazon EC2 support: build agents running on Amazon EC2 shut down automatically if idle for a chosen time; plus Amazon EC2 integration can be enabled/disabled now.
• Command line remote run tool: reading a list of changed files from stdin is supported.
• New system wide notifications.
• Improved TeamCity startup procedure.
• Build configuration templates: cross-project associations between templates and configurations are now available. Also, the “Move” operation for templates is added.
• Clean-up: clean-up rules can be specified for build configuration templates, plus the “Build History Clean-up” page has been reworked.
• Enhanced “My changes” page.
• and more…

For detailed list check the Release notes.

There is not much time left till the scheduled TeamCity 5.0 release and we’re forward looking to the final stage of development. The new EAP build contains some new features plus enhancements listed briefly below:

• Per-test responsibility. Now you can assign responsibility not only for the entire build crash, but for particular failed tests. Also, the new “Responsibilities” tab with currently taken responsibilities taken in a project is added to the project home page.
• New template-related actions: “Extract template” and “Create build configuration from template”. The first of these actions, “Extract template”, allows the user to create a new template from an existing build configuration. The second action allows creating new build configuration from an existing template. In both cases, build configuration is associated with a template automatically.
• Remote run for GIT in IntelliJ IDEA
• Support for <gant/> task in Ant build scripts
• Support for recognition of compilation errors output produced by <groovyc/> Ant task
• Git and Mercurial plugins are now bundled in TeamCity distribution
• and a bit more…
