Only a week ago we released TeamCity 5.0, but here we are again with news for those who use TeamCity 4.x and, for some reason or other, do not upgrade to the latest version.

We just released the TeamCity 4.5.6 with a couple of fixes and with a serious improvement: support for IntelliJ IDEA 9 (both Ultimate and Community editions) and RubyMine in the TeamCity’s plug-in for IDEA platform.

Check the complete Release notes and download the build. Please don’t forget to backup your data before upgrading.

By the way, now you can download any previous 4.x release build from here.

Build safe!

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…

Great news, everyone — we just released the next EAP build for TeamCity 5.0! What did we include in this build? One major brand new feature, some updates for already introduced features, and some enhancements — our traditional set for EAPs. Here’s the brief list of what you’ll find in this one:

• First of all, we introduce build configuration templates. The goal of this major feature is to get rid of duplicating the build configuration settings. Of course, you can copy build configuration that seems most suitable, and use it as a base for a new one. However, in case something changes, you will still need to make same modifications in all similar build configurations. Now all you have to do is create a template (template actually has the same settings as a regular build configuration) and then associate any number of build configurations with this template. Any change in the template will affect all of the build configurations associated with it.
• UI for Amazon EC2 settings: now you can edit Amazon cloud profiles from the web UI, without editing configuration files manually.
• Enhanced My Changes page: you can see not only builds running with your change but also new tests already failed in these builds.
• Dependency trigger on Maven artifact: this new kind of dependency trigger will start a build if a specified Maven artifact changes.
• Plus some more improvements including support for Oracle 11, widened set of details displayed for disconnected build agent, UI enhancements, etc.

For detailed list of changes, please refer to the complete Release notes for today’s TeamCity EAP.

Download the new EAP build, give it a try and use it, and send your feedback to us — we always wait for it at our issue tracker and online forum.
And last, but not the least: please don’t forget to back up your data before upgrade.

Seems just yesterday we’d opened Early Access Program for TeamCity 5.0, and we’re on air again, and with good news! Here is the new EAP release, which incorporates some delicious features and improvements that, we hope, will tempt you to try them in practice:

• Initial support for virtual agents based on Amazon EC2 service.
• Command line tool for Remote runs.
• Backup & Restore via web UI to simplify TeamCity maintenance.
• Simplified creation of Maven build configurations: just provide URL to your project pom file, and TeamCity will take care of the rest.

• All data shown on the Single change status page is now sorted by tabs: Tests, Builds and Files.
• In Audit log, you can now filter the list of registered activities by user. In addition, new activity types are available for browsing.
