JetBrains TeamCity Blog

Hello all,

This is a post for those of you who’s currently trying (and failing) to buy something from JetBrains, or to submit a bug into our issue tracker, or contribute to one of our community resources.

Today the extreme heat in Europe finally took a toll on us in the form of blackout that temporarily took down a part of our online assets.

While the majority of resources at jetbrains.com is available, our e-shop section is down (which is why you aren’t currently able to order any of our products), as are our bug tracker, wiki, and forums.

We’re regularly getting updates on the recovery progress, and the current (quite rough) recovery time estimate is today evening, 19:00 CET.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and we’re really hoping for a quick recovery.

Update! Seems like it’s all over, and on schedule! Power supply is resumed, meaning that YouTrack, Confluence, and JetBrains e-shops are now back online, and our support service is working well!

Here’s a quick note to let you know that TeamCity’s issue tracker of choice, previously code-named Charisma, has gone beta under a new name: YouTrack.

You can read more about YouTrack features in its own section at the JetBrains web site, watch demos, and download the beta version.

You’re also welcome to subscribe to YouTrack blog to get latest updates on the development process.

Please report bugs and request new features at YouTrack’s own instance.

YouTrack 1.0 public release is scheduled by the end of 2009.

Build and track with pleasure!
