JetBrains TeamCity Blog

Following a good tradition, this year we are going to attend JavaOne Conference. This year it is held on June 2-5 at the Moscone Center, San Francisco, CA.

We will be glad to welcome you to the JetBrains booth. Do not miss your chance to meet those who develop TeamCity and other JetBrains products. We promise live demos, answering all your questions, and much more.

Hurry up. Only 8 days left.

Our in-house issue tracker code-named Charisma that we have blogged about before is from now on publicly available!

The very first Charisma Early Access Program has started — you can now download the tracker and try it out on your own server (see installation instructions for details).

Of course, the version that you use to report TeamCity issues has also been updated, and seems to be cleaner than before. By the way, have you read useful tips and watched Charisma demos on its Welcome page (under the ‘Hints’ tab)?

While the EAP is a big step forward, we still have a long way to go towards beta, and we encourage you to report any bugs that you may encounter, or make feature requests — you can do both here.

Start investigating the new JetBrains product in your own environment, and help us make it better every day!

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.

The latest TeamCity 4.1 EAP build brings you support of continuous integration builds on Windows and Unix-based platforms under Mono framework.

TeamCity automatically detects presence of Mono frameworks installed and sets system properties which you can use when specifying the build settings and build agent requirements.

To instruct your build configuration use Mono framework, navigate to the Build Runner step when setting up or editing your build configuration and select:

• mono as a Target framework for NAnt,
• Mono xbuild as an MSBuild version for MSBuild,

Try Mono support by yourself downloading and installing the latest build and get further information in TeamCity online reference.

TeamCity has always provided a number of places and ways for monitoring changes which the team made:

• pop-up on the Projects page showing pending changes or those being built at the moment
• Recent history on the build configuration Overview page
• different types of notifications
• Change Log of the build configuration containing the records of all entries of changes which were committed.

In TeamCity 4.0 we made a number of improvements in the Change Log tab design helping to focus on what is the most important and letting you to:

• specify the range of changes you want to view by providing the range of builds
• show the builds where developers’ changes got into
• view changes which were made by a particular developer - the feature is available since TeamCity 4.1 EAP

Hope you will find these new Change Log features useful in your daily chores.

Before trying TeamCity 4.1 EAP we recommend you to backup your database as usual.
