This minor bugfix release fixes a lot of critical issues, and has several important usability improvements. Take a look at the release notes. If you are using TeamCity 6.5 or 6.5.1 we strongly recommend to upgrade.

TeamCity takes yet another step towards complete perfection by releasing version 6.5 – it’s here, it’s available, it’s waiting for you to download and try it. So what’s in the box?

• Remote run on changes in DVCSs branches: New build trigger added that watches for commits into Git or Mercurial branches and adds personal build to the build queue when commit detected.
• Parameterized Version Control System roots: Parameter references can now be used in all text fields of a VCS root settings except, of course, password fields.
• Tests grouping: To help you identify common problems faster tests can now be grouped by package on the build results page, Current Problems page, My Changes and in many other places.
  
• Muting test failure: If some tests fail for a known reason and it is not possible to fix them right away, you can temporarily mute them. For example, if your test is failing intentionally, when required functionality is not yet written (TDD).
• Remote build agent installation: New experimental way to automatically install build agents on the machines in your network or in the cloud called “Agent Push”.
• JetBrains dotCover 1.1 integration: TeamCity VS-addin can download dotCover test coverage snapshots from the TeamCity server and open them right in the dotCover installed in your Visual Studio locally.
• .NET: A number of new feature is available for .NET deveopers, such as:
  • AssemplyInfo Patcher build feature that allows to set a build number to an assembly automatically, without having to patch AssemblyInfo.cs files manually.
  • PowerShell: dedicated build runner for PowerShell scripts.
  • MSpec: built-in MSpec runner designed specifically to run MSpec tests.
  • .NET process runner able to run any .NET assembly under selected .NET Framework version and platform, optionally with .NET code coverage.
• and much more.

But that’s not the end of the story. We have some trully great news for small and medium-size teams that use TeamCity Professional Edition (which is free, as you know). Starting with this release we have removed all restrictions except one: the maximum number of build configurations. This gives TeamCity Professional Edition users following advantages:

• Unlimited number of users.
• Ability to use any authentication scheme.
• Adjustable per-project permissions.

Happy building!

Meet fresh bug-fix update for TeamCity – TeamCity 6.0.3. Here are some noteworthy fixes:

• TW-15296: “Cleanup after some archived-build deletions takes 6.5hr”.
• TW-15335: “Xml report plugin eats too much CPU”.

Plus, now TeamCity recognizes and displays on the Tests tab FlexUnit tests ran by flexmojos-maven-plugin.

2010 was a huge success for JetBrains but it is already clear 2011 is going to be another year to remember.
On the 17th of January, as part of our growth, we opened a new office in Munich, Germany.

Why Germany?

The beer of course! Now, although the beer had a great role in the decision, one of the main reasons was that we want to be closer to our European community. Europe makes up a big part of our customer base with Germany being the biggest one in Europe, and Munich is quite the center of EU. Being here full-time we’ll be able to participate more in local events and organize our own too.

Come and Celebrate it with us at the JetBrains Open House

We are eager to get under way, so let there be no delay. We want to celebrate the opening of our new office and invite you to join us at a small “open house” gathering. We’ll tell you more about us, how we work, why we care so much about our work.

You’ll meet the teams behind the tools you use daily. We’ll share some news, probably T-shirts, and we’ll have some drinks and food of course.
Tele-conference with RubyMine team in St.Petersburg.

The “open house” will take place on Friday, 18th of February, 16:30 – 20:30.

A large section of our office is still being made up, so our capacity is a bit limited at the moment. Therefore, we kindly ask you to RSVP and also tell us what JetBrains products excite you most, except TeamCity of course.
