A couple weeks ago in the post outlining the release of Hudson 1.347 I mentioned that Alan Harder (a.k.a. mindless) had undertaken a deprecation-crusade; that is to say Alan has taken it upon himself to rid Hudson’s code-base, particularly in the plugin area, of older code. One of Alan’s branches old-data-monitor was merged into trunk with r28147 bringing with it some changes to help...
Michael Donohue, a Hudson developer who has taken on the role of master bug triage guy for Hudson, does something regularly which I’ve really come to appreciate as a Hudson developer myself: he sends out emails to the dev list with the top 10 voted issues at that time. This gives those of us in the Hudson development community a good sense of what’s...

For this edition of TWiP I was actually able to generate the log of releases mostly automatically thanks to rpetti who contributed the script to the contiuous-blog-tools repository on GitHub. This past week saw two new plugins, the SSH plugin and the Global Build Stats plugin,...
Via the @hudsonci twitter account I typically share or "retweet" a number of links during the day, I realize a number of people either do not use Twitter or do not constantly pay attention to it. A lot of the links I find quite interesting, so I’d like to try sharing them after the fact here. Java.net Maven Repository Rescue Mission on March 5th Fighting Problems...
For this week’s user spotlight segment, I’m talking with Doug MacEachern of Hyperic, part of SpringSource, a division of VMware, hoping I got that dependency chain correct.
