After some scrambling earlier in the week to get 1.345 out the door, correcting some regressions in 1.344, the Hudson team still rolled out a 1.346 release last Friday, February 12th, 2010. Similar to the past couple releases, 1.346 had a good number of bug fixes, including a a performance fix when dealing with larger build submissions and a substantial revision of the SCM...

A great community of developers and users is one of the many things that make Hudson a great tool and a fun project to work with, after launching Continuous Blog as an extensions of that community earlier this week there are some thanks in order to those that helped spread the word about CB and in turn, Hudson. Thanks to: Everybody on Twitter who retweeted...

Since this is the first "This Week in Plugins" (TWiP), I’m trying a fairly basic format out. I’m debating how much information I want to include in these, while I would like to include details on "what’s changed" for each plugin over the course of the week, the means of fetching that information would be incredibly tedious (read: no fun) since there’s not particularly...

Code and resources are often kept in version control, but it can be easy to forget your continuous integration (CI) server itself! If a disk were to die or fall victim to a misplaced rm...

A lot has changed in the Hudson development and distribution infrastructure since last summer - we’ve made a distinct effort to get the quality of our infrastructure to match the quality of Hudson itself. We owe a special thanks to the wonderful folks over at Atlassian - we’re taking advantage of their generous open source license for our bug tracking (JIRA), wiki (Confluence), and...

As I mentioned in the footer of the post on the Hudson 1.344 release, there were a couple big regressions in the 1.344 release that were causing a number of users issues (such as issue 5536 and issue 5546). As a result, Kohsuke and the team have quickly pushed out a hot-fix release: 1.345. Here’s the break down: Bugs fixed: Update center retrieval, "build now" link, and...

As Kohsuke mentioned on the dev@ mailing list on January 29th, another series of community translations of Hudson have been committed (r26764) and have been released with the Hudson 1.344 release. The locales included in this update are: Czech Spanish Finnish French Hungarian Japanese Korean Lithuanian Norwegian Dutch Polish Brazilian Portuguese Russian Slovenian Swedish Chinese (Simplified/Traditional) If you’re fluent in any of the locales above, check out the latest release of Hudson to verify that the translations are correct, if there’s translations that you feel are...
