Buildix

I’m very happy to announce that Buildix 2.1 is now available. Headline features for this release are:

• Mingle 2.0 integration using the excellent new Mingle API
• SSL support by default
• Authentication
• Export Project feature
• Now based on Ubuntu 7.10

There has also been a big cleanup of the code, and all integration is broken out into modules. TracCC support is now back in, and I’ve also added the Trac post commit hook to Subversion.

Initially only the packages are available. The VMWare and LiveCD images will come next, and then the EC2 AMIs.

If you’re upgrading from 2.0 to 2.1, please read the Upgrade Notes first.

Earlier this week Mingle 2.0 was released by the Studios team. Since then I’ve had a constant stream of people asking me when they can expect to see it as part of Buildix. The happy news is that I’ve been working with the Mingle development team trying out the new API. Due to client commitments I’ve not been able to finish the integration in time for the release, but it is in the works and I’m hoping it will be done soon.

For a while now Buildix has been using a pre-release package of CruiseControl 2.7.2, primarily to use some new dashboard features. There has now been an official release of 2.7.2, and our package is now in line with the official release. You can see the release notes here.
