This week’s release comes slightly later than usual and is mostly a clean-up of a few bugs. Due to a problem with the Kohsuke’s GitHub mirror of Hudson’s core, I can’t mine the commits for interesting information as per usual so you’ll just have to trust that Hudson 1.353 is chock full of good, wholesome bug fixes. If the problem persists next week, I’ll...

After an exciting week that saw the rushed release of Hudson 1.351 on Monday following a fairly serious regression, Hudson 1.352 was released mid-Friday with a good mix bug fixes and enhancements. Bundled with this release was another localizations drop including translations for ca, es, fi, fr, hi_IN, it, nl, ru, and sv_SE locales. In addition to the nice fancy new community contributed translations,...

Finishing off the second week in March, the Hudson team rolled Hudson 1.350 off the assembly line last Friday, bringing a slew of fixes. Of particular interest to users of Hudson’s various native packages for Red Hat, openSuSE, Ubuntu/Debian and Solaris, was a change that suppress the "self-upgrade" functionality in the "Manage Hudson" page. On the enhancements side of the fence, the team added...

Rush delivery from Hudson HQ! Hudson 1.351 just rolled out with a very important regression fix: Regression in 1.350 that can delete old build artifacts. (mailing list thread, issue 5937) Sorry for the hiccup everybody, we’re working pretty hard on getting a better, more stable, release process in place. You can go grab the latest .war file straight from hudson-ci.org or if you’re using a native package,...

Last Friday, March 5th, Hudson 1.349 was pushed out into the wild with an even split of bug fixes and enhancements. Included in this release is Alan Harder’s (a.k.a mindless) old data monitor code, discussed previously in the post "https://jenkins.io/content/call-testers-older-better[Call for Testers: The older the better]." Included in this release were further updates to the japanese and german localizations of Hudson; if you’re interested...

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...

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...

Improved /etc/shadow permission checks. Disable auto-refresh in Groovy script console (issue 5729) Contributors This release of Hudson...

The release of Hudson 1.347 last friday, February 19th, was a relatively "minor" one insofar that it contained an assortment of smaller fixes instead of fixes to major regressions (they weren’t any to be fixed) or major features added. There were however some notable commits in this release cycle that didn’t make the changelog just yet, for example https://twitter.com/godin[godin] committed an ebuild which will...

From time to time, we get a report of out of memory problems in Hudson. It’s frequent enough that we have a dedicated Wiki page that talks about how to obtain information to help devs work on the problem. So the latest thread from David Woon was assumed to be one of those ordinary trouble-shooting sessions, but thanks to Gustaf Lundh, it turned out to...
