Last Friday the Hudson team rolled out a small 1.372 with two enhancements following the critical 1.371 release on Monday. Not a whole lot to say about this release other than go get it! Enhancements Persist matrix-based security settings in a consistent order (issue 7138) Jobs can now use boolean expression over labels to control where they run. You can go grab the latest .war file straight from...

The folks over at LMT Software just released their HudsonMobi 2.0 to the Android market. This release of HudsonMobi brings a lot of the features to Android that iPhone/iPad users of HudsonMobi have enjoyed for some time. Features unleashed to Android users in this revision of the app are: Full Android user-experience with Menu and back controls Embedded artifact viewer! For archived build artifacts that are text-based,...

Commits often come in a burst. This seems to happen mainly for two reasons — people sometimes forget to commit some files, and in the tranquility of waiting for your SCM to finish a commit, people sometimes realize the problems in the commit and they quickly make follow-up changes. The conventional wisdom is that the CI server should wait for the burst to finish before attempting...

Hot on the heels of Hudson 1.370, which was released last Friday, the Hudson team released 1.371 which addresses a critical vulnerability in all Hudson versions prior to 1.371. The vulnerability was disclosed by InfraDNA in the following security advisory, which details the issue: This critical vulnerability allows an attacker to use CLI commands that they are otherwise unauthorized for. CLI commands can perform various...

Regular readers will recognize that I’ve been slacking off quite a bit lately with my release announcements, my apologies. With the release of 1.368 on Sunday, which fixed a few fairly important bugs, I figured I’d dusty off my blogging fedora and give this a shot. This release has three bug fixes in it which were causing some issues for some users, particularly those deploying...

In my capacity as Build Guy at Digg, I’ve written up a blog post on our new continuous deployment/code review/pre-tested commit workflow. We’re using a combination of Hudson, Git and Gerrit, Selenium and more to make sure that every change going to Digg’s new site has been thoroughly tested. Read the whole post, with all the juicy details over on Digg’s Technology Blog!...

A few weeks ago, Kohsuke stopped by the San Francisco Selenium Meetup hosted by Sauce Labs to talk about all things Selenium and Hudson related (with a bit of Sauce in there too). The good folks over at Sauce Labs have gotten around to posting some of the videos taken with Kohsuke. Instead of embed the videos, I wanted to directly link to the post and...

So you’ve got your fancy Android cell phone and you’re thinking to yourself "besides feeling smugly superior to iPhone users, what can I do with this thing?" Perhaps you should be considering using it as a phone but if that’s too boring, check out the new and improved Hudson Mood widget for Android! The latest release brings support for multiple servers and fancier graphics. If...

The developer for the Hudson extension for Google Chrome, Sebastian Sanitz, emailed the users@ list today to inform the community of an update to his fantastic extension. Sebastian’s extension monitors ci.hudson-labs.org by default, but the URL and polling interval are both trivial to change. When any of the builds in the configured URL fail, you’ll see a red "Fail" indicator, otherwise green "Ok". If you’re interested...

Over the past year Hudson has grown tremendously, both within the Java community and outside of it. Partially thanks to (Titus Brown)'s PyCon 2010 Atlanta coverage of continuous integration for Python (which we’ve covered before), Hudson has made great strides within the Python community as well. In my experience, the majority of Python developers are not using Hudson to build anything, unless they have...
