Are you working on a project which uses java.net’s Maven repository for deploying its artifacts? Well, if so, there’s a great opportunity opening up for you to get off that problematic repository: Sonatype is helping java.net projects move to Sonatype’s hosted OSS Nexus repository, starting March 5th. We’re looking into moving Hudson over but for most smaller projects, this should be a no-brainer. Problems with...

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...

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...

We all know that keeping important files in version control is critical, as it ensures problematic changes can be reverted and can serve as a backup mechanism as well. 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...

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...

The latest release of Hudson, 1.344, was released on February 5th, 2010. The release contains primarily bug-fixes but has a few enhancements baked into it as well. As mentioned in "[Incoming! More Translations", 1.344 incorporates a number of community-driven translations (see the other post for more information). Additionally, 1.344 removes the "easter egg" background image I wrote about in a post to my personal...

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...
