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...

As you may have read in April, Kohsuke left Oracle to found InfraDNA, a company specializing around Hudson. The departure meant the Hudson community would no longer have access to some...
After Hudson got some major publicity at PyCon Atlanta 2010 I haven’t been as quick as I would have liked with Python-related posts and tutorials. I use Hudson to build and test a number of pure Python modules and C extensions across numerous Python versions (covering 2.4 - 3.1). For most beginners, or those simply looking to get started with Python on Hudson, starting...
