• "Thank you" page for Windows/OS X installers

  I’ve tweaked the website so that downloading the Windows and Mac installers will navigate the browser to "thank you/what’s next" page. These pages have links to Wiki that educate the users on where/how the installer will run Jenkins. Hopefully this makes it little easier for new users to get started on Jenkins. I’ve tested the new mechanism with IE, Safari, and...

• Building Jenkins plugins with Gradle

  Until now, Jenkins plugins written in Java or Groovy could only be built with Maven, using the maven-hpi-plugin to generate a proper manifest and archive which Jenkins can consume. But starting now, you can also use Gradle! See the wiki for information on how you can use Gradle and the new gradle-jpi-plugin to build, test and release your Java or Groovy...

  Thanks to the kindness from Gliffy, we can now add diagrams to Wiki pages, in a way that enables collaborative edits. See more info, including a sample diagram in a Wiki page....

• Jenkins survey result and what UI improvement would you like?

  "> Jenkins community survey result is in, which shows a number of interesting stats for us developers, such as 82% of people saying their Jenkins is mission critical, or the spread of distributed builds, especially compared to my earlier similar usage analytics. But just as interesting is the free-form answers to questions like "If there was anything you could you change about...

• Thanks for the support PagerDuty!

  Over drinks this evening Kohsuke pointed out that he never saw a blog post about PagerDuty.image:https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://agentdero.cachefly.net/continuousblog/images/pagerduty_logo.png If you’ve never worked in a sysadmin role or in any other position that would require an on-call rotation, then you may have never seen PagerDuty. In essence the service provides a great series of integration points with Pingdom or Nagios for handling monitoring. As an...

• Fundraising drive update: thank you everyone!

  "> Our earlier appeal for donation was a drastic boost to our fund-raising drive, (and looking at the twitter reactions, it feels like the Wikipedia parody we put on Jenkins on Jenkins helped spread the words — I guess jokes do work! And I’m happy to report that we’ve successfully raised over $12000 as of today. That’s more than enough to pay...

• Holiday appeal: please help Jenkins pay the project expense

  As we approach the holiday season, which is when people start to feel more charitable, at least in the U.S. So I’d like to make one more plea, that the Jenkins project needs your help in paying its expense, and that we are still about $1000 shy of the goal we need to get to. So if you can, please...

• Community-contributed localizations to be bundled in Jenkins 1.443

  In 1.430, we added the translation assistance plugin in the hope of increasing the contribution from the community. It’s been 3 months, and I’ve finally took the opportunity to integrate them into Jenkins. The result is pretty amazing. Before this, we had 26 languages, with wildly varying degree of completeness, such as French, Japanese, German, etc. This is still pretty good,...

• The beginning of a new era: Ruby plugins now a reality

  It’s not often that I get to use that much hyperbole in a Jenkins blog post, but I think in this case it’s allowable. A journey that started over a year ago by Charles Lowell has reached a new level, thanks to lots of help from Kohsuke along with Hiroshi Nakamura and Jørgen Tjernø. As of today, with Jenkins 1.438, you...
