Included in this release is Alan Harder’s (a.k.a mindless) old data monitor code, discussed previously in the post "Call for Testers: The older the better." Included in this release were further updates to the japanese and german localizations of...

• What new features do you want to see?

  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...

• Call for Testers: The older the better

  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...

• Hudson 1.347 Released

  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 godin">godin committed...

• Performance improvements in 1.346

  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,...

• Keeping your configuration and data in Subversion

  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...

• What's going on with the Hudson's infrastructure

  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...
