[Trac] [ANN] Bitten 0.5 released

[Christopher Lenz]

Hey all,

I've just released version 0.5 of Bitten.

Bitten is a simple distributed continuous integration system that not  
only
coordinates builds across multiple machines, but also collects software
metrics generated by builds, to enable feedback and reporting about
the progress of a software project.


The major changes are:

* BDB XML is no longer being used for report storage. Instead,
   collected metrics data is stored in the Trac database.
* Snapshot archives created by the master are checked for integrity
   prior to their transmission to the slaves.
* Improvements to the build status presentation in Trac.
* Changes to the build recipe format. See the documentation on the web
   site for details.
* New recipe commands: <sh:pipe>, <c:configure>, <c:cppunit>,
   <java:ant>, <java:junit>, and <x:transform>. Various improvements to
   the existing commands.
* Recipe commands and command attributes in recipes can now reference
   slave configuration values.
* The names of the master and slaves scripts have changed: `bittend`
   is now `bitten-master`, `bitten` is now `bitten-slave`.
* The build master can now handle multiple Trac environments.
* The build slave now by default removes any working directories when
   done.
* Build configurations can now be completely deleted.
* Build configurations can now have a minimum and maximum revision
   specified. Any revisions outside that range will not be built.
* The build configuration editor now validates the supplied values.
* Fix management of target platforms when running under mod_python.
* Improved performance of the build log formatter that is responsible
   for linking file references in build logs to the repository browser.
* Add paging to the build configuration view.
