CCNet Version 1.8.0 release notes

It's been a while, but we're back. The switch to the new infrastructure took some more time than anticipated, but it paid off.
Also choosing for Git as source control seems to be good choice, there are already some new contributors active, and it's a lot
easier to incorporate their work. A lot of the new features and bug fixes come from the contributors, so many thanks goes to them!
Also we start with a new numbering scheme for CCNet :
The odd versions are dev builds, like 1.7. The even numbers (like 1.8) are Release versions.
Backwards compatibility issues... read more

After years of good collaboration with Thoughtworks, it appeared that Thoughtworks had less resources to spent for CCNet.
This problem came painfully visible when their site was hacked with a virus. It took a long time for the help page to come back up, and the build server is still not up.

Some months ago we (the active members) decided to move the hosting to another server, so we would be less dependent on Thoughtworks. No hard feelings, it were great years of cooperation but time moved on.... read more

Highlights of the CCNet 1.5 release

It has taken a lot of time, but here it finally is : the final release of 1.5
This release fixes bugs reported on the RC.
Keep in mind ...

* The email publisher config is NOT compatible with 1.4.4 if you used the group element, check the new configuration in the documentation.
* Some internal interfaces are changed, so 3rd party plugins could be broken

At the bottom are the items fixed in this release.... read more

This is mainly an update to the 1.4.4 release to address the issue of the wrong NetReflector version.
That gave problems with the existing plugins, also the msbuild logger problem with the hot-swap has been fixed.
