A new version of CruiseControl BugzillaPublisher is in progress. This version supports CruiseControl 2.8.3 and provide bug fixes.
This version will be submitted to patch to the CruiseControl team.

AutoDeploy 0.5.6 will be the latest release on the 0.5 branch, including bug fixes.

AutoDeploy is back to the business. Two major news: AutoDeploy 0.6 will be provided in Apache 2.0 license and based on pure OSGi basis (using Apache Karaf, Apache Aries, Blueprint, etc).
The AutoDeploy Console will be still available in pure war format or OSGi-fied format.
The AutoDeploy architecture has been heavily improved, structured around OSGi bundles and using services and provide an easy way to move into Apache ACE.
A large set of new components is used such as Apache CXF (WebService/DOSGi), JAXB, etc.
On the other hand, new infrastructure is in progress such as Git repo and new Continuum server with maven 3 support.

BuildEraser 1.0.0 has been released. It's now based fully on OSGi/Blueprint powered by Apache Felix Karaf.
You can manage all BuildEraser resources via the shell console and lot of new features haven been included.

A rewritten of BuildEraser has been performed providing a more flexible configuration. It's now fully based on OSGi/Blueprint powered by Apache Felix Karaf.
First snapshots are available for Unix and Windows system:

http://maven.nanthrax.net/net/sourceforge/buildprocess/builderaser/buildprocess-builderaser/1.1.0-SNAPSHOT/buildprocess-builderaser-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT.zip

To be more clear, the AutoDeploy artifacts names have changed. Now we have the AutoDeploy Agent: it's the small part installed on the target server. And the AutoDeploy Console: it's the main web application that manage the AutoDeploy configuration and interacts with the agents.
You can download it:
for the AutoDeploy Agent:
