Cruisecontrol Config and Monitor Tool / News: Recent posts

The first build of CC-Config version 1.8.1 includes some improvements made by MSOE students. The most significant changes include the following:

Configuration
* Refactored ConfigurationFileMapper class and added missing labelincrementers.
* Added unit tests for wizard and new project creation.

Monitoring
* Resolved Column Switching bug found on Server Overview Panel.

Future builds of 1.8.1 may be released if any small defects are reported and fixed. However, the majority of CC-Config development time is being spent on the newer version 2.0 which already contains major changes. Our main goal is to dynamically populate plugin elements and documentation directly from the CruiseControl server rather than relying on other, possibly out-of-date, sources.

The final release of the 1.7 codebase has been tested and ready to go.

Changes are all on the Monitoring side for the single view of all servers:
* Fix server restart detection.
* Handle restart of single server.
* Better handling of updates for a single server.
* Server status indicator(s) added to panel that displays all servers.
* Checkbox menu items so you can tell which is the active view.... read more
