Because I work on Jenkins day in day out, it's easy for me to forget that most people don't pay /that/ much attention to Jenkins. If you fit that category, and if you want to stay on top of the latest happenings in Jenkins, don’t miss Volume 2 of Continuous Information, the CloudBees Newsletter for Jenkins.
This issue...
Features details about the 6 upcoming Jenkins User Conferences (don’t miss these)
Announces the new Jenkins CIA Program (join us to promote Jenkins around the globe)
Shows you where to find in-depth information about the latest Jenkins UI improvements and featured plugins (cool stuff)
Highlights the importance of Jenkins Security Advisories (install these regularly)
Tells you why Jenkins has blue balls instead of green ones (seriously)
Shows you the latest Jenkins Usage Stats (still growing super-fast)
… and more great stuff, including a bit of Jenkins humor (courtesy of our friends at Geek and Poke)
In my capacity as Build Guy at Digg, I've written up a blog post on our new continuous deployment/code review/pre-tested commit workflow. We're using a combination of Hudson, Git and Gerrit, Selenium and more to make sure that every change going to Digg's new site has been thoroughly tested.
Recently our fearless leader, Kohsuke Kawaguchi, was invited by the nice folks over at Digg to give a tech talk about continuous integration and automated testing. The Digg engineering team is full of believers in continuous integration, including our very own Andrew Bayer (abayer). Being big users of the Sauce Labs service to drive their vast Selenium test suite, the house was packed with Selenium hackers/users and Hudson users, the stage was set for Kohsuke to give a great presentation.
The release of 1.355 came out earlier this week but I hadn't had the chance to write anything up about it. Of course, the work never stops on Hudson so we almost have 1.356 ready to roll out the door, but then Kohsuke tweeted this:
Because of the data center migration going on, I won't be able to release #hudsonci today.
I won't go into details on some of the infrastructure changes we have lined up just yet, so here's the breakdown of 1.355
In a nutshell Jenkins CI is the leading open-source continuous integration server. Built with Java, it provides over 400 plugins to support building and testing virtually any project.
