We’ve been beavering away to get XFD up to scratch for this competition and we’re almost ready. XFD has a whole host of UI improvements (see the credits for the superstars who helped), and we’re working on supporting more CI servers, very soon. Would you take 2 minutes to give us a vote? Thank you! [...]

No, actually it was a pleasant summer day, but daylight lacks a certain dramatic flare which is so necessary for a good story, especially a story about build systems. I was working as the semi-lead developer [...]

It’s 23:30 at Build Doctor HQ, so this is a quick post: Atlassian announced a couple of new releases today. FishEye 2 and Crucible 2. Both come with social features, which is interesting.
