Welcome to the first article in the CruiseControl Best Practices series here at build-doctor.com. Today’s article is about Publishers: Many projects use the concept of publishing: placing built artifacts into a repository, or making test results available to end users.

Eric Lefevre just posted an analysis on download stats for both CI tools. Interesting. Link

Jez Humble announced it to the CruiseControl developers on April 15. Presumably this will replace CruiseControl Enterprise, which was announced about a year ago. Call me shallow, but I [...]
