CruiseControl upgrade

Last week version 2.3 of cruisecontrol was released (Release notes). I upgraded our cruisecontrol installation today. It’s actually pretty easy:

  • Download cruisecontrol and unzip.
  • Build the main application
  • Update your start scripts for cruisecontrol
  • Build the reporting application
  • Deploy the resulting war file

I didn’t experience any problems during the upgrade, just some junit tests which didn’t work, but the application seems to work without problems.

The reporting web application appears to be faster in this version, the previous version was so slow i used tail to monitor the build process. Another improvement is the fact that you can now use properties in the configuration file: ant style properties.
