• JRuby Branch merged!

  Yesterday, Kohsuke announced that the 'jruby' branch of jenkins-core had been merged to master. This doesn’t mean that we’re done and that you can go forth and write pure ruby plugins…​ not by any stretch of the imagination. Instead, what it does mean, is that the Jenkins mainline is much more friendly to runtime analysis of classes with which it is...

• Jenkins User Conference

  We’ve done meetups, we’ve done sessions, we’ve done workshops, now it’s about time we went ahead and did user conference don’t you think? Our pals over at CloudBees (Harpeet specifically) have taken the initiative in starting to organize just that: a Jenkins User Conference on October 2nd.

• Windows installers are now available

  Good portion of Java developers use Windows, so we tend to think the opposite is true, that a good portion of Windows folks use Java. But this is not true. As Jenkins gains traction among .NET developers, it’s becoming increasingly clear that Java is very alien to them. They naturally have no idea of what a war file means, and often...

• Updated Usage Stats Available!

  Updated usage statistics are now available at https://jenkins-ci.org/census This data has been scrubbed of distinguishing information as much as possible, filtered for installations we’ve seen at least twice a month with at least one job set up, and split up into monthly JSON files.

• Jenkins!

  (This was sent as an email to the Hudson dev and users mailing lists after voting concluded, but I thought it’d be good to post it here as well.) The vote is closed, and the results are in. More than half of the total votes were from ineligible voters, but the result would have been the same either way. The final...

• Hudson's future

  First, my apologies for the lack of updates on the Hudson/Oracle situation for the last few weeks. While talks have been ongoing, the holidays have slowed things down, and we didn’t want to send out information that would later turn out not to be true. We’ve been waiting for the talks to reach a resolution - and I believe they now have. Since the java.net...
