We talked about problems on the horizon, potential solutions, and then I spent the last half hour ripping a bit of code. The truth of the matter is that most of the changes that have to be done to Jenkins core...

• Jenkins Long-Term Support Release

  We have released 1.409.1, our first long-term support (LTS) release, from the Jenkins project. The idea of the LTS release is to provide a second release line the favors more stability and bug fix only maintenance. This release line branches off from a bit old Jenkins release (in this case 1.409), and we will only put important backported bug fixes. We’ll...

• Upcoming Events in June and early July

  I’ve just added three events coming up in the next few weeks to the Jenkins calendar. Conveniently, they are all events I’ll be attending while traveling around Western Europe!

• The State of the Jenkins Project

  A few weeks ago our very own Kohsuke Kawaguchi gave a presentation at the Silicon Valley CI Summit held in Mountain View. Within the presentation, Kohsuke included a collection of numbers about the vibrancy of the Jenkins project that certainly hasn’t gotten enough attention. While the slideshow is embedded below, here’s some good high-level points: Over 170 GitHub pull requests in the...

• Jenkins hits 1.400

  Jenkins is now at 1.400 (as of last Monday, yes, I know. But better late than never…​). As with 1.300 and 1.200, this release doesn’t particularly signify any substantial major release, but nonetheless it is a milestone for those of us who are involved in the project — I think repeating something 400 times is something one can be proud...
