• Recent label and matrix project improvement

  Today, I’d highlight two recent improvements to the label and matrix projects. When you have multiple agents in your Hudson build farm, you can use labels to classify agents by their capability/environment/architecture/etc. For example, your one agent might have “32bit” and “windows” label, while another one might have “linux”, “ubuntu”, and “64bit.” (with plugins like <a href=`"https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/PlatformLabeler+Plugin`">platform-labeler plugin</a>, you can attach...

• CloudBees announce Hudson-as-a-Service

  CloudBees announced the beta availability of their new Hudson-as-a-service "HaaS" today. I see this as yet another validation to Hudson, and as such, I welcome this new addition to the community and wish them well! — more companies betting on Hudson means we’ll get more investment to the project, which is all goodness for Hudson users. It’s been 5 months...

• Hudson Anonymous Usage Data

  In late 2008, the Hudson team released version 1.264 which added an anonymous reporting feature (you can opt-out in the "Manage Hudson" screen). The reporting feature has been sending information back to the Hudson team to help us understand how Hudson is used in aggregate; the info being reported includes the number of jobs configured, agent configurations, what plugins (and...

• Quiet Period Feature

  Commits often come in a burst. This seems to happen mainly for two reasons — people sometimes forget to commit some files, and in the tranquility of waiting for your SCM to finish a commit, people sometimes realize the problems in the commit and they quickly make follow-up changes. The conventional wisdom is that the CI server should wait for the burst...

• Dogfooding Hudson - We're Looking for Agents!

We’re currently building Hudson proper, the Hudson core RC branch, individual builds for the various Hudson plugins and Gerrit, as well as various libraries and infrastructure jobs Hudson depends on. We’re...

• Hudson 1.368 Released!

  Regular readers will recognize that I’ve been slacking off quite a bit lately with my release announcements, my apologies. With the release of 1.368 on Sunday, which fixed a few fairly important bugs, I figured I’d dusty off my blogging fedora and give this a shot. This release has three bug fixes in it which were causing some issues for some...

• Continuous Deployment on the new Digg

  In my capacity as Build Guy at Digg, I’ve written up a blog post on our new continuous deployment/code review/pre-tested commit workflow. We’re using a combination of Hudson, Git and Gerrit, Selenium and more to make sure that every change going to Digg’s new site has been thoroughly tested. Read the whole post, with all the juicy details over on Digg’s...

A security advisory released yesterday by InfraDNA goes on to explain the hole with more detail: This vulnerability allows an attacker to read arbitrary files in the server file system whose path names are known, by sending malicious HTTP GET requests.
