Dear users, 

We've released a new product GitPlex recently. It is a git repository management and code review server, featuring IDE-like code browsing and directory/file level write control. It integrates with QuickBuild to do build request build verification. For details, please check out https://www.gitplex.com

All QuickBuild commercial users are entitled to get a 5-year, 200-user license for GitPlex. Please contact me [robin@pmease.com] if you are interested. 

Thanks for your attention.

Dear users,

We are pleased to announce early access of a new product, GitPlex. It is a git repository management server working with QuickBuild to provide new experience of source browsing and code review.

A bit background of GitPlex:

While developing QuickBuild and supporting our customers, we want a git tool able to understand our code, so that we can quickly find symbols and jump between them in selected revisions to be efficient. The tool should allow us to comment and discuss on any block of code or diff freely, even outside of pull request context. We also want the tool to automatically squash commits in a pull request upon merging to keep the history clean and understandable, plus many other practical requirements. None of the products on the market sufficed our needs, so we created GitPlex three years ago to manage QuickBuild code base. As the tool gets mature over time through our daily usage, we decide to make it a separate product to share our practices on code review. Interested users may check out the iterative code review process able to be achieved with GitPlex here:

http://wiki.pmease.com/display/GP10/Iterative+Review+with+Pull+Request

Or check out below for a lightweight review process:

http://wiki.pmease.com/display/GP10/Express+Review+with+File+Commenting

And here is list of features making GitPlex different from other products:

https://www.pmease.com/gitplex

At last, all QuickBuild users with valid services will be able to get unlimited license of GitPlex 1.0 for free when it is released.

Thanks for your time and we hope that you feel the product useful.

QuickBuild 3.1 is released to integrate with Git, Mercurial, Bazaar and Team Foundation Server. This integration makes possible below actions in a continuous integration or release management environment when dealing with these SCMs:

• Retrieve source code for build and test from tip or specified revision.
• Create tags for retrieved source code if necessary.
• Detect source changes between builds and notify committers under specified condition.
• Promote SCM revisions to higher stage, for example from qa to release.

Git, Mercurial and Bazaar integration also includes the gated push feature, with which you can submit ready-for-push commits to QuickBuild for build/test, and have QuickBuild to push them to the official repository automatically after building/testing successfully.

This release also supports to build .NET projects through MSBuild and Visual Studio solution builder.

Refer to http://www.pmease.com/features/whats-new/ for details.

• Step can be repeated for different set of parameters, either parallelly, or sequentially. For example, you may create a singe test step to have it execute for each combination of possible databases and OS platforms, or have it run on all applicable build agents. This can greatly reduce number of steps needed in a complex build workflow.
• QuickBuild can now terminate spawned build processes immediately and reliably when a build is canceled or timed out. You no longer need to manually kill relevant processes to release workspace mutexes. This works on Windows, Linux and Unix platforms.
• A non-admin account can now be authorized to administer a configuration subtree.
• Multiple promote actions can be defined with the ability to customize the condition of each action. For example, you may define a release action and have it appear only when build is recommended and current user belongs to release manager group.
• Inherited settings such as steps, repositories and variables will be displayed directly in descendant configurations. This makes examination and modification of inherited settings much easier.
• Build workflow can now be created/rearranged by dragging and dropping steps.
• Trends of duration and success rate of each executed steps are now available in statistics tab of a configuration. You can even compare these trends between different steps to find out which step fails the most and which step costs the most time.
• SCM changes screen is reworked to support text search in changes between two arbitrary builds.
• The same step can now be reused in different composition steps.
• Add the option of auto-detecting user time zone from browser to display local date/time.
