CruiseControl.NET : CCNet 1.5 RC1 Release Notes
This page last changed on Feb 08, 2010 by williams.

Highlights of the CCNet 1.5 RC1 release

The RC1 is mainly a bug fix of the CTP, which had more than enough new features.
Smaller improvements are off course also done. The documentation also got a complete overhaul.
Craig wrote a Documentation Generator, which makes all the pages more consitent.
This release is alreay used in production environments by many users , but as always : take a backup.
The full version number : 1.5.6804.1

A word of thank

Most (if not all) of the new stuff comes from Craig, so many thanks to him for his great work and devotion.
You can read his blog at : Automated Coder

Keep in mind ...
  • The email publisher config is NOT compatible if you used the group element, check the new configuration in the documentation.
  • Some internal interfaces are changed, so 3rd party plugins could be broken
