Version 2.0.6 (a point release) of Anthill Pro is now available.  This 
release includes the following bug fixes and new features:

-- issue #334 -- IMPLEMENTED -- ability to specify CVS password in 
Anthill Pro and have Anthill Pro log in to CVS
-- issue #342 -- IMPLEMENTED -- PVCS Driver supports user name and 
password parameters
-- issue #329 -- IMPLEMENTED -- StarTeam support
-- issue #319 -- FIXED -- FileSystemRepositoryDriver not restoring properly
-- issue #344 -- FIXED -- Some drivers not initializing after properties 
are changed
-- issue #320 -- FIXED -- RepositoryDriver registry entries duplicated
-- issue #291 -- FIXED -- Some build exceptions prevent build tracks 
from loading
-- issue #343 -- FIXED -- Main page displays project build status 
incorrectly
-- issue #307 -- FIXED -- Changing java home in a Java configuration 
should invalidate added classpath entries
-- issue #316 -- FIXED -- Null Pointer in Project Migration
-- issue #321 -- IMPLEMENTED -- Add a link to Anthill Pro intranet in 
email notifications
-- issue #322 -- IMPLEMENTED -- Capture and save all interaction with 
the VCS to a VCS log
-- issue #331 -- IMPLEMENTED -- Default Versioning Strategy to support 
version numbers in format <prefix><build_numb><postfix>
-- issue #335 -- IMPLEMENTED -- Property Versioning Strategy that stores 
project version number in Anthill Pro database and does not use a 
version file
-- issue #336 -- FIXED -- Rebuilding a previously built version would 
reset the version number to the version being rebuilt
-- issue #345 -- IMPLEMENTED -- Better handling of startup exceptions: 
display specific startup exceptions instead of generic exception with 
message to check license file
-- issue #346 -- IMPLEMENTED -- installation and upgrade scripts



Perhaps the biggest noticeable difference will be the installation and 
upgrade scripts included with the new release.  After downloading the 
new release, unarchive the downloaded file so that the contents get 
placed in the <anthillPro>/install directory (unarchive to the same 
directory to which you unarchived the previous downloads).  Then, go to 
the <anthillPro>/install directory and run the upgrade.bat or upgrade.sh 
script if you have an existing installation of AnthillPro 2.0.5 or run 
install.bat or install.sh if this is a clean install.

The upgrade scripts make a complete backup of your configuration data as 
well as the binary files used by the installed version of Anthill -- so 
a full recovery of the current installation is possible.  Also, if 
you've purchased a license, the upgrade script safely handles your 
license key during the upgrade.

As always, feedback is invited.

Thanks,
