Re: Build-Log in Dashboard

I've had this question too.  Unfortunately, I only have another  
somewhat unsatisfactory work-around.  CC has a (now) deprecated API to  
build a widget for the Dashboard.  This info is hard to find as  
they've pulled the page from the site, however, because I found no  
other satisfactory solution, I implemented a widget (which is very  
easy and serves the exact purpose).  As a starting point - you can  
still hit the page directly:

http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/widgets.html

I'm really curious what the new supported way of creating widgets is?   
Is there one?
