ANN: Autonomy.NET 1.4 BETA

We have just released 1.4 BETA of Autonomy.NET.

Autonomy.NET is a Windows service application designed to facilitate
continuous integration.  Autonomy.NET monitors your source code repository,
automatically rebuilds your project when changes are detected and then
emails you the build result along with a list of changes since the last
build.

Autonomy.NET is completely free and includes source released under a
BSD-style licence. Please read the licence included with the distribution
for more information.

This BETA release can be downloaded from:

http://www.chive.com/products/autonomy/autonomy-server-1.4.msi
http://www.chive.com/products/autonomy/autonomy-client-1.4.msi

The major changes are:

- Support for Visual SourceSafe repositories.
- Support for Visual Studio builds.
- Support for CVS branches.

The VSS support is the main reason why this version is being first released
as a BETA.  We don't user VSS in production, and therefore are not convinced
the VSS support is fully functional.  It would be great to get some real
world feedback on this feature.

To accommodate these new features, the format of the configuration file has
changed.

- <name> is now required on all builds
- CVS options should be grouped under a <cvs> element.
- NAnt options should be grouped under a <nant> element.

See the included chm file for more information.

Note: We are still trying to get the MSI installer to install over a 1.3
installation properly.  For the moment please follow these steps to install.

- Backup your existing config.xml and keep in a safe place.
- Uninstall Autonomy.NET using the control panel.
- Delete or rename the Autonomy.NET installation directory.
- Reboot.
- Install 1.4 using the MSI installer.
- Configure the supplied config.xml file using your old config.xml as a
guide.
- Start the Autonomy.NET service.

Please use the autonomy-users mailing list for support issues. To subscribe,
send a blank email to [email protected].  The archive can
be browsed here http://list.chive.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=autonomy-users.

We hope you find Autonomy.NET useful!

Kind regards
