Regular readers will recognize that I've been slacking off quite a bit lately with my release announcements, my apologies. With the release of 1.368 on Sunday, which fixed a few fairly important bugs, I figured I'd dusty off my blogging fedora and give this a shot. This release has three bug fixes in it which were causing some issues for some users, particularly those deploying...

In my capacity as Build Guy at Digg, I've written up a blog post on our new continuous deployment/code review/pre-tested commit workflow. We're using a combination of Hudson, Git and Gerrit, Selenium and more to make sure that every change going to Digg's new site has been thoroughly tested. Read the whole post, with all the juicy details over on Digg's Technology Blog!...

A few weeks ago, Kohsuke stopped by the San Francisco Selenium Meetup hosted by Sauce Labs to talk about all things Selenium and Hudson related (with a bit of Sauce in there too). The good folks over at Sauce Labs have gotten around to posting some of the videos taken with Kohsuke. Instead of embed the videos, I wanted to directly link to the post and...

So you've got your fancy Android cell phone and you're thinking to yourself "besides feeling smugly superior to iPhone users, what can I do with this thing?" Perhaps you should be considering using it as a phone but if that's too boring, check out the new and improved Hudson Mood widget for Android! The latest release brings support for multiple servers and fancier graphics. If...

The developer for the Hudson extension for Google Chrome, Sebastian Sanitz, emailed the users@ list today to inform the community of an update to his fantastic extension. Sebastian's extension monitors ci.hudson-labs.org by default, but the URL and polling interval are both trivial to change. When any of the builds in the configured URL fail, you'll see a red "Fail" indicator, otherwise green "Ok". If you're interested...

Over the past year Hudson has grown tremendously, both within the Java community and outside of it. Partially thanks to [Titus Brown](http://twitter.com/ctitusbrown)'s PyCon 2010 Atlanta coverage of continuous integration for Python (which we've [covered before](http://www.hudson-labs.org/content/hudson-pycon)), Hudson has made great strides within the Python community as well. In my experience, the majority of Python developers are not using Hudson to **build** anything, unless they have C...

Squee-D had some nice things to say in the #hudson IRC channel yesterday that I thought I would share: Just to sing some praise again, make sure you all know how appreciated it is, we absolutely love hudson, and appreciate everyone who develops and maintains it. Positive feedback (and negative really) is always appreciated; have you thanked your plugin maintainer today?...

The Hudson team has released Hudson 1.365 which contains a critical security fix! A security advisory released yesterday by InfraDNA goes on to explain the hole with more detail: This vulnerability allows an attacker to read arbitrary files in the server file system whose path names are known, by sending malicious HTTP GET requests. While such access is still subject to the normal access control enforced...
