Announcing Cruise - Continuous Integration and Release Management system
Since ThoughtWorks' creation of CruiseControl, the first open source continuous integration server, our consultants have been helping our clients implement the practice of continuous integration. Over the years we've developed a catalogue of principles and practices around build and deployment management to deliver fast, high quality, low risk software releases. All of this collected experience has gone into the development of Cruise.
If you want to just get started with continuous integration, you can get up and running in just a few minutes.
If you're already a continuous integration power user, you'll appreciate features like:
- Our zero-configuration build cloud, which means you only configure Cruise in one place. Install Cruise Agents on other computers and they'll pick up configuration and check out code automatically. You can even monitor the status of every Agent and see its live build output on the central dashboard.
- Integrated support for build pipelines. Group your build into stages, and see your changes progress through the various tests and environments you define from check-in through to deployment. Manually control the progress of builds through your environments.
- Powerful parallelisation. Split long-running builds into jobs, and idle Cruise Agents will pick them up and run them in parallel. Make your tests run faster, and test easily on multiple platforms. ...and much more.
We've been using Cruise internally within ThoughtWorks on some of our largest and most critical projects to get their feedback and make sure that we've created a product that addresses the problems that high-performance software delivery teams face today. We hope you will be delighted using Cruise, and we look forward to your feedback as we start work on 1.1.

Is there a published plugin api. I like what i see but without a git scm provider it's a non starter.

What builders do you support? In the video you mention Ant. Any others?

Thanks for your comments.
@Kevin: Git is very high up our list for SCM support. It will definitely be there for 1.1. We don't have a plug-in API right now.
@Nick: We support any builder or command you like through the "exec" builder. However you can explicitly choose ant, nant and rake.
@Rafel: you can get a free license for up to 2 agents. For now, get yourself a trial license from the download page. When that expires, you can get a free license.
Thanks,
Jez. -

Thanks Jez. I was hoping you'd support rake. Looks like I'll have to download a trial and play around! Any plans on having an online demo available with sample projects setup?

does it support .net projects?

@WD, yes it does via Nant as a builder. MSBuild is on the way as are SCMs popular in the .Net community.

If I want to keep on the trial edition as I don't need higher performance editions in my company projects, can I use cruise for dealing with many projects; more than 5 projects but building 2 of them simultaneously?

@Heba If you go to the Cruise download page and enter the email address you originally used to download Cruise, you will be issued with a free 2 agent 1 year license. You can then download the new 1.1 release of Cruise. With the free license, you are limited to only running 2 jobs simultaneously, but you can have as many projects as you like.
