* RESTful API to get average build duration and success rate in specified date range for a configuration
* RESTful API to query build dependency information
* Upgrade groovy to 1.8.9 to allow new scripting features

h1. FIXED BUGS
* Bazaar source control plugin should create destination path if it does not exist
* QB doesn't list changed files for bazaar
* Running a build for the first time does not auto-refresh the build overview page
* Operation of disable/enable configuration is not audited
* System resume action is not audited
* P4 proof build reports "can not clobber writable file" if clobber option is not checked
* P4 proof build reports "can not write readonly file" when reverting local changes in special cases
* Unexpected exception raised when defining custom stats indicator color using expression
* Unknown test status SUCCESS_PERCENTAGE_FAILURE when publishing TestNG report
* Option workspace is specified more than once when running TFS workfold command
* Checkout Failed with proofbuild perforce repository which has a depot containing spaces in the path
* Variables values set during the node selection script are not reflected outside of this script


h1. BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY ISSUES
* Since 5.0.14, RESTful APIs for fetching [changes|Interact with Changes] and [issues|Interact with Issues] are changed, especially for configuration param, the notable changes are, when you specify configuration path before 5.0.14, you need add *PATH:* as a prefix, now, you can specify the configuration path directly.
* Groovy is upgraded from 1.7.9 to 1.8.9 and this may affect some existing scripts.
