| h3. Changes since 2.0 beta1 |
| # Fix the bug of not able to stop QuickBuild server/agent on Solaris platform. |
| # Fix a bug that database is queried frequently when user interface is auto-refreshed. |
| # Simplified build agent set up: Build agents can now only be downloaded by administrator and agents installed with this package can now connect to QuickBuild server directly without authorization. |
| # DHCP can be used with build agents. Under the hood, QuickBuild uses security token to authenticate build agents instead of using static ip addresses. |
| # Configuration workspaces are named by configuration name and organized in a hierarchical structure by default. |
| # Child configurations can be easily selected by hoving mouse over the arrow next to the configuration name in the navigation area. |
| # Subversion repository is enhanced to be able to checkout urls non-recursively. |
| # Add report set support for publishing reports. |
| # Fix a bug that search results always return empty in 'By Packages' tab. |
| # Fix a bug that NPE is thrown when there is no data for JFreeChart. |
| |
| |

| # Introduce the concept of proof build to build/test user's uncommited changes at server, and optionally checkin that those changes automatically if build/test succeeds. |
| #* [working with proof build|Working with Proof Build] |
| #* [setup proof build|10. Setup Proof Build] |
| # Visually arrange steps to design build process. Refer to below documents for details: |
| #* [configuration setup|01. Configuration Setup] |
| # Build promotion visualization. Source build and destination build will be linked to show the promotion relation. |
| # Fine grained access control when assign permissions for groups. |
| # Be able to customize build option screen and promote option screen when manually triggers a build or promote a build. This is supported through prompt settings of variables. |
| # Builds can run concurrently even for a single configuration to better utilize build grid resource. To configure concurrent running builds for a single configuration, the master step needs to be configured to run on agent instead of server. |
| # Be able to recommend build. Recommended build will have a star icon attached. Promote operation can be configured to only applicable for recommended builds. |
| # Build changes will be collected during a build promotion process. For example, if a release build is generated as result of promoting from a QA build, the change set between current release and last release will be collected automatically. |
| # Be able to view/diff changed source files in the change set panel. |
| # Be able to compare two builds (not necessary ajacent) and generate changes between them. |
