 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.

 #* [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.
