PRAGUE, December 1 /PRNewswire/ --

- The Latest Version of JetBrains' Distributed Build Management and 
Continuous Integration Server

JetBrains(R), creators of intelligent, productivity-enhancing tools for
software developers, have announced the general availability of the fourth
major release of TeamCity, its continuous integration server and distributed
build management tool. TeamCity automates routine procedures, streamlines the
software development process, improves team communication, and helps
development teams implement agile methodology and other industry best
practices.

With exceptional scalability provided by the build grid, extensibility
via Java API, and integration with multiple IDEs, version control systems and
build tools, TeamCity has already been adopted in hundreds of companies
worldwide. It enjoys wide recognition as a solution that allows easy
management and optimization of release engineering in large-scale build
infrastructures, yet provides utility for every developer and every team.

"Since its creation, TeamCity has been a key element in our own
development process," said JetBrains CEO Sergey Dmitriev. "The production
TeamCity server at JetBrains currently has over 50 build configurations in a
build grid with more than 50 build agents, with literally every project and
every developer using it on a daily basis. With features such as quick
feedback on build progress, pre-tested commits, and server-side code analysis
with over 600 code inspections, TeamCity tremendously reduces the time needed
for introducing new features and fixes. It helps us achieve higher
end-product quality at a faster pace than ever before."

For individual developers and small-to-medium teams, TeamCity 4.0 is
available free of charge via the free Professional Edition, which is
restricted to 20 build configurations and three build agents.

TeamCity 4.0 brings a number of improvements in many areas, including:

    - Build Chains support, which allows breaking down a single build
      procedure into several parts/builds that can be run on different build
      agents, in sequence or in parallel, using the same set of sources in 
      all of them

    - Tests Re-ordering - TeamCity 4.0 can determine which tests are likely
      to fail, and perform those tests first the next time the project 
      builds

    - Any build can be redone from a particular version control revision
      (history builds)

    - Improved agents authentication mechanics, per-agent CPU-benchmarks, and
      agents overview statistics matrix

    - Statistics for an entire project, and comparative statistics on a
      single chart

    - New integrations, including FxCop and dedicated Rake runner, as well as
      improvements for old ones such as MSTest

    - A new, highly improved Eclipse integration, which brings to the Eclipse
      world many cool features previously available only for IntelliJ IDEA 
      users

    - Lots of user interface improvements: new Project page with
      project-centric information and statistics, a dedicated page for 
      viewing individual test statistics and details, and many improvements 
      in dependencies management

    - Some of the plugins bundled with TeamCity, such as the integrations
      with Eclipse, ClearCase and FxCop, are now open source

    - Numerous other improvements including notifications, VCS integration, a
      greatly improved search engine, and more (see
