What's New in TeamCity 5.1
TeamCity 5.1 mostly contains improvements of the features included into the TeamCity 5.0 (new features in 5.0), as well as a lot of bug-fixes. NotificationsTeamCity notification templates are now based on the Freemarker which provides great customization abilities. Moreover, we brushed up the templates - now they contain more useful information and look better. For example, Email notifier uses HTML for email messages. Read more about new abilities in our documentation. TemplatesInherited build configurations are now more customizable. You can add more triggers and VCS roots than is defined in the template itself. Build triggers UI was redesigned, and build triggers are now fully pluggable, i.e. you can write your own trigger with custom UI and features, read more. DashboardNot only projects can be collapsed on the dashboard, it is now possible to define custom order of build configurations or even hide some of them. MavenCode coverage support based on IDEA coverage engine is added for Maven runner. See Code Coverage section on Maven runner. Once configured, you will be able to review coverage results on the Coverage report tab of the build and in the Coverage statistics chart for the build configuration. In order to have this feature properly work, please ensure your tests are run in fork=true mode. Maven artifact trigger now supports classifiers. Current ProblemsThe Project Page was populated with a new tab - Current Problems, where you can find all currently failing configurations and not yet fixed tests. Problematic tests, i.e. the tests failed within the last 120 hours are moved under this tab. Time Zone DetectionIf your team members work in different time zones, they can enable timezone autodetection on the My Settings page. In this case TeamCity will convert date / time to autodetected timezone. New Actions in Build QueueMultiple delete action was added to the build queue. You can easily clean the queue with a few clicks. In the Stop build dialog an option was added to "Re-add" build to the queue after the stop. This is especially useful for remote run builds in case if you need take some agent for you own needs quickly. Plugins TabPlugins tab was added on the Administration -> Server configuration page. It shows external plugins, i.e. plugins installed under the TEAMCITY_DATA_PATH/plugins directory as well as plugins bundled with TeamCity distribution. Diagnostics TabWe added one more tab on the Administration -> Server configuration page, called Diagnostics. JDBC DriversNow you can put JDBC drivers for external database under the TEAMCITY_DATA_PATH/lib/jdbc directory.

Agent Matrix ImprovementsGrouping by project option was added. Artifacts PublishingTeamCity agent now is able to produce zip and tar.gz artifacts from a bunch of files and upload the resulting archives to the server. To enable this feature use syntax like: Additionally to .zip archives artifact dependencies can now fetch files from .tar.gz. Java Detection on AgentsNew plugin for agent detects installed Java (JDK and JRE) and sets corresponding environment variables, which then can be used in requirements, or referenced in build configuration settings. For example, if JDK 1.5 is found, plugin will set the environment variable: JDK_15, you can reference it in the build configuration settings: %env.JDK_15% You can find all of the reported variables on the Environment variables tab of the agent. IDE IntegrationAll IDE plugins now allow to start remote runs with custom properties or environment variables.
