Urbancode Announces Release of New Version of Anthill Pro
Version 2.2 of award-winning Build Management Server is "Major Step Forward"
http://www.urbancode.com
CLEVELAND - MAY 24, 2004 - Urbancode, Inc., a Cleveland, Ohio based
software company, proudly announces the release of the latest version of
Anthill Pro, their award-winning Continuous Integration Build Management
Server software. Anthill Pro 2.2 Build Management Server keeps track of
current software development projects, schedules and executes unattended
software builds, issues build success and failure reports, and increments
build numbers, among other tasks, all through a convenient web-based
interface. Version 2.2 introduces several new features and fixes, including
"Blame the Developer", Cron-inspired scheduling, Subversion VCS support, and
improved UI performance.
"We believe Anthill Pro 2.2 is a major step forward from previous
versions," says Urbancode President Maciej Zawadzki. "Built on careful
consideration of the marketplace, user demands and requests, and our own
needs, because we use the product in-house, we think Anthill Pro 2.2 is at
the head of the class of Continuous Integration Build Management software."
A customer base of companies like eBay, EMC, and Intel proves that Anthill
Pro is enterprise-class software, but at under $1,300 per license, even
startups can manage software builds like the big boys.
Created by seasoned software developers, Anthill Pro 2.2 caters to the
software community by its modular design and inter-operability. Anthill Pro
2.2 functions across multiple version control systems, builders, languages,
platforms, and environments, and allows for parameter, property, and command
line customization of each individual build. Anthill Pro has drivers that
can connect to CVS, ClearCase, Perforce, StarTeam, PVCS, VSS, Subversion,
and MKS and can build in Ant (multiple versions), GNU Make, Shell Script,
and Maven. Anthill Pro 2.2 can even use different JVM's for specific builds.
Anthill Pro 2.2 features several enhancements to its already robust feature
set. "Blame the Developer" is an important feature for efficient developer
management. When a build fails, rather than bombard a manager or team with
failed build messages, only the developer responsible for the failed build
is notified - giving him or her an opportunity to correct the problem
quickly and discreetly.
Anthill Pro 2.2 Scheduling is now implemented in a Cron-inspired fashion
for greater flexibility. Scheduled Builds can now be set to run on certain
days of the week, at certain hours of the day (or a range of hours, such as
business hours), and at certain times during the hour. Intervals, both on an
hourly basis and minute basis, can also be set. The net effect is that a
Build Schedule can be designed, for example, to build at the top and bottom
of each hour during business hours during business days. In Anthill Pro 2.2,
there is no limit to the number of Build Schedule objects that can be
designed.
Anthill Pro 2.2 Email Notification now includes Total Build Time and Build
Time Stamps sent in every completed build email. The Anthill Pro 2.2 UI has
been improved, including better Navigation Tree formatting, Build Status
color staggering for easier viewing, and Build Track descriptions for quick
assessment of potentially cumbersome Build Status tables. VCS logs have
improved formatting for easier web-based viewing. Also, many user-identified
issues have been addressed.
Anthill Pro 2.2 is available for a fully-functional 30-day evaluation at
http://www.urbancode.com/products/anthillpro/secure/protected/download.jsp.
Please contact Maciej Zawadzki at 216-858-9000 for further information.
Webex or live demonstrations are available by appointment only.
