• Windows installers are now available

  Good portion of Java developers use Windows, so we tend to think the opposite is true, that a good portion of Windows folks use Java. But this is not true. As Jenkins gains traction among .NET developers, it’s becoming increasingly clear that Java is very alien to them. They naturally have no idea of what a war file means, and often...

• The polls are open for the Jenkins Logo Contest!

  After a number of absolutely fantastic logo submissions from a number of designers, I’m extremely pleased to open the polls on the vote for the brand new Jenkins logo! The thumbnails do not do any of these logos justice in my opinion, so I recommend opening each logo up in its own tab to get the full effect :) I plan to...

• Jenkins hits 1.400

  Jenkins is now at 1.400 (as of last Monday, yes, I know. But better late than never…​). As with 1.300 and 1.200, this release doesn’t particularly signify any substantial major release, but nonetheless it is a milestone for those of us who are involved in the project — I think repeating something 400 times is something one can be proud...

• The first 24 hours in downloads

  As I had mentioned in a previous post back when Jenkins was called something else, who can remember what anymore, I spent a lot of time working on a mirroring network. With our departure from any and all Oracle infrastructure, this mirroring network has now become our sole distribution mechanism for pushing out all releases and all plugins, in short,...

The first meeting will be held today at 3pm PST (23:00 UTC) in the #jenkins channel on IRC (more details here). In Kohsuke’s post to the mailing...

• Jenkins!

  (This was sent as an email to the Hudson dev and users mailing lists after voting concluded, but I thought it’d be good to post it here as well.) The vote is closed, and the results are in. More than half of the total votes were from ineligible voters, but the result would have been the same either way. The final...
