VSoft
Technologies Pty Ltd is pleased to announce the immediate availability
of FinalBuilder 5, the award winning Automated Build and Release
Management tool for Windows software developers and software release
engineers.
Canberra, Australia. October 24, 2006 -- FinalBuilder 5, the
next major version of FinalBuilder, has been released. FinalBuilder 5
adds a huge range of new features: over 100 new actions, many build
engine enhancements, IDE enhancements and extra features in
ActionStudio (the IDE for developing FinalBuilder plugins).
"One of the most visible new FinalBuilder 5 features is the ability
to graph the build statistics." says Vincent Parrett, director of VSoft
Technologies. "This can be used to view your build history and the
build success ratio as pie charts and histograms over the desired time
period. The graphs can be exported as images or data, as well as
printed out for inclusion in reports or as a permanent record of the
build statistics at a point in time. Project managers and team leaders
will greatly benefit by the extra reporting capabilities because it
will give them an instant 'at-a-glance' view of their build history."
Integration with the AccuRev and MKS Source version control systems
has been added, taking the total number of supported VCS's to fifteen.
Also, Version Control support has been added to the FinalBuilder IDE
via the Microsoft SCCAPI. This allows your project file, persistent
variables file, and the project data file to be managed in your version
control system by FinalBuilder. The available operations are: Add to
Version Control System, Get Latest Version, Check Out Project, Check In
Project, and Undo Checkout.
Some of the new actions added in FinalBuilder 5 include:
- PsTools Actions
- Serviced Components Registration Tool [REGSVCS]
- WGET Action (HTTP Get)
- String and Path Manipulation actions
- Microsoft Deployment Project
- Stack & Queue actions
- Manifest Generation and Editing Tool [Mage]
- ILMerge
- Sandcastle actions
