[Brian Warner]

Buildbot-0.3.4 is now available from the sourceforge download page:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=73177 . The release is
signed with my GPG public key, available from
http://www.lothar.com/warner-gpg.html . The MD5 sum of the tarball is:

 e801c8fa3e9fee48a733c5465b8d062c  buildbot-0.3.4.tar.gz
 
This release adds a simple IRC bot which can answer status queries, a parser
for Syncmail CVS commit notices, and a "slave info" system to convey some
descriptions of the buildslave (and its administrator) to the buildmaster
for display in the HTML status page. Work is also progressing on getting the
build slave code to run under windows.

Complete NEWS for the 0.3.4 release is included below. As always, please
direct all feedback, bugs, and patches to the buildbot-devel mailing list.

Have a well-characterized day,
 -Brian


* Release 0.3.4 (28 Jul 2003)

** IRC client

The buildmaster can now join a set of IRC channels and respond to simple
queries about builder status.

** slave information

The build slaves can now report information from a set of info/* files in
the slave base directory to the buildmaster. This will be used by the slave
administrator to announce details about the system hosting the slave,
contact information, etc. For now, info/admin should contain the name/email
of the person who is responsible for the buildslave, and info/host should
describe the system hosting the build slave (OS version, CPU speed, memory,
etc). The contents of these files are made available through the waterfall
display.

** change notification email parsers

A parser for Syncmail (syncmail.sourceforge.net) was added. SourceForge
provides examples of setting up syncmail to deliver CVS commit messages to
mailing lists, so hopefully this will make it easier for sourceforge-hosted
projects to set up a buildbot.

email processors were moved into buildbot.changes.mail . FCMaildirSource was
moved, and the compatibility location (buildbot.changes.freshcvsmail) will
go away in the next release.

** w32 buildslave ought to work

Some non-portable code was changed to make it more likely that the
buildslave will run under windows. The Twisted buildbot now has a
(more-or-less) working w32 buildslave.
