[Buildbot-devel] [ANN] Buildbot-0.8.6 released

[Dustin J. Mitchell]

Buildbot-0.8.6 and Buildbot-slave-0.8.6 are now available from the
usual sources:

 http://pypi.python.org/pypi/buildbot/0.8.6
 http://code.google.com/p/buildbot/downloads/list

The 0.8.6 release of Buildbot is largely a rollup of contributed
improvements, including a new ForceScheduler to allow much flexible
configuration of forced builds.  This release also contains changes to
the web UI, IRC, MailNotifier, properties, web hooks, and a number of
bug fixes.

Thanks are due to all of the contributors to this version, but
particularly to Tom Prince for his code, patch review, support for
users, and in-depth technical discussions; and to Harry Borkhuis for
his ongoing and patient work on the multirepo project.

File checksums are as follows.  This buildbot release is signed by my
GPG public key (7F0D15B1) (available from keyservers), and the
signatures are available for download at the Google Code site.
