Buildbot-0.8.7 and Buildbot-slave-0.8.7 are now available from the
usual sources:

 http://pypi.python.org/pypi/buildbot/0.8.7
 http://code.google.com/p/buildbot/downloads/list

The 0.8.7 release brings a plethora of new features:
 * Support for building projects composed of multiple codebases
 * New, much more flexible property interpolation support (Interpolate)
 * Significant improvements to the ForceScheduler
 * Much more!

The release also drops support for some older software: Buildbot now
requires at least Python-2.5 and Twisted-9.0.0.

See the release notes for more:
  http://buildbot.net/buildbot/docs/0.8.7/relnotes/index.html

While the field of contributors to this version was wide, a few people
deserve special recognition for code, reviews, and support:
 * Tom Prince
 * Pierre Tardy
 * Harry Borkhuis
 * Benoît Allard
 * John Carr
 * Georges Racinet
 * Jared Grubb
 * Malcolm Parsons
Let's have a virtual round of applause for everyone who's helped make
Buildbot greater.  Thanks, folks!

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.

The diffstat against 0.8.6 is:

That's about 36% higher than 0.8.6.  About a third of the changes are
in the unit tests alone!
