Buildron 1.5.0 and Buildron RC 2.0.0

02.02.2013

Since Buildron 1.2.0 and Buildron RC 1.0.0 launch we received a lot of suggestions from users around the world. So this new version is about these amazing suggestions + some ideas from our team. Take a look:

Buildron 1.5.0

The Builds History Totem


Now, behind the default builds totems there is something new: The Builds History Totem. This totem shows the history of builds since Buildron started. So, you can have a visual idea of your day builds history. With the new Buildron RC you can look closer to Builds History Totem.



Let there be sounds


Do you want more than a 3D enviroment to radiate your builds? We’ve added FX sounds to some actions, like:

  • Build created
  • Build queued
  • Build running
  • Build failed
  • Build success

Autostart


For users who has a dedicate machine to run Buildron and want to automate the machine wake up and shutdown we have implemented the “autostart” argument.To use it, just call Buildron with this argument and it will try to auto start and connect to CI server.

On Mac:

open Buildron.app --args autostart

On Windows:

Buildron.exe autostart

Persistent filters


The filters from Buildron RC are persistent, so you can disconnect Buildron RC and in next time you start Buildron, the filters will be applied again. It’s useful when you want to use Buildron to show just a subset of your builds.

I have Buildron RC, don’t bother me


The message “Download Buildron RC for iOS and Android: http://skahal.com” won’t appear again if any Buildron RC has connected to your Buildron instance.

Many small improvements

You’ll see a little improvement here and there, like a better floor texture resolution, last update message showing seconds, a better camera positioning, etc. Some bugs were fixed too ;)

Buildron RC 2.0.0

Buildron RC 1.0.0 was very simple remote control to Buildron. For this new version we have redesigned the visual and features. This is why we changed to 2.0.0 version.

Below is the Buildron RC 2.0.0′s features:

One 3D control to rule them all


A new, immersive and fun way to think a remote control on a mobile device. This is concept behind Buildron RC 2.0.0.

Buildron RC is now a full 3D control where you can use your mobile device gestures to navigate and control Buildron : swipe, pinch, tap and free your mind to interact with Buildron.

Filter everything

You can filter builds by status (Queued, Running, Success and Failed) and by builds names.
Your filters are persistent on Buildron.


Sort your builds


Do you want organize your Builds order? From Buildron RC you can sort the builds by name and by date.
You’ll be able to see the builds been sorted. There are 4 classic sort algorithm used each time: Bubble, Selection, Insertion and Shell.


I like to zoom


Get closer or far away from your builds using the Zoom in and Zoom out buttons!




My builds, my history


You can see the new Builds History Totem very closely with the History button.




Spread the word


With Share button you can take a screenshot from Buildron and share it at Twitter (iOS only).




Start and stop build


When you filter the builds and just one left on Buildron you can use Start or Stop buttons.
