• Alphabetical ordering of projects
• Hint when a project is already added

Tooltip improvements

Add possibility to export parts of the configuration

Major improvements on the documentation

• Started with writing the wiki on this GitHub repo
• Improved the README
• Prepared for implementing a landing page

Second beta release v0.9.0-beta

Improved configuration

We've extended the possibilities to configure the monitored projects by

• Provided better default values for configuration
• Better accessibility to the config functionalities (from the main window)

Major UI overhaul

We've made the whole UI much cleaner and reduced the noise to enhance the user experience with the tool.

• Changed the PrimaryColor of the application to something more easy on the eyes
• Properly aligned all elements of an observed project
• Streamlined the used icons
• Fixed remaining issues with the (dark-) theme not being properly applied to all windows
• Optimized font sizes and weights
• Fixed issue with dialogs that pop-up in „strange“ locations

Added NuGet package for Soloplan.WhatsON

This package can be used by plugin developers that want to extend the tool with other build systems. It is a .NET Standard 2.0 library.

• URL: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Soloplan.WhatsON/
• PM: Install-Package Soloplan.WhatsON -Version 1.0.0-RC6
• dotnet: dotnet add package Soloplan.WhatsON --version 1.0.0-RC5
• Reference: <PackageReference Include="Soloplan.WhatsON" Version="1.0.0-RC5" />

Streamlined implementation to embrace custom plugin development

We've provided better default implementations such that the amount of work to write a plugin gets reduced.
An example: It's no longer necessary to write a custom GUI plugin for a new Connector type. Instead, extending the ConnectorPlugin and implementing its abstract methods is enough to achieve support for a new type of build job.

Added Plugin for Travis-CI

A first preview version of a plugin that exends WhatsON with support for Travis-CI can be found in this repository: steffen-wilke/whatson-travis-ci.

This uses the WhatsON NuGet to provide a custom connector implementation using the Travis-CI API v3.

Shifted focus on build job observation - Removed ServerHealthPlugin

With this version, the tool no longer supports infrastructure monitoring. The ServerHealthPlugin plugin has been dropped and discontinued to enhance the experience for the tools main focus: the monitoring of build jobs.

First beta release v0.8.0-beta

3aed2dc - Use title bar from main window in all other windows.
c5cbf33 - Add three modes for main tree list. Normal, compact and compressed. This should allow the user to view more builds or have better-looking GUI.
5e0ddb5, 8cb9429, 5049699, 6156573 - Modify the approach to reordering of subjects/groups in tree view. Now the settings are not saved automatically, but only after user clicks on save button. It is possible to reset changes.
1a84b02, 5a7b224 - Extract information about people who committed to current build (if available) and show them in GUI. If build is unstable/broken for longer time, everyone who committed since it was stable becomes a culprit even though only a single developer may have caused current build.
e3c1f24 - Fix the same person being added multiple times as culprit for current build.
27e2366, 3b648e0 - Fix parsing of cruise control messages, breakers list should now appear if it was returned by the server.
