Test-AutoBuild is a framework for performing continuous, unattended, automated software builds.

Test-AutoBuild pulls code from source control repositories (CVS, Perforce, and GNU Arch are currently supported), calculates inter-module dependencies, builds each module, and then generates HTML status pages, copies binary packages to Web/FTP server roots, and sends email status alerts. It is written with flexibility and extensibility in mind to make it easy to integrate with a wide range of development tools and languages.

What's New in This Release:
The backend build engine has been refactored into a modular workflow engine.
Support for Mercurial SCM repos has been added, and existing SCM implementations extended to allow extraction of changelogs.
Performance and scalability are improved by hard linking files instead of copying.
Error reporting and logging has been enhanced to make debugging of crashes/problems simpler.
Major work has been done on documentating the tools, configuration file format, and developer APIs.
The coverage of the test suite has been increased to cover a large portion of the critical code sub-systems.
