New in Release 0.5

Enhanced UI Navigation

In this release, Bamboo has seen a major facelift to its UI including several improvements to the way you can navigate through the system.

The new bread-crumb system lets you keep track of where you are in Bamboo and jump direct to parent pages. Unable to render embedded object: File (breadcrumbs.gif) not found.
Navigate between builds with the next and previous links, or jump direct to a result if you have the build number. You can also see how the build has performed in the recent string of runs at a glance. Unable to render embedded object: File (resultsnavigator.gif) not found.

Relevant information

Bamboo release 0.5 also sees a major revamp to information presentation, focusing on relevant information for you. This occurs at two levels.

At a single build result level, Bamboo highlights important information about a particular build run: Was it successful? Which tests failed? What was the compile error?

Bamboo also intelligently analyses build results: Which failing tests are new? Which ones were already failing in the previous build? In which build did these failures originally occur?
Which tests did this build fix? Which build fixed the failure? How long has the build been failing for? Unable to render embedded object: File (highlightedstat.gif) not found.
On a more aggregate level, Bamboo collates information across build results to provide insightful statistics on how your project has performed. Charts highlight trends in important metrics such as test failures and build times in a visual manner. Unable to render embedded object: File (charts.gif) not found.
For example, this chart demonstrates the improvement of the build from March, as more builds were run with increasing success.
The handy build results filter also lets you choose the set of results for which you wish to view summary information and charts on. Unable to render embedded object: File (filter.gif) not found.
Bamboo also highlights the periods for which the builds have failed, when they were fixed, and how long it took for the failure to be rectified. Unable to render embedded object: File (failureperiods.gif) not found.

Revised Project Editing

The new project editing facility makes it faster and easier to edit an existing project. Unable to render embedded object: File (configuration.gif) not found.
